Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

[spike021]

I'm considering getting dyno-tuned for headers and E85/flex fuel again after the new year. But I'm hesitant because for one thing it's super expensive and I've already paid once for one shop to do it, and for another thing the last time I did it was a clusterf*ck and the shop basically didn't help me solve those engine issues.

After such a bad experience last year I'm just super apprehensive.

This is the garage of a friend of my uncle’s. Has. 700 sqft apartment inside. That is his barn and pump house up above. The house is on the other end of the lot.

I personally use 74O98 rather than 73LTC units of measurement.

The 74 Olds 98 was 232.4" long vs the 225" for the 73LTC you mention.

You can use a factor of 1.03 to convert 73LTC to 74O98.

My preference for the Olds 98 measurement is because that is what I took my driver's test in when 16.

Do you MGs or Spitfires for sub units?

Your used cars had floor mats?

MGs, but just personal preference.

Naw... the 1934-35 Cadillac V16 was even bigger with a wheelbase of 154" and an overall length of 240".

That is a nice, round number for measurements, may have to reconsider but the 74O98 has the nostalgia factor for me.

Let's not get all archaic in the systems we use. This is the modern world
