Mechanics Pictures


Jack found this Snap-On MC-51. Best guess so far is that it is for working on a carburetor. Both shafts have been drilled out for part of their length and one of them has been internally threaded as well.


Centerpiece at Thursday's lunch. Glenn is building a furnace for a forge. The plug needs to be drilled so that it is in line with the body. Drilling by hand is not accurate enough. Time for a drill press and vise. The small holes in the side of the plug are for set screws to hold the gas tube in place once it has been slid into the pipe the correct distance.



Marc's glorious new engine for his Tercel. It may not look new, but all the internal parts are. Can't see it too well in this picture, but it has a honking big cast aluminum intake manifold (that's it on the back side of the engine, at the top of the picture). I wonder if this is one of the criteria he uses when selecting a car.
