I was in the Navy, from '87 to '91, in San Diego, at North Island. The Coronado Bay bridge is a tall sucker, and attracts about one suicide a...
I've had one battery explosion in my life. Was working in the used car reconditioning area of a local dealer, and got the task of helping the...
Now this, I like. Thicker than grease, so won't squirt and spatter back out the clearance between the pilot ID and the driver, reusable, and...
OK......you dropped bigger valves in it. Was any port work done? (i.e. bowl cleanup, enlarging, etc.?) I know that the walls between the water...
How long ago was this? There's a pair of "electricians" that aren't worth their title. There's a section in the NEC specifically for medical...
And you don't compromise the security of your charge accounts by sharing the account number with some entity that may, or may not be, secure....
How about a cruise control bellow from a 70's vintage car? Engineered to hold against throttle return spring pressure, and is linear in design....
YES! There's a number of hidden, and not-so-hidden things you can do to prevent the casual car thief from snagging your ride. Adding what you...
John; I have no problems buying hand tools and tool boxes from Harbor Freight. I'll even get their low end angle grinders and mechanic's gloves....
Good-lookin' fenders! Thanks for the link, Phil. Took me a bit to find the ribbed fenders, but find them I did. Maybe a little pricey, but I'm a...
Maybe a "log roll" exit for the truck? Roger
Is it your modules that keep failing? That's a common problem faced by a lot of the HEI swaps over on the slantsix board, too. Seems like it...
Just to clarify something. Modern electronics use the "negative switching" technique because the ECU's and computers really like their grounding,...
Well, ya know......every once-in-a-while I can still surprise folks. Roger.....tryin' to stay humble
Prayin' for rain in Cali. 'Luck.....Roger
Seconded on the bolt-on "extension" of the original mounting points. You do still need to lower or shorten the radiator to keep the lines right,...
Three days ago, I got a message from a friend that Mississippi Mayhem has been canceled for this year. It appears to be a Facebook posting, and I...
You misunderstood my comments. Ask about the pacemaker's abilities from the pacemaker manufacturer. Make sure the pacemaker manufacturer knows...
Don makes a very good point here. I always said, as an industrial maintenance tech, that if man can build it, it will break. Your pacemaker may...
Can you use a couple temporary studs to get things aligned and loosely assembled, then screw in your bolts, remove the temporary studs, and...
Ain't that the old pic of the cow, in a field, in a blinding snowstorm? Roger
Well, this sure seems to be rolling downhill. Sorry I started this shirtstorm, folks. Roger
I chose not to go this year, but did have a few friends show up, and they say it was about 75% full at the fairgrounds. I thought I'd start this...
Not me, but Moriarty's score. I seem to remember an old, rusty lawnmower at the Cedar Rapids swap. Sorry, big guy.....just had to bring it...
Hmmmm. If he was using the vibrating tumbler as a "burnisher", might he have been using the blast cabinet as a shot blaster, using the steel BB's...
Plain, old, light bulb placed on the bore. Or you could get really lucky, like I did years ago, and get a real bearing heater at an auction for...
For me, it's usually the constant whine in my right ear, that no one else can hear, or my own voice asking me what the hell I was doing, or where...
Uh-HUH! So, you've come out of the grocery store too, and looked around, thinking to yourself, where the hell did I park it? Yep, and it was...
Was a good option, available only in '61 & '62. Mopar came out with it to compete in the then-new "Compact" Nascar class. The class was created...
You've been mis-informed. The last year was '87. '81 or'82 was the last year for a slant in cars. Pickups and vans got the slant until '87....
