why I said 50% of our bikers are ok chaps....they are loud but a couple of them are careful with the revs till they are out of the neighborhood before cracking the throttle....by that time it is not a sharp noise that hurts your ears. Then as stated a few just got to be obnoxious in your face look at me I ride a noise maker.....its a cult thing.....all I can say...

actually the law defaults a bit above middle ground in their limits.....but this is not acceptable to many....

what you need now is a train horn......lol

so is my 54 Plymouth....my insurance agent asked me to start it up so he could hear it run....I told him it was running now.....

in my experience and the go to for me overall for the best sound ever is a oval (pancake) turbo muffler.......good sound...not deafening...no brap....just deep throating sound....smittys, thrush, glasspacks.....just too sharp on the average...

enforcement is the primary cause and effect.....no inspections....folks will push the envelope. Too many standards out there for X bikes of X year manufacture. Some of the factory pipes for large bikes exceed 100 but below the 115db old rating....new bikes are being built to muffler ratings of about 80db where many states have 82-84db rulings this 80db muffler rating pretty much is a cover for all level of bike makers.....as laws and law enforcement varies from place to place you will always find those that exceed the limits....loud pipes does not NECESSARY save lives...they endanger more than they think. Approaching from the rear on a major highway at speed...you never know they are there till they just beside you...some of these riders think it funny to blast the accelerator aside a driver's window....scaring the crap out of many drivers who swerve due to alarm and greatly incur risks of accidents. I have seen this a number of times....it takes responsibility to safely drive a bike...not noise....to many myths out there.

I got an offer for a guaranteed life insurance policy for LuLu Adams....LuLu was at the time my 7 year old Chinese Pug....who are these poeple? My buddy would jerk these guys around and ask them to repeat what they said, they tire quickly....can I get an order of fries with that....?

I did not think many rotations were coming about in the military right now due to the current health issues across the nation. Not seen many PCS in this this next of the woods.

pulling my original 1952 owners manual page 33 shows limited warranty less tires to the original purchaser for 90 days or 4000 miles whichever comes first.... of note...! at the forefront of the manual is a written letter insert to owners to take advantage of the dealership 1000 and 3000 miles services. It did not state if this was a warranty service, or needed to be performed to keep warranty effective.

not sure of the warranty....I assure you it was not as today.....but you can rest easy, NTSB lists no recalls for a 1948 D24

where is Emmett Lathrop Brown when you need him....

Los....sorry I read that wrong I guess....I thought you had said yours was timed with #1 at 1 o'clock.....whereas that would have been 180 out....I see you saying 1 tower off....my bad...!

Los..as 1 is 180 from 7....you just need to go 180 on the distributor shaft (rotor will now point to 7 TDC 1 and index your wiring on the tower

Its is not a compulsion at all it is simply attention to detail that everyone should be willing to work toward. There is little that is so detracting from a car to see it from a distance in nice paint, get up close, interior dressed....look in the boot, under the hood and or under the car and NOTHING was done and looks like a family of goats and rats live there...I bet if you opened the glove box a passel of "cut corners" would fall out. Wiring harness...frayed, split open wires dangling...I'll send you a dollar if you need it to tape the harness...!! (not...go fund your own project just stating it is not expensive or intensive)

yeah....this is common to have a dropped letter or misspelled word.....was not trying to make you out for a fool with my quote...only showing how easy it happens. As this was discussed long ago and pointed out in earlier factory books was no mention of the 7 position....only later in Mopar books was this 7 mentioned and as always the aftermarket books would repeat factory lingo. I like the idea of the standard 7 position so when having a problem with ignition and such and an owner should have to seek help....there is not the, here's your problem with tower indexing as will be the first find by many though it be not the actual problem and corrected at the cap towers a problem injected during poor troubleshooting that means yo still have the first problem and will now have to correct the injected problem should the man get lucky and find a bone.....many do not understand the ignition system as it is in the first place and have so much difficulty because they do not PROVE what is right but only guess at what may be wrong.

Many headlight of EU origin will have a code cast into the prism of the lens stating the country for which this lens /bulb combo is accepted by desgin so to assure the authorities there you are running legit lighting or illegal. Hella lists these by E# codes and arrow indicating L, R or L/R driving. If interested, read a bit more here...I have a fair assortment of Hella, Cibie and Lucas PL lights in H4 configuration and they mostly in my Euro cars. Really nice lights.. HELLA headlamp codes. Decoding the combinations

timing of the distributor rotor for 7 is done by meshing the teeth of the oil pump with the gear on the cam as the pump drives the distributor.....10 year old typo more than not where pump timing is probably missing the / for pump/timing similar to your FIEST probably means FIRST and your REINDEX just means to INDEX though maybe a second or third time. wagoneer Senior Member, have way too much spare time on my hands Members 57 222 posts Location: Raleigh, NC My Project Cars:1948 Chrysler Windsor 1950 Dodge B2B - Project Elise Author Posted 1 hour ago One of my near term goals was to reindex my distributor so tdc points to 7 o’clock instead of 9 o’clock . In principle, this shouldn’t matter though right, it’s just me being OCD?! We’ll, back in 2011 in the engine rebuild tips thread, @Plymouthy Adams stated the timing pump (timing chain?) needs proper alignment to get proper distributor position. fiest, did you really mean oil pump here or is it the timing chain that controls it? If the latter, I have a lot more work than I hoped so I’m hoping it’s the former . my understanding was I could change the index by adjusting the oil pump (remove and rotate so it’s at 7 pm instead of 9 in my case.

I did a bit of a read on the Volt....seems the issues are many and mostly unknown.....for GM to sell a kit to a qualified shop to retrofit, that seems so very strange a statement/process given at this time and their latest software upgrades GM has not repaired the cars with issues. This would not make for a warm fuzzy given the work involved, the classic car at risk and the out of pocket for loss. Even the insurance companies as I read are really hitting that car with steep depreciation.

I would think a photo from the side and below to go with the one show top only would be beneficial.....

as I read the request, he is looking for the cover that fits over the oval hole which is the access to the master cylinder...

like Sam said, this is not a hard item to replicate at the house with common shop tools....you may wish to cut the loss time and try your hand to fabricate a fix....at worst you get a stop gap fix as you scour about for a factory piece. You may surprise yourself as to the one you make.

Like that grille.....I have a car with a very similar grille insert.....

learn to follow the conversation you started......the very reply was in reference to the eccentric.....which I kept mentioning but went unrecognized by you multiple times. Have you figured out the parts breakdown now.....?

I see your problem....you found the word washer above the word fitting and I stated the bushing in question had the word washer above it.......again though, you have not studied the very breakdown you posted...enjoy your day. This is going nowhere....

look like a good gathering....we had a local free show today but by the advertisement...this was mainly a dealership thing sporting the new models.....guess they figure folks don't know where their sales lots are.......I did not attend....new cars are not on my radar
