    AMP harness connector availability

    Many of the connectors Ford uses are proprietary designs and are not available without authorization from Ford. In the past, this has not always been an easy road. This may be changing though as Globe Component Products has become an exclusive distributor of connector components and terminals...

    Does anyone have any experience with the dual alternator system used by Ford on their E-series diesels? I am looking for information on how they operate and how to go about replacing them with a single aftermarket alternator. Under what conditions do each of the alternators function? How does...

    Volumetric Efficiency

    Now we are getting somewhere. First of all, Shaun, I live in Goshen, Indiana (north-central Indiana; near South Bend). Could you possibly direct me to some information about the programs mentioned? I am assuming that Wave is some type of computational fluid dynamics program and the other two...

    Volumetric Efficiency

    That is somewhat discouraging. It makes it sound like cam design is all art and no science. Are there listings anywhere that you know of that detail where to find shops with chassis dynos?

    Volumetric Efficiency

    This is kind of the direction that I am going in too. I have a specific motor that I am trying to fit a cam to, but I don't have access to an engine dyno or other high tech measuring equipment. Are there methods to compute the theoretical air flows through the engine to figure the peak...

    Inter-Battery Discharge

    Assume that we have two automotive starting type batteries, one discharged to 10.5V and the other fully charged at 12.5V. 2/0 type SGX cable is used to connect them to a three-way battery selector switch, 10-ft for each battery. If these two batteries are connected in parallel by the battery...
