nobody want a bunch of retards texting into each other over their heads lol if it does get built expect only pilots to have them. Remember the avrocar. millions taken up front to develop the concept. none ever built. I think unless someone like Elon Musk puts their own money up to at least...

That P.O.S. obama banned lead mining in the us back in his last term. Currently all lead for batteries or anything else must come from recycling or foreign sources. it was a dirty deal as the lead mining areas are aboriginally contaminated with lead. the stuff was just laying on the ground all...

Maybe it was safer to let them talk on the phone instead fo them looking into their lap trying to hide their text from the cops

Just take that thing around past that and under there instead of over that and i think you've got it

My take on patina- if it's natural or happenstance i find it interesting If it''s manufactured- not so much I don't find artificial patina to be as interesting. i don't dislike it it's just simplisitic and sometimes stands out as overtly un-natural like you would see with a bad camo job.

Ask the doctor about serropeptase. it's a blood thinner AND an anzyme that breaks down dead protein. doesn't affect healthy tissue. helps dissolve fibroids, scars, damaged tissue etc... A nutritional supplement here in the states it is a prescription drug in europe. it's derived from the silk...

it's all in the approach.

TH350 has a 2:53 1st gear ratio and a 1:52 second... It makes the gear change from 1st to second by reversing the drum? So at a 3000 rpm launch the drum is rotating at 7590 rpm in one direction and has to reverse direction to 4560 rpm in the opposite direction to make the 1-2 shift That is an...

I'm not sure which 3 speed it has in it. it might have the weaker one (toploader) or it could have the sideloader T-10 predecessor with the larger overdrive unit. Unfortunately from what I saw when it was on the trailer I think it has the weaker trans. The more I think about it the more i think...

That was my contention. I like to take things all the way apart and cover all bases. I read theres a 4&1/8 stroke crank available but if it has the 4"crank i don't see 1/8" stroke as worth the expense. It has 6.5:1 compression so new heads are a mandatory I kinda like the factory carb and filter...

Thank's doc. it didnt look anything like a meteor to me. Pierre looked up the 50 year old title to come up with a new one. the owner said it was made in canada with the bigger engine but looks to me like a normal merc. owner also said he got 18 mpg with it which doesn't sound too bad. since...

cool Lil brother got the title in the mail. Seller has a 36 ford half ton he's digging out next year! Title says (year) 1951 (make) Mercury (model) Meteor Kinda wierd... I was expecting it to say 4 door sport sedan. The guy said it was originally bought in Minnisota and is a canadian...

4x4 van or Wonder what a ford clubwagon would look like dropped with a crown vic front suspension and lakepipes

When something goes wrong in a diesel often it can be catastrophic They are not as forgiving as a gas engine But they are fun to geek around with. it's a whole different animal.

You have to keep up the additives in your antifreeze. Diesels require nitrates in the antifreeze to prevent porosity. Porosity is when the sonic blast from the cylinder firing "rings" the cylinder. the shock wave causes nitrogen in the water to separate and the bubbles bore holes into the...

Alot of the Chevy or ford diesels you see for sale that don't run and crank over too easy have had catastrophic damage. When my injection pumps went out and burned the pistons i junked mine A lot of guys just throw them on craigslist and say they don't know what happened. If the guy put another...

never use starting fluid on a diesel with a pre warmer or glow plugs I've used a little (just a little) with the glow plugs disabled but your dancing with breaking a head bolt or loosing a gasket Avoid using it on any IDI diesel as it is hard on the prechamber cups and IDI engines run more...

If the spring or elastic in the stanadyne injection pump goes bad, the pump will overload the engine on fuel and melt a piston. There is something related to not power washing an engine running a stanadyne pump as water gets in somewhere causing the pump to fail in full rich mode. I don't...

Another issue with the IDI indirect injected diesels running the Stanadyne pump your mechanical fuel pump (lift pump) is an integral part of the fuel pump governing system As the engine speeds up, the mechanical pump puts out increasing pressure. The pressure from the lift pump modulates a...

11 mpg you might have had 4:56 gears or had your injector turned out too high. I put a naturally aspirated 1982 6.2 in an 86 c30 with a th400 and 4:11's. it was a 55 mph truck but it still got 18 mpg towing. I could have run the truck faster but at 55 i was at the peak of my advance and to go...
