I'm not sure where the hell I was getting 1hp from. Clearly says 1/2hp on the back of my opener. DOH!



If you go over to Home Depot around closing time, you'll usually hear some bangers on the overhead system. As I was leaving on Thursday night, Triumph came on. I wandered around a bit longer so I could hear it all.

Strange Question. Does anyone know the angle of the cat that comes off the header on a 97-03? Found out that my state does not do emissions for vehicles 20 years of older, so i want to just rip the last of the cats out and replace with pipe. I want to do this myself and was thinking of getting 45' exhaust elbows to come off right after the front O2 sensors. Thoughts?

Default Gas Stabil ETC

A gal with a (EDIT) test like Smitty did a demo on moisture absorbing ability of Stabil and another product. I was not quite able to catch the name. Her simple test showed Stabil absorbed NO water. What she liked, did. And she quickly went through where and when Stabil didn't, then did claim to absorb moisture. I was unable to grab a link. I want to say her fav had a name starting like Evo...

For a very few bucks, there's a tool that fits into an angle for construction Friction holds the angle, then the carpenter can retrieve the tool and measure said angle. HTH.

Been playing with the Vette and it likes the race gas.
So, I am assuming it had old gas in it.

Ahhh. Well, then it would be a pain. Short pcs of wood can move the angle out past the body of the cat, but difficult perhaps while it's installed. If you are removing it anyway, extend the remaining pipes w pcs of wood or PVC, and read that angle? Maybe poor ideas, but perhaps will trigger a good idea. Good luck - let us know.

I've done a ton of research the past few weeks. This is what everyone says is the best fuel stabilizer AND is the only one with rejuvenating features to restore bad fuel.

Thks White. $44/32 oz on Amazon but one has it 10% off, ~$40. ~10% tax for me. Deliv, Dec 5-6. Twice the amount I wanted, but... It will keep. 😆

EDIT; Also got 2 or of anti-fog yellow clip ones for my glasses, $16/2.
