Know it's the wrong forum for this. Here's what I got I recently purchased a 1987 d100 with 118k original miles. It has been parked for many many years in a pole barn with serious electrical issues. It has power windows power locks an cruise control.318 with carb . I got the windows power locks...

This may not help anyone but was watching tear down video an heard Tony speak of water collects on internal parts. From my experience in my racing days the fuel storage plays a big part in that also. We would was using methanol as fuel . I noticed that after about 2/3's of drum both EGT readings...

Sounds kinda like degreeing in a camshaft advance for low-end but give up some on top end ...retard for top end give up some on bottom end ...what about 2 independent units still have 10 amps but 2 units in same soulation at one time have one unit on ends an one unit on sides

Looks in order for that work you shave to isolate the ground on one of them units also is that correct? You learning on an advanced curve I'm not much on electronics but not afraid to learn tho:beerchug:

I just watched those..for the same 200.00 dollar budget how large a power source could be built? Here's another thought ..probably can't be done how come you couldn't purchase 2 10 amp 30 volt power source( 50.00 bucks each) an put them in series or have 2 independent circuit to vat.. Have 20...

Thanks for the vote of confidence on my mechanical an machining ability..but when it comes to electrical components I'm lost as last year's Easter egg..I forget who said it but it was here...not much at making a recipe but can follow directions well..that how I am an electronic things :duh:

Well looks like I'm gonna have to purchase a power supply sourse. Any thoughts or input on output requirements, have found a 0-30 volt an 0-20 amp for around 200.00 on line

I can understand the importance of having the abality to adjust the amp output to size of part, so with fixed amp an voltage values..the only variable is time, smaller part less time compared to larger part more time. So how does adjustable voltage effect finished product? Is voltage...

Let me make a math correction I only took off area of holes on one side instead of both sides with new figures it comes out to be .5905 amps per sq inch..it increased amps from .5402 to .5905 per sq inch

I done the math on that test piece an it comes out to be 18.5116 sq inches that both sides an subtracting for slots an holes. With 10 amps it seemed to have good coverage I left it in the soloution for 45 minutes with 10 amps. I know the surface prep is critical, remove scratches an...

My past hobby it almost a necessity, but never thought I would need some of the same equipment in the rc world ...who would have thought I sure wouldn't have

Went shopping today. When I left house it was IFR maybe 1/4 mile visability about 30 minutes ride to store when I left it might have min. VFR... time I got home it was just as foggy as when I left maybe worse..anyway gotta go back there tomorrow

I've been Anodizing some of the aluminum parts I've been making , motor mount.. wheel collars etc. I've been using a battery charger as power source set on 12v 10 amp an works fine. My question is can a dual adjustable power source (voltage an amps) be used as power source. Can get one off ebay...
