It's horrible! I'm getting older and more of a comfort seeker. 25 years ago I'd be out on the lake all day on my boat, drinking beers and what not.

I feel the same Mark. If I was in my 20s and our bars were closed I just can't imagine the DUIs I'd rack up. Thanks to testosterone, lack of, I'm able to be safer at home now days.

25 years ago (well, closer to 50 years for some of us) boats, blondes and beer WAS comfort. Staying home was agony. I can't imagine being cooped up these days if I was still a young man. All that adrenaline and testosterone going to waste. Not good.

I would stick with the original bushes where possible for a street car. If you go with PU, be carefull with PU components on the front compression rods. They are known to break due to the extra stiffness. People literally burn these old bushes out. Must like breathing in toxic fumes. I have had a lot of sucess by grabbing the center bush with a pair of vice grips, heating only the outside metal and twisting the inner bush. It will let go eventually and you can pull it straight out with very little mess and fumes.

Found this paper from 1979, which already seems long ago (looks like a typewriter was used, a mechanical one,), about happenings in 1879. Electrical mysteries. Not the original author re zKar's post, just a similar vein. http://www.physics.utah.edu/~lebohec/P5510/References/Discovery_of_Hall_effect.pdf

Man... Every time I open this thread, I'm hoping and expecting the "Eureka!! I found it!!" The suspense is killing me!!

I trash picked a treadmill a while ago and stripped out the motor and DC controller*. I've repurposed that thing for so many different test applications that I've forgotten half of them. Here it is recently spinning up a Z distributor so I can poke around inside the stock ignition module: * Best time around here to find such a thing is in the spring. 1) People are doing "spring cleaning", and 2) The luster of the new year's resolutions have worn off.

Edwin Hall 1879! I HAD to google that.

And the lord said “let there be a HALL EFFECT” and man thence invented the Hall Effect sensor and there was peace, happiness and simple little velocity independent, constant voltage square waves across all the lands.... I saw it and it was good. My apologies to the original author.....

I wanted overhead doors with glass panels like the old filling stations used to have but they were 7 grand apiece so I opted for insulated doors which were only $300 more than non-insulated. These doors are double skinned and are rated for 200 mph wind loading. Stout things! Then the epoxy guys took three days to put down the floor in three coats. Sand / prep, primer coat, sand smooth, base coat, sand smooth, and top coat. Cottonwood beige. The walls and ceiling were primed and painted Willow Springs white. The lights are LED units 3000k delivering 5000 lumens. The windows are aluminum projecting but much to my dismay, they only project out 3" which doesn't do much for cross ventilation. I screwed up and located the ceiling fan outlets where they conflict with the overhead door hangers. In this photo, I have my oak drafting table placed up against the back wall. The holes in the wall near the floor are flood vents which go in after the stucco. I have to get everything off my shelving and work bench before I can move it all in and get organised. Look at that reflection off the floor!

I think I found the problem. Butterfly had ZERO play and the shaft holding it looks bent...
