Have You Ever?????
L561W replied to Nightshade's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
I've never given money to a panhandler. But once upon a time I went to the mall and ordered a whole pizza with my boys and we only ate half so on the way home we gave it to a panhandler. He seemed to appreciate it and about 10 minutes later i saw him sitting in the shade sharing with other bums. -
Added some 17x8 inch KMC Stealths that I scored off of craigslist. I'm not sure I'm gonna like the front tire, because of the gap but we will see once the engine is back in. I also dropped the engine off at the shop Monday. I'm having the bottom end built simply because I don't have the tools to install the pistons on the rods. Before... After... And since I have the original Rally wheels off now, I'm gonna take the tires off of em and sand blast em so they can be repainted. That way I'll have the option of running the stockers or KMCs.

I wouldn't go 3".. That's loud, even for my standards. I'd go 2.5" true duals all the way back from the exhaust manifolds. Flowmaster makes some nice mufflers that are real mellow in the lower RPM range but get plenty loud when you step on it. Just check out their website. Borla and Dynomax make some nice mufflers too but nothing that I've owned so I can't comment. And I wouldn't expect too much out of a 307 Olds. If anything save up and swap in a 350 Rocket engine or at least look into it. I think it'd be cheaper to make the same power in the long run.

Changing your idle RPM ?
L561W replied to Texas Tech's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
I would just go with an aftermarket tach. Most of the time it's only 4 wire hookup. Sometimes an adaptor(never dealt with that personally) Just make sure you find the right signal wire from the engine to tachometer -
It's got a 350 chevy small block from '78. It's a truck block with 4 bolt mains. I have the original numbers matching engine but I don't have the money to build a pontiac engine with the power and reliability I want. The tranny is a TH350 auto with a shift kit but I want either a 2004R or convert to 5 speed manual. Thanks for all the compliments everyone

So I've had this car for years. Literally. Been working on it off and on, and driving it off and on. I'm currently building a 350 SBC for it. Already have the Comp Cams valvetrain(268H cam, 1.5 roller rockers etc etc) dual plane intake, 650CFM carb, 1800 RPM torque converter, hedman headers w/ true dual 2.5 inch exhaust. Probably going to be adding a V-Matic Hurst slap shifter and replace the Sunpro gauges with AutoMeter SportComp 2 5/8" units. The interior(Blazer buckets replaced the worn out stockers) The floor cut out before welding New floor and seat pan welded in, sprayed with bed-liner coating What the engine looked like. It was okay. Driving down the road. I'm missing this view right now. Well those pics above are from February of '08. I drove it like that for about 8 months until I was being a "showoff" and going about 130ish for a couple minutes and broke a ring on the #5 cylinder. I parked it from October '08 until about two months ago when I moved it to my in-laws garage to start the tear down.. again. The first time it ran in almost a year... All I had to do was charge the battery and put a lil gas in the carburetor At the in-laws Tearing it down. You can see the #5 piston in this pic. It's kinda chewed up on the face Intake manifold repainted Got bored and tinted the windows 5%. IDK if I like it. Building a center console. IDK if I really like it. I didn't want to do anything out of 'glass but now I'm rethinking that. We'll see once I get the shifter in. Well as it sits now I just need to take out two transmission bolts, and remove the radiator to get it out but I'm having trouble getting anyone to come assist with muscling the hoist around and take the engine out with me but hopefully it will be out and at the machine shop before I leave for Las Vegas next Saturday. Feel free to comment and/or ask questions

Help With Music/itunes?
L561W replied to bossgator's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
When you download the song, are you clicking "download" or "open file" when the box pops up? You might be clicking "open" and it just plays the song from a temp folder -
Does anyone know of a good FLV converter? To convert downloaded YouTube videos to MPG or AVI or WMV formats? I tried "Free FLV converter" but after converting a few vids it bugs out everytime. Free or cheap is much preferred. Thanks in advance

shits crazy yo. lightning aint no joke -
I guess I'm not doing too bad I actually had to make a couple of "Smart" playlists that contain anything I haven't listened to in over 3 months, that way I don't forget about some of it.

I read awhile back that when using any kind of toggle switch on the remote lead you need to have a relay in the line somewhere to keep from frying the wire to the HU
