a hambers websites list; or every site you need to know about

probably not; it's been 4 1/2 years since that was posted. most likely the website has changed or doesn't even exist any more. that's too bad, 'cause as i remember there were gross weights listed for lots of engines.

 

Hasty & atch:

I found an archive of that page:

http://web.archive.org/web/20080223...omputers.com/ford/ContentExpress20-30-38.html

Anytime you find a dead link, go to http://www.archive.org and paste the link th the "Wayback Machine" field near the middle of the page. It'll take you to a page where you can see how the page you searched for looked every month for like the past ten years! It's fun to see how your favorite sites looked when they were new, and useful (like in this case) for looking up "dead" links!

~Jason

 

thanx; i never heard of this. i'll be saving that link in my favorites for sure.

 

Thank you very much! Useful information, both on the engines and how to dig out old sites.
