???? Yeah I am a little that way ha ha ha

And today, I filled up at my usual spot for #3.49/gal before my 3 Cent/gal discount.

nuts

You need to remember your only looking at a tag on a rocker cover at this stage There is pretty simple injector pump and possible turbo changes to get what your chasing Pretty sure you can turn a Maxidyne into a Thermodyne but not the other way around Paul

I found an E6 350 4 valve for parts "nearby." Not real near but its not clear across the country. Broken crank. Can I use this to make my 300 a 350? Or is this an impossible question to answer?

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" I have heard that quoted about even on this side of the world Whether you like Trump or not, you have to admit he gets things done Paul

Change that to VA. and it would be accurate too.

A lot of interesting things here. Here's my few bits of wisdom I've learned. -Not all alternators will be damaged when reversing polarity. Only ones with build in rectifiers (diodes). Alternators with external rectifiers like the Leece Neville system on our '57 firetruck (B85F) should be ok. BUT, the rectifier will have to have the output wires switched (big sparks otherwise). If it is a "case grounded" rectifier, identified by only having one output wire, you would have to isolate the case to switch polarity. Our original Selenium rectifier and the new solid state one we now have, have isolated Pos & Neg outputs, so one output wire goes to ground. - Electric motors without permanent magnets use how the windings connect to the brushes and commutator that they rub against, to create the magnetic field to "pull" the rotor (spinning part) around. It uses the "Opposite poles attract" theory as a pull (or the "Like" poles repel as a push). So, it doesn't matter if the "Positive is pulling a Negative", or if the opposite happens and a "Negative pulls a Positive" . It is still pulling in a direction set by the windings. - Many older (non-solid state) voltage regulators work basically on a voltage "threshold" principle, where it looks at voltage level, not voltage polarity. There are theories to explain it, but simply, If the voltage is too low it sends more voltage to the field to create a higher output voltage. Once it get to the desired voltage ( the threshold) it holds the field steady. If the voltage goes past the threshold voltage it reduces the field down a little. All this is done at almost the speed of light.

Yes Brocky, I do know that, but how the hell are they getting away with it ? And then theres the idiots that support these loser Dem reporters.. anyway, I dont have any words of wisdom, Just sick of these idiots...

Jojo, The Dumbocrats have Trump Derangement Syndrome so BAD that they are going to fight EVERYTHING Trump does any way he tries to do it!!!!!!!!

I see them every day.. its a cultural thing here.. know what i mean ??

So the Dems on the news call President Trump a King and a tyrant for going after Iran... Now President Trump has called for cease fire during negotiations, and the same Dem News people are calling him a 'TACO' .. something like Trump Always Cowards Out... What the hell is wrong with these Dems..???

First time out this year, had to go get inspection stickers

That seamed to me to be an even handed look back, at least as far as the history as I remember it from living back then and from what I was taught about the "early days" of the Shah. Interesting to hear it from a prospective produced outside the US.

Just hit 11.38 US dollars a gallon in Ireland.Truckers/Farmers and Plant hire companys going broke daily.Massive protests in many parts of the country.All roads into the capital city,Dublin,are now blocked by trucks and farm equipment as well as other major citys and fuel import depots.Goverment acting like gombeens( Irish slang for fools).They are talking about calling out the army to move the blockades as towing companys have refused to get involved.The protesters have a lot of support from the people.Theres talk of civil war if the army is deployed.Interesting times here at the moment....
