so.. there is no need to adjust somehow the hairpin match as well?

did some testing on chokes done this way. the cross over and reverse of windings lowers the choking ability. Best cmc choking was on a 240-31 core with 11 turns all one way gave the best cmc resistance from 1.8 Mhz up above 54Mhz.

I have a 2700 that worked good. I changed my timing chain on my 1982 E150 351 Windsor and it runs good until it gets to 3rd gear at 46 mph, then bogs down badly until it gets down to about 35 mph. I messed with all carb adjustments and it still bogs down. Any ideas what I can adjust?

Is there a reason why you couldnt use the bare copper ground wire in the 14 wire

Ordered 2 from PE. Thought I'd put away a spare. Nice work! Ever seen a solution to keeping the speaker mounted permanently so it is not a lift off to remove?

I had one of these on a 351w. Loved it.

The average person like myself isn't going to buy a Meter just for a single antenna installation. Great video otherwise. I'm looking to install a simple base antenna for my HT GMRS radios to use once in a while.

Thanks for the video! Not much info out there on these so very helpful! I have one on a pinto engine in a kit car I inherited from my grandfather. It seems to be running ok except sometimes on acceleration the rpms will drop from say 1000 to 300, almost dying but usually coming back up to normal shortly after and accelerating fine. Any idea if that sounds like an issue cause by this carb?

These are very cool. I have been playing around with the idea of finding me a bronco 2 and building me a off-road toy out of it and if I do I will definitely be incorporating something along the lines of these in thanks for the idea

THANKS !! LEARED A LOT ! BEEN BUYING THESE UP AT HAMFESTS.

Hi Rick. I bought the same Eling speedometer for my old Honda motorcycle (parts no longer available) and I'm going over the instructions provided and they refer to the trips and COG. Can you tell me what COG means? I really like your instructional video on installing your speedo in your Bronco. Quite informative.

Thanks for the video. Im running one of these on a 460. I've got 67/73 jets in there and a 6.5 power valve. Is there anything I should change here? Maybe bigger jets, and a 8.5/9.0 power valve? I have 19 hg. Should I up the pump cam from green to a bigger one? What about the boosters? Im not getting a 750 or bigger carb. Thanks

It also takes longer for a speaker to burn in / wear in with just voices.a long time. You can always pump some music through them for a few hours. Peace

That’s annoying

I have the yaesu ft500 and not impressed with the aess sound. I think your speaker sounded better with the stuffing. It got rid of the echo. Try Heil's parabolic equalizer might sound better.

Yes had one back in the day was a moonraker 6

The elements Yaesu put in all their modern external speakers are pants, I modified a 991a ext speaker and I about to mod my 710 now.

I know this is a old video, but my 89 bronco i bought recently has this carburetor. Cleaning it out and trying to adjust the lean mixture. But knob wont turn?

I cut 18 cm off the antenna, 467 MHZ will have a lower SWR, but 444 MHZ will have a higher SWR. That's a nice, happy middle ground of 1.5 SWR.

I have coroola 1992 model ae101 . Ac was r12 . I just change the compressor with 134a compressor. condenser bottle change . Rest same setup but i clean line . Car doesn’t cool that muah in summer ar day time when specially ideal speed . Can u tell dis i did right . Or what else parts i need to change as well?

Thank you for this excellent and informative video..73 from UK..John

What were your final measurements on the antenna

If I was to use 12 gauge wire to build it with would that change the measurements any. Reason I ask is because I have some 12/2 left over from a addition I just got done with

Stuffed sounds 100 percent better

Great video, I'm going out to buy PVC now.

Hello Rick, 1.5" is inside or outside diameter? and which type of RG58 did you use?

Making the trap and exposing the second part of the shield , you can compress it, when the shield fattens you can insert a small screwdriver or forceps or pick on the side of the shield close to the jacket and inserting this tool about a 1cm or so, then start separating the mesh of the screens revealing the underneath polypropylene central tubing/wire and loop it out making a neat shield and central tube/wire separation

Making a physical connection to the trap you add capacitance and lower the frequency. A loop only couples the magnetic field . No connection no extra capacitance.

I use 10ga. And 12ga. Just have to shave a bit in length as diameter increases, the length shortens. Copper pipe jpole is 2" shorter than speaker or house wire.

They are fantastic for the purpose. Handheld at home antenna. 10W is about all you can use. No more!

Will 18 gauge wire work for this project? I have 500 ft and want to see if it will work! ;)

Great info

Hello sir. I have a 1999 model car that has r12 gas for ac. But today we have only r134. Is there any possible

The antenna will have more gain at the horizon with a 1/2 wave upper elementwithout the cap hat!

Wonder how hard it would be to convert this into dual band?

The Hub where the rods screw into is prone to damage and will have to be rebuilt every 3-4 years.

Hi. Since you already modeled that antenna for 2m can you please model the original 11m to see the radiation patern? It would help a lot. 73 CT1DYT

Very interesting concept. I use Hustlers and have since 1968. I agree with the center loading 100%. One note is my Hustler mast covers 6 meters. I have rarely used six meters but I have resonators for all bands. I will try the parallel coin trick that might be great for POTA operations. Most of the time I am parked when operating. I wonder if you have tried two hustler 54 inch masts to get the length below the coil to 108 inches? I did that once and don’t think I even had to retune the resonator. I have been planning to try that again. 73, N4DJ

It’s a good video I would have liked to see where you can rob power from the harness since I’m not I don’t wanna risk trying to use a solder gun

Alright, I found a video of the FT-710 and SP-2000 :-) I think that's the winning combo for me. I do like your modification though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ2anHafmZKgidUsi=QS1F5GkHAsl1gnIb

Thanks for sharing, your modification sounds better. I think for me, I'll just purchase the field version and use that $100 savings towards a Yaesu SP-2000 which costs $219. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gny4dXlopt-FbKMsi=EGH5RCMms4WFTfTv&t=102

I think drilling the holes improved it!, at least that's what it sounds like on my end.

You never reviewed the receiver sound settings, has other sound settings besides what you covered.

Just built this, I set my goal for 146.000, center of the 2m band. I got 1.02 :1 SWR according to my Nano VNA. At 144 I got 1.4:1, at 148 I got 1.6:1. Look below for demensions. I am American but got tired of converting metric to inches so I just went to Lowe's and bought a tape measure that measures standard and metric. My exact measurements were: long leg 145.7 cm , short leg 47.6 cm, feed point 4.9 cm, the gap between short and long leg was 2cm. Pro tip mentioned by someone else was, to straighten your wire before you start, put one end in a vice the other in a drill and hit it, it twists it and makes it incredibly straight.

Similar arrangement ought to work for 2m/70cm, adjusted for wavelength. Thanks for the explanation on the air choke. 73 Ed KK7SAB

I have a Question -- once the Antenna is completed and the Cable is plugged into the SO-259 on the Antenna, will doing a test on the opposite end of the Cable with a Continuity Test show a Short??

Which is better jpole or di pole sir for 2M?

Thank you for your excellent video. However, I have measured carefully and built this antenna 4x now and cannot get good SWR (3+:1). I am using 13' of RG-58 and a HT radio. My thought was I could hoist it up a tree at camp. Any thoughts as to why this isn't working for me? I get longer measurements when I use online calculators.... using VF = .96. Thanks in advance for your consideration! PS--Menards carries the 200 psi PVC...... Home Depot did not.

does the thickness or gauge of wire matter,would thicker wire work better say 4 or 8 awg

good vedio! My problem is why the Japanese offroad car, lc300 or lc200 still use clutch fans？
