Hornet, no much older than that, 1960 Classic Cross Country station wagon. I collected them for a number of years, put a lot of miles on two of them.

Gee, I guess someone must be bored.... Here's the original post text from 2006: The engine was something that came out of a freebie car that I was given over 20 years ago. It was complete and probably ran at one time, but I now have no use for an AMC 196.7 cu.in. in-line six cylinder gas engine. Off...

Gee, ya think? You ought to be more worried about Facebook, Google, Big Oil, and the Bankstas, all of which have a much more intense interest in violating your privacy than the Rev'noors.

Before you wig out on the price of tires, look around and find a reputable tire dealer who can sell you some used skins. I bought 5 for my Crown for $50 each + mounting. These tires have enough tread on them to last the rest of my life (Typical tread life on truck tires, [minus road hazards] is like...

WHAT BAD VIBES???? I've said all along that the day Rudy Harley joined the forum was the the day it began breathing on it's own and stopped being all-Sharkey-all-the-time. This is confirmed by hard evidence. Look at the forum statistics and check out August 2009, Rudy's join date. The page views inc...

No, it's a hideous Citroën 2CV.

Say what? I don't think it's either. This forum was basically deserted until Rudy came along and livened it up and made it worth the bother to maintain. If he's ducking out for good, I might as well just pull the plug and turn out the lights. Who will post images of buses and trucks for sale? Who wi...

I like the way that they painted the tail fins back onto the camper: http://i51.tinypic.com/1zldoue.jpg Also, it looks like the rear axle has been replaced by a ¾ or 1 ton truck unit. Also wonder about needing two spares, one for the front and one fo the rear. And can't you just smell the inside of...

Because I taught myself how to put "pagination" into the PHP scripts while working on another forum page, I've inserted that feature on the "50 Recent Posts" page. It's now possible to view topics in reverse chronological order all the way back to the very first when the forum wa...

Vegetable esters are very slippery molecules. Just look a the chemical compatibility charts for something as simple as protective work gloves and you'll see that there isn't much that stands up well to vegetable oil. In anticipation of this, I changed out all of the flexible rubber hoses under the h...

I can't remember if I already mentioned this elsewhere on the forum, but I've been having problems with the fuel system on my diesel VW Rabbit. It started back when I winterized the fuel, switching from 100% biodiesel to a 60% biodiesel/40% petroleum diesel blend. Each fall, it's necessary to blend ...

Users who want their forum clock to be set properly will want to log in and change the setting of their time zone back one hour. For instance I had to change from -8 hours GMT to -7 hours in order for PDT to read correctly. Does anyone else get an error message instead of returning to the forum when...

OK, and we are back.

It looks like everything is operational, although there may be some things that depend upon the old IP address, and which will need to be updated with the new.

If you see anything on the site that looks broken, let me know and I'll check it out.

??? I don't know a thing about CAT engines, but that doesn't look anything like an injection pump to me. What it looks like is a "lifter" or "pusher" pump, designed to move fuel from the tank to the actual injector pump. Does it only have two lines connected to it? One to the tan...
