    Eastwood Powdercoat Gun

    I picked me up a Powder coat gun and a sandblasting cabnet this weekend. I've powder coated before. I've powder coated a Compact C4 metallic blue when I was in shop class. I have a few more machines I want to do this way like my Electrolux Model L that the paint is in terrible shape on. I think...

    5.8 Windsor or 7.5 liter 460 Ford engines

    Unrelated... I don't know a lot about the Ford motors as I've been around Chevys my entire life. I always find myself going back to the tried and true 5.7L small block. I went with another Vortec 5.7L in my 1997 Silverado 2500 instead of a 7.4L

    5.8 Windsor or 7.5 liter 460 Ford engines

    I'm thinking the 460. I'm thinking about going with one when I replace the motor in my 1974 Ford F250 Camper Special to replace the factory 5.9L 360 that is currently in it. Or I'm going to find 390 to stash in there.

    Favorite Electrolux PN?

    Mine is the PN4. I started pairing it with my 2100 since my PN6's motor burned up. What is y'alls?

    What's with the video ads?

    I've noticed the past few days that if there is a video ad that when it starts playing it pulls the page down to it and when I try to scroll away it'll pull back to the ad. It some times plays two or three so I'm stuck there on the ad and it is very irritating that it'll do it while I'm trying...

    Time to get another Fantom Cyclone XT I guess!

    I have the Westinghouse version of the Cyclone XT except it's got a single cyclone. I think it has a good motor but I'm not %100 for sure. If it is I can send you the motor.

    Ever repaired vacuums for local businesses?

    They did. I still do follow ups on all repairs I've done and they keep telling people about what I do. :)

    Fantom Motor Question

    My NOS motor showed up today, but it's out of a 12 Amp model. The wiring config is different on the new one too. I don't know where I'd put my yellow wire. Is this just a two wire motor?

    Update on the eBay found Fantom Thunder

    The Thunder arrived today to discover to my shock that someone sucked up water with it as there was mud in the bottom of the dirt cup, it came apart and went in to my trusty Kitchenaid Dishwasher that's used as a parts washer. The motor spins freely and I don't believe water had gotten to it...
