Part of the extreme weight saving on that car. I wonder if there are any aluminum body panels on that one. Rule of thumb - 100 pound weight saving = about .1 second reduction in 1/4 mile elapsed time. @ebinmaine what transmission was in that car - Torqueflite or 4 speed? We looked at a ton of cars and I'm not positive but I think it was a stick 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,764 #8507 Posted yesterday at 12:04 AM I got Pack Rat, the B-110 out and did some cart work moving items between the house and lake house in preparation for the folks coming for the weekend. I seem to be on a string of bad mechanical luck - water pump on the outboard, the chipper going dead, and now, one of the tires on the cart has developed a leak. I ended up charging the tank on my pancake compressor and carrying it in the cart. I'd load the cart, fill the tire, drive the 100 yards to the other house, unload then load the cart, inflate the tire, drive to the other house, etc, etc, etc. The current tires on the cart are cheaper wheelbarrow tires, maybe 6 years old. The sidewalls are cracking, so it is time for replacement. I'll go with something heavier for replacements. I think the cart wheels are 8" by 4" wide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,764 #8508 Posted 8 hours ago (edited) I pulled the pontoon as close to land as I could get it and dug into the water pump replacement. It went pretty much as advertised, even though I was working in the water. Here is what I found: Which impeller is new, an which is old? Anyone? Anyone? This job would be a lot easier with the boat on the trailer and out of the water. I think maybe, this should be a PM job every 4 seasons or so.
