Re: PO has me PO'd

Just had a couple minutes to post up picks of a couple tools I just bought one is a pusher for barbed hose connectors, the other is the hose clamps I will be using on my radiator hoses

The other pic is of the electrical mess I have to straighten out, and mount my computers in the glovebox

LOL, yeah, I guess that does look like a lot of wire, but that"s not my problem, I have a schematic which shows wire color and pin location. My problem is learning my laptop/tablet, but we'll see if I can figure that part out

The reason for fuel injection is steep incline and decline, the ones where you only see sky, and your butt tightens. Don't know of a old school carb, that can handle that, but I may be wrong

Thanks for watching, Richard

Ordered my rubber isolation mounts from Mc Master Carr, will be here tomorrow

Waiting on my other 4 core rad. mount

thanks for stopping by, yeah, I agree love the look of the TPI intake, might buy the kit to straighten out the runners. Progress is ALWAYS slow for me, to many irons in the fire. I'll have to check out your build thread

Thanks Tom for setting me straight. Machinery is pretty cheap around here, I only paid 400 for this one, even came with a electric cross feed and vice.It's 3 phase, so I have to change the motor. there is a bearing company that wants me to key shafts for them, so I will have work this winter

You are kidding me! Around here a Bridgeport like that would go for about 10X that. A wore out Bridgeport would still be $2K+.

What voltage is your motor? If it's 208, keep the 3 phase and use a variable frequency drive(VFD). I run a few of my machines this way and now prefer small 3 phase motors over single phase because I can make them variable speed. Best part is that a VFD is relatively cheap to buy.

Started to go down that road, I agree a better way, but 220V and 2 phase, might try looking a little more, but 2 phase VFD are hard to find or even available. Then I started to think about buying a 3 phase motor and a VFD, the motor plate is smashed and hard to tell what number the frame is
