Re: Bus steering wheels..

Do what? :o I dont think that is correct. The number of turns required to go from lock to lock is independent of the size of the steering wheel. You can even remove the steering wheel all...

Re: What's the minimum size generator I need to run a Carrier Ai

I run 2 roof top ac units off of a 4kw generator. When they kick on, there is a momentary drag on the genny then it recovers and goes on. I also run a 2000 watt inverter with it as well.

HTH.

Re: Increasing Horsepower

Look at it this way, at 18 mph it gives you time to look at the scenery. I know, thats not funny. Maybe this link will be what you are looking for.

Re: Stupid question ???

There may be a small roll pin that is pressed in there keeping it from coming apart. I have seen this on a few trucks that I have worked on.

Re: 1978 Bluebird bus conversion project for sale

You'll have to loof for the vehicles that carried the 454 in them, ie the surburbans, big pickups, larger 1 ton vans. Those kind would possibly have them in them.

Re: 1978 Bluebird bus conversion project for sale

Might as well since you arent trying to re-create the wheel. All you are doing is installing a newer tbi on an older engine. Code readers are easy to find and you can even hook up a laptop to it...

Re: 1978 Bluebird bus conversion project for sale

Sounds like someone needs to go junyarding and look for a 454 with the tbi and computer. Probably be alot cheaper than AFI.

Re: How did you guys install your roof vents ?

When I cut the hole in my roof for the AC unit I used a drill to mark the corners and tin snips to cut the sheetmetal with. They cut real easy and no noise or mess.
