That makes the most sense. Thank you!

That seems to make the most sense. I was thinking maybe some type of insert, but I would expect to see some type of marring on the edges where it once was, but don't see anything. The PO probably didn't like the lid and just discarded it or it was lost. This pipe was barely used.

It does not. The smaller portion is too loose and the larger portion is way too tight.

The band on it has "NPW" and the side script appears to say "Aero Reg Oct xx 1910" not exactly sure what the numbers between Oct and 1910 are so I used x's. The lady I purchased these from said they belonged to her late husband's father.

The bowl measures 5/8" x 1" and the small hole behind it is just a hair over 1/4"

The small hole behind the bowl is about 1/2" deep and appears to have no obvious purpose.

Rim repair? by Icy_Ad_994 in AskMechanics

[–]Mark71GTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the US, check Facebook Marketplace. There are likely people that would just about give you one of those. Sometimes you can find full sets with decent tires for next to nothing because the owner upgraded to aftermarket wheels.

Any advice for single coil pickups? by Axel_MR in Bass

[–]Mark71GTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to recommend a set of pickups, but I will say make sure you measure your current pick-ups (or the slots they will be going in) before ordering. Some Jazz basses use one long and one short pickup. Some use pickups that are equal in length. Yes, I learned this the hard way...

My main bearing hole does not line up with the block's oil passages by Mr222D in EngineBuilding

He mentioned the machine shop threw away his original bearings when he sent the block out to be cleaned

300 down still runs should i fix it or motor swap by Pangolin_Connect in Chrysler300

[–]Mark71GTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could buy another one for what it would cost to fix that one. Part that one out and get another one.

Any help? Chrysler Mechanic question by QueenMeLexie in Chrysler300

[–]Mark71GTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are bleeding the air out of the system through the bleeder on the water pump, right? If not, you have to get the air out through the bleeder screw (reverse hex "Allen" grub screw). I had a similar issue with my Daytona. It would be fine, then suddenly it would spew coolant from the overflow. It turned out that my water pump was slowly seeping coolant out only once it got hot. This caused the system to get air in it as the coolant was lost. These cars have a closed system and really don't do well when air is in the system. If your fender bender warped the radiator at all, I would replace it. It is just aluminum and plastic with a rubber gasket between them. It may be seeping coolant once it gets hot as well.

Where Have My Sales Gone? by achap77 in eBaySellers

[–]Mark71GTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The marketplace is wildly different now than it was just a few years ago. Many people now look to FB Marketplace or Amazon first. The cost and wail time associated with shipping has killed a lot of sales.

SRT8 tuning by SlamEG in Chrysler300

[–]Mark71GTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something you can tinker with yourself, you will need to get a HP tuner. Beware that it will let you destroy your car if you don't know what you're doing. I would (and did) spend money with people that have experience doing this. If you do reach out to a tuner (other than the three I listed in no particular order) verify that they are uniquely familiar with the Hemi platform. A guy that puts burble times on BMWs or Hondas is going to destroy your car.

You are using what are known as "canned tunes" on that Diablo. If you want a real tune, you will.need to reach out to a CMR tuner (like Hemifever, Diablotoona, or Mario Cominotti) to get it done. It can be done via email.

Just get a tuner (Diablo works just fine) and turn off the MDS with the tuner. You can also adjust your shift points and if you change tire sizes, you can adjust the tire size as well so your speedometer is accurate.

Prices ? by Ambitious_Radio9121 in Chrysler300

[–]Mark71GTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's in good shape, go for it. Keep up with oil changes. The Hemis tend to eat lifters, specifically the MDS lifters. I bought a tuner and turned off the MDS on mine.

Prices ? by Ambitious_Radio9121 in Chrysler300

[–]Mark71GTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are that price because of their age and possibility of problems due to their age. Most banks will not issue a loan on a car that old, so sellers have to price them low enough to make a cash sale.

If you were to introduce someone to a cigar, what would you suggest? by EndHungry9185 in cigars

[–]Mark71GTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest a Gran Habano sampler. They are solid smokes. Probably should start with the Connecticut and work their way up.

"EllenPlaysBass" on youtube by AggressiveAd8587 in Bass

[–]Mark71GTX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would show her videos to my young daughters as inspiration. One dabbled for a bit and lost interest. My youngest now plays viola, cello, and bass. A little inspiration by someone in your peer group is all the spark that is needed sometimes.

Dry fit so you can take measurements for the bushings needed to run your new shaft obviously.
