Turbine application?

A good automotive speedometer shop that can make you a cable for that to connect to a Corvette or MSD distributor. A couple years back, I had a custom length cable made up with special ends for my application by a shop named California Speedometer Repair/Service . . . something like that. The fellow was pretty sharp with this stuff. Send him a picture of the ends you need and the length and he custom makes them up for a reasonable price.

Thanks Mark! I figured there would be a way to hook it up.

These guys should be able to help out.

Every time you pick up something that you don't understand, you post a thread asking exactly what it is and what it's worth. Then by majic, it appears on ebay for sale. Maybe you should consider sending some sort of payment via percentage to the people who have helped you properly describe the item you are selling.
You are not the only one on this site who does that. And you are not the only one on this site who just uses it to sell parts. I think this site should be a better place for people with interests in these Super Cars to congregate and share information about them. I don't think this site should be a home base for parts flippers who use the experience of the members to help them make a profit.

I don't know if there's a way for Charley to control that, but it sure would be nice to see the "users" of this site just go away and leave it to the real car people who are here. There really should be a way to separate your kind from the rest who have a real interest in these cars other than what they can make by selling parts.

Thanks Sam. I will check into getting it setup if I end up keeping it. I am the everything is for sale type of person so I tossed it up on eBay with a significant reserve to see if anyone wants it more that me. I planned to have it start on Thursday so I could have a bit more time to figure out it original application but muffed it up somehow and started it in the middle of the day today.

Thanks again,

Jason

Nuff said! Thanks for proving my point!

Wow, I did not realize I was ruffling any feathers. I do post a lot of parts here and do ask a lot of questions. Most of the parts I post are in the for sale section. The others I post because I think people would be interested in seeing them and I was not able to find any info posted on the web about the specific part. Yes, they likely will be for sale eventually but that is not the intent of the post.

If noone is interested in seeing the parts I post I simply will not post them. It takes quite a bit of time to take pictures, upload them to photobucket, then post them here. Yes, many times I post the parts I am selling here for sale. Rarely is a buyer or bidder a member. I thought this was a club where we share things and learn.

I have been a member here since 2001 and have almost 4000 posts. If my posts are not welcome here I will be hurt and simply will not post as often. I spend a lot of time here reading and learning. I thought I was reciprocating by posting so others could do the same. Maybe that is not the case.

Verne,

The guys on here who sell some parts usually help the people who are building or restoring their vehicles. They also contribute to discussions on part number help, parts identification, finding hidden supercars and projects, and uncovering vehicle history and past ownership. Without parts guys, there would be a lot of unfinished vehicles out there missing quite a few hard to find parts that were thrown away or went missing many years ago by past owners.

Do lots of other people feel the same way that Verne does? I have been posting here for years thinking my posts were interesting and informative(for sale postings aside). Now I am questioning if that is the case at all.
