I don't know. Mine is sitting behind the back seat as that is closest to the motor. This is more of a fun secondary car and I don't rely on it for regular use.
Initially I built the motor with dual Weber DCNF carburetors and a Bosch 019 distributor. I got tired of the carburetors and/or couldn't figure out how to adjust them properly.
This is it running at it's best.
I had read about Megasquirt, which, if you are unaware, is a standalone ECU. I...
Are you looking at the GX series? I don't know the specs off the top of my head but I'm sure the data exists out there on the web.
EDIT: Here's the link to Northern Tools GX200 page.

Check out the Deutsch connectors from McMaster. They've got a decent price and the crimper was only $50.
I've not had much success linking McMaster in the past but here it is.

Milled my manifolds for injector bungs
Test fit with rail on passenger side
Driver side
The fuel rail
It will probably be another week or two before I can weld the bungs in. I'll also make a bracket to hold the rail down.
Throttle body test fit. Accelerator cable seems to be just fine. I bought a long one out of a mid or early 70's bus ran it through the guide from a motorcycle's choke cable around the left side of the fan shroud. The throttle return spring is super firm though.
I marked manifolds for...
I knew my clutch cable was done when the pedal flopped to the floor. I did as jagec suggested for the trip home. Fortunately I was only a mile away. Snapped accelerator cable was also a noteworthy experience. I held the throttle open with a rag and nursed it home. Both of those events...
They are able to withstand a lot of power. There are only 2 gears so less time is spent shifting. No fancy computer required. Simple, cheap, and lots of them in use.
Bueller?
Viewsonic wants $129 just to look at it and I'm responsible for shipping both ways. I'm thinking that would be close to a new display's price. I can't bring myself to throw it away, I think it could still be a simple fix. I'll decide on a replacement within a week and put this one on...
I have an older Viewsonic LCD, model number VP201B. It recently developed a corrupted display so I replaced the capacitors in the power supply. I run dual monitors and I'd already done the repair on the other so I thought this was going to be a slam dunk.
Now when I power up the recently...
Running lines for house air. It was a kit I got from my father-in-law for my birthday or Christmas. Kobalt brand I think. It came with a great selection of fittings but not enough tubing. The air releases the locks on the lift. I also installed 2 quick disconnect outlets on each side of the...
The 305 is cursed with a tiny (relatively) bore size. This, in my opinion, is the limiting factor for power production since you are limited to smaller valves that don't flow much air. I don't think a 350 cylinder head would swap because the intake valve would smash into the block.
EDIT: I...
I wouldn't spend any time or money on a 305. If it runs and it's fun enough for you I'd leave it alone but if you need anything beyond what it delivers stock swap it out. 350s are all over the place, dirt cheap, and have the largest selection of parts available for them.
Have you considered a variable frequency drive (VFD)? I've never personally used one but it may be worth considering. Or how about replacing the motor with a 220V one? You can get a 1/4HP for under $100. The plus side would be not needing to worry about cobbling anything together.
My brother-in-law does paint and auto body work professionally and is starting to get into helmets and bicycle frames. Seeing as how I bought a helmet for my go-karting and autocross adventures I figured I'd have him paint it.
Here are the results.
My name along the bottom and subtle...
I had one of my milk jugs full of used oil burst on my back patio. I bought a product called purple power from autozone and it cleaned it up no problem.
Eastwood has a notching tool that is considerably less expensive.

I've no experience with any of the jd squared or eastwood products.
You can disconnect the outlet from the transmission that goes to the cooler and then start up the car. Have it pump out a quart into a measured jug. Stop the car and add a quart in. Rinse and repeat until the fluid coming out looks like the fluid coming in. Naturally there is a risk here if...
I did some calculations on my own setup.
There are 9 total fixtures each with 4 T8 bulbs. I got a screaming hot deal when they were upgrading a school in TN so I paid USD 10 per fixture including bulbs and ballasts.
8.3A at 120V is roughly 1kW of power consumption. The rate for...
I use these dark fabric things with PIG printed on them. My father-in-law gives them to me when I visit. Probably not as cost effective as cardboard if you're buying it yourself though.
As the rumor goes, every car is engineered to fit an LS motor but then something goes wrong at the factory and they put something else in. If you've got the bankroll for a crate motor I'd definitely do that.
My father-in-law used to have a '36 Chevrolet but it was a Humpback.
I too am familiar with the "too lazy to do [EDS]". When we had the huge container of LN2 outside it wasn't so bad. It supplied our house N2 and we could also drain off some liquid for EDX or "fun". As it turns out that was costing us $30k or more per year so we nixed it and now use individual...
