Re: Cracked starter mount
Wow, great find - that's virtually identical to my situation!!! Even the clocking of the cracks is dead on! There are only three differences, none of which matter: 1. My block is not numbers matching 2. My block is a 454, not a 396 (both are big blocks) 3. My block is a 4-bolt main, not a 2-bolt main

Re: electrical plug question - newbie
I think I'd install another receptacle so I could leave both my compressor and my welder plugged in all the time

Re: 16 ga Stainless outside corner
I have zero experience with TIG, but I'd be curious to see what happens if you turn up the argon some and/or use a chill block.

Re: Cracked starter mount
Thanks for the additional info, Fleet. I think we've both decided to do essentially the same thing. I emailed Crown Alloys to see what they recommended, and after clarifying a couple things with them, I had my LWS order me a pound of Crown's Royal 260 rod in 3/32" diameter. As far as I can tell...

Cracked starter mount
Hi guys, I have a big block Chevy with two cracks at the outer bolt hole of the starter mounting ear. Here are a few pics. (Note that the cracks go farther than it appears in the pics.) https://i.imgur.com/E73e1uD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ehxF4Ke.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DhvL8qL.jpg The block is at th...

Re: Very small mig weld help
How long is your stickout, and what settings are you using? What shielding gas, and what flow rate?
If you don't want to cut up your nozzle, you might get away with turning up the voltage. Check out this video for an extreme example of long stickout:

Hi from Michigan
Hi, everyone! I have no formal welding training, but I'm a car guy and it's very useful to be able to weld things. I've had my MIG welder for years, but I just picked up the buzz box a couple weeks ago, so I'm looking forward to learning that process as soon as I can find some time. I've been a long...
