    Buick 215 Trans bolt pattern

    I'm not positive, going from memory of a forum I attended 30 years ago that Steve Wittman put on at Oshkosh. He used that engine in one of his early homebuilt planes and had a torsional vibration problem. He ended up talking with engineers at GM and solved the problem. You might want to...

    When did the EAA become money grubbing bullies?

    First off, I'm very disappointed reading the newspaper article about EAA using eminent domain to grab land from from SOS. That should not be used for these types of situations, even if done under the guise of "they needed it for security purposes". Secondly, EAA suing SOS regarding shirt...
