I drag-raced a stranger in a 5-ton on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan in my Deuce during the Woodward Dream Cruise event. He won by a couple of feet. I let off when I saw that a very nice and expensive looking classic muscle car (a Cutlass 442, I think) was directly in front of me. It...
Tore off most of the injector lines to find where it was leaking fuel from on the hydraulic head. I was scared it might be an O ring problem.
Turns out, the #4 injector line was loose at the hydraulic head. Took it out and reseated it....and (knock on wood) it seems to be leak free.
I drained the Rotella 10w30 after two years and about 80 engine hours and replaced it with Travellers 15w40 from T.S.Co. (I switched to spin on filters about a month ago). I drained about 4 gallons out. Which leads me to this stellar question: what do the marks on the dipstick represent? I...
Welcome Lane. No wrenching in the near future. I'm not too far from you--i696 & i75.

Loaded up the kids and took her up to the Woodward Avenue Cruise near Detroit.
Then we seen some more steel soldiers (too bad we were leaving when we seen them).
On my deuce, (which I just painted...see picture) the fire department that had mine used it to fight forest fires. They removed the bumper a replaced it with custom one that incorporates a roll cage that's protected the cab.
Made her into a convertible while I redo the hard top. In her second career, she was used to fight forest fires and had a thousand antennas and strobe lights on the roof.
