Update on my blown head gasket: I've been at it for 3-5 hr's a day for the past several days. I should have the head off by tomorrow. The heat and humidity has not helped! It has been a pain in the shorts,especially at my age; at least as bad as replacing the steering rack! Next will be to deliver t...

Ziptie the intercooler and radiator together into a sandwich. Swing the ac coil out of the way and hang it off a bungee or something. Maneuver the radiator up ...

New to me:

Reviving this with the first progress in a long while. Decided to switch to a lumisil IS31FL3239 as they are in stock. Also dumbed it down a bit and may try to code this in the arduino IDE to ease my way into it. Later iterations will be coded in AVR but for now i want to do this one step at a time ...

Also - I'm sure they were around before that, but in WWII, various planes added superchargers to make enormous power at high altitude where there's not enough air. Spitfire, P-51, P-38...I'm sure many others. Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 P-51D.jpg merlin-supercharger.jpg image172.jpg P-38 with Allison V-...
