Thanks for the input guys. Portofino, your photos show a particularly bad outcome. I talked to a couple of powder coaters, including one that just...

Steve, for my 3.4L restomod, the charcoal canister and vapor recovery systems are gone. I was considering just capping the 3 vents on the...
It's ok to splice tc's, but best to keep both joints the same temperature when in use for minimal error. I built a 48 channel piece of test gear...
