What I've done is a variable like what tcianci suggested. Since you have to disconnect the fuel lines anyway, remove the one going forward towards the car, put on a longer hose into a container and then with a rag and low pressure off of an air compressor, form a seal with the rag around the...

Here is a link to some shots of the wall I built in front of my house back in 2004 and further towards the end of the album there are shots of the work I've been doing since last fall on the back section in the back yard. The weather turned bad so I'm now in a holding pattern but at least I can...

Look for some automobile alarm systems. I bought a 7 channel remote control system (main control brain with 2 remotes) a while back for a customer's car to control locking the doors, unlocking the doors, rolling the windows up and down, opening the trunk, and arming and disarming another brand...

I had a similiar problem in my garage ceiling but with 24" center to center ceiling joists but then had 12" center to center roof joists under the roof sheeting. What I did with mine since I also wanted to use the space above the ceiling was to marry new 2x4's to my side walls and then directly...

And if you hold your other arm out at a right angle to your body, the range is even more (although you do look funny doing that). Found that out years ago and that does work. Jim

I've installed a few through the years and if the vehicle has a VSS wire it makes connections easier to get the signal needed to hold a particular speed. On the older cars they used to have magnets you attached to the driveshaft close to the front U joint and a pickup was placed close to it and...

I knew I had some pictures of the right angle ports I made: http://rides.webshots.com/album/559298395ChsafL?vhost=rides&start=48 Jim

I put my 20 gallon horizontal compressor in the garage attic a few years ago and I ran a dedicated outlet to it off of a heavy duty light switch in the light switch panel next to the garage light switches so I can turn it on and off easily. In my garage I have 2x6 ceiling joists with insulation...

I kicked in the figures of 1.75 cu.ft., 49Hz tuning frequency, 3.75" ID port into the below link and also the other one from the12volt.com and they both came up with 4.34" long. Cutting the ones from parts express down to 4.5" in length will be just fine...

I did some back work with figures on your link and I kicked in 2985 cu. in. for airspace with a 4.625 (4 5/8") diameter port 7.5" long and it came up to pretty close to 78Hz. 2985 cu. in converts to about 1.7 cu.ft. and using this calculator: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp I...

When going to a larger diameter port the length WILL increase. Going smaller in diameter will shorten the overall length. Going too small can create whooshing noises and this is why some you need to run flared end types of ports or larger diameter ones. Another option to is find out the area of...

Was the old port a 4" ID ?. If so you could use a PVC type of tubing from the hardware store. If the old port was 4" ID x let's say 10" and you do not have that kind of depth in the new setup, cut a new port using some PVC tubing and have it the same inside diameter as the old one as well as to...

When I put the lights in my door years ago all I could say was WOW, what a difference. I modified an old drop light retractor removing the stop catch so the wire could be pulled out and easily drawn back in. I’ve had mine done for a few years and have not had any problems with it except for...

On my garage my roof trusses are running left to right and were single 18' long 2x6's. To add support on mine I married another 2x6 to the originals after taking a 2x4 from the garage floor to the original 2x6 and wedged it in to take the droop out of it before nailing (marrying) the new 2x6 to...
