this JC Whitney product does NOT look like a supercharger to me

Image
electric super charger? So, a hair dryer without a heating element? Or looking at the images of the distributor cap, it's something to do with the ignition?

All right, that's it for me for the week, I'm going to be at D23 Expo until Sunday

stay out of trouble!

Montana demolition derby crash kills an EMT, injures 7, as car went over a chain-link fence into spectators - no hard barriers - and an EMT (a mom with 2 kids) died ignoring what 120 years of racing has proved: that spectators get killed without hard barriers

Several cars were still competing at the Tri-County Fair at 9:35 p.m. during the final heat of the demolition derby at the Powell County Fairgrounds when seven drivers were competing for the championship, one car collided with another,  and the driver "came out of the turn he was unable to control the vehicle in any way,"  Sheriff Roselles said Monday. "He ended up going over the top of the fence." “The driver had no control of his vehicle in those final moments,” the Sheriff said. “He was unable to take any evasive action.

It was just a bad series of events.” "It was sad and scary," Victoria Lopez told The Associated Press via Facebook.

not many cars survive moving from house to house, when they are dissasembled and mostly a lot of boxes and hopes that "someday I'll get it fixed" but this '67 Ferrari got lucky

The 275 GTB/4 burned an abnormal amount of oil, and he suspected the valve guides were to blame. He took the V-12 engine partially apart to start the lengthy process of rebuilding it. Life got in the way of his project, so the V-12 sat dismantled in boxes. The car and the boxes of parts followed him from house to house for about four decades until his wife urged him to do something with it. “Don’t die and leave me with a car in boxes; I wouldn’t know what to do with it,” she pleaded. He took her advice, loaded the car and the boxes onto a trailer, and asked a shop to put it back together. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2019/08/19/cars-that-stole-the-spotlight-at-the-2019-concorso-italiano
