I converted my '66 Corvair to transistor ignition about '77. I think the kit was around $60 or so. It sure did start better after the upgrade.

Was it a spyder?

Hope that'll get you back on the road Rick

So does the bonding material degrade? This was bought no more then 3 years ago...

Looks like 2020 isn't done yet, still you'll be left with some good memories...

Swag Off Road Hulk tube roller with the appropriate die

Edit; After reading again I realize you're looking for a bender, not a roller.

Sign up for their email list, you should get the codes.

What I want to know is which machine is solid, will last say 10 years, has the ability to keep up as I learn and not limit me in the medium term future. Open to suggestions. Welcome to the forum, I bought a Dynasty 210dx and had a problem that required service, fortunately under warranty, that was ...

I'm just wondering what kind of gloves you'd wear :shock:. Granted with a bigger torch your hand will probably be further away from the arc, but with a watercooled 20 you can light up at 250 amps and see smoke flash off your gloves. Honestly I think any TIG work done using that large of tungsten wo...

Well what will you use when welding with your Dynasty 800?

In theory it will!

BillE.Dee wrote:Quick note....tonight went to walmart...denatured alcohol is $.60 more per quart than acetone.

So what's the take away, buy IPA?

Welcome, see you in the forums!

The nice thing about isopropyl is while not as aggressive as acetone, it doesn't evaporate away nearly as fast, but still dries fast enough it doesn't become an inconvenience. I doubt I'm the only one to have SOAKED a paper towel in acetone only for it to start drying before I was done cleaning, or...

Yes, maybe not for code work but it does the trick.

Something like this?

Very nice work Jay, like the design

Do you have a source to buy Walter abrasives in small quantities?

I always use 90% IPA, unless it's a critical weld or the oil/grease is heavy, even then I start with the IPA to get most of the contaminate off, and finish with acetone.

take a road trip Oscar...You can come to the jersey shore of PA and meet the crew, and you can bring the 300 with you. I hear Texas has really nice weather this time of year. I just grilled some brats outside on a mesquite/pecan/hickory wood fire. Can I do that up north? Nah. :lol: I think that mea...

Eastwood? Yeswelder?

BillEDee stopped in with his today so I got to spend about four hours burning up his mig wire. What an awesome welder. That is a very sweet rig. I burned a bunch of er70s 6 + a whole bunch of 5356 on aluminum. I can't think of a single thing I would have wanted different. That was my first experien...

I've never had a problem with 400 still in the tank (T size 330cf), still that doesn't rule it out. Can you post photos of your project?

Since the question was posted in the TIG forum we assume you are TIG welding, be aware as you runs beads and the plate warms this will effect the amps needed, just back off on the pedal a little and/or increase travel speed, but at some point it'll be too hot so either start a new plate or cool that...

I find the flush welds very satisfying
