rapp, rappp.... rappp goes a Thompson on Auto...The Navy's CWIS is a six barreled Gatlon gun that fires 20mm projectiles at 7000 rounds a minute. It's is an anti air craft and an anti missile defense weapon. In
other words.
It shoots real fast!
chipper is my go-to guy for saws on the kitchen counter!!!You and chipper have the same countertops
How did the 85 T bird run with the 4 banger 2300?I never had 4 at the same time, but often 2 or 3 at a time, and the current one is #10.
I had 3 classic Mustangs when I got married the first time. Two 68 Fastback GTs and the 70 Boss 302 body. One of the 68s had a 302 4 bbl and was my economy car (got 18 MPG) and the other was a factory 428 CJ with the 4:30 drag pack option. (Very rare, worth lots of money now). I never rebuilt the 428 and both my 427 and my 390 GT were much faster than it, even w/o the gears.
My X got us in charge card debt and I had to sell the Mustangs and I purchased a 1980 Pinto Station Wagon that I used to bring home wood to heat the house. After I began to recover financially, I had an 85 T-Bird Turbo Coupe and an 85 Mustang GT. After that a 92 T-Bird Super Coupe, a 2000 Mustang GT then my current 2006 Mustang GT. Also had a couple of Rangers along the way. First year they were out I got a 4 cyl 4 speed 2wd w/standard cab (that was all they made at the time) and later got a V6 5 speed extended cab 4WD one. Also had a couple of Explorers over the years, the first one was by far the best. Bought it used and could not kill it. The 2nd one I bought new, and it had perpetual problems. Every 6,000 miles, it needed a new plug on #4 (plus other problems). Ford always said they fixed it, but never did.
Getting up to my property with the 2wd Ranger in the snow involved installing chains and driving recklessly, but I always managed to make it up the hill (just not always on the first attempt). You do what you have to do, and hope you survive it!
My current F-150 goes up so effortlessly with the Blizzacks that I pinch myself!
When I rebuild the engine on the suburban I couldn’t believe the sludge build up in that engine. Part of the reason the head gasket project turned into a full rebuild.drained that oil in Moar Project. total pita! never worked on such a POS as that machine. oh well... it is coming around. the dipstick was the clean oil! never seen such black oil come out of a mower engine before! takes the cake... film at 11.
this was the clean oil... topside where the dip stick dipped into it

My hauler and skidder was a 1979 Subaru wagon with on the fly 4wd and low range, No tailgate and a big hook bolted to the frame in the rear, Never thought of tire chains though!Not sure why Mike but I Stihl have the chains for my 74 Pinto wagon. Hauled a lot of wood in that thing.
Great! At about 260,000 miles he gave it to his 16 year old nephew…..How did the 85 T bird run with the 4 banger 2300?
AM parts have allowed us to bring lots of good saws back to life that would have been unaffordable with OEM parts. For me, I mostly work on 044/440, 046/460 and 066/660 saws. Meteor pistons work as good as OEM and are often half the price, AM tank holders and recoils are far less than half of OEM, you just need to know what OEM parts to use with them and how to make them reliable. And, all the plastic covers work and are cheap (with some modifications here and there). I have also had good results with AM coils, but mixed results with AM carbs. I rebuild the OEM carbs whenever possible, and even bought some new OEM when I find an OK price for my higer "performance" builds.Man! Some of you guys will get every last stroke out of a saw hu?
Ten jugs, twenty pistons, seven gas tanks, three fly wheels, but them wraps thar? Them's original serial number! Yes sir!
Good on ya!
OK, so you and @Cowboy254 just need to answer a few basic questions:I wasn't keeping up since last May or so
Yes it does . It's basically the same 350 motor that's in my 72. The later 4.8 ,5.3 and 6.0 LS motors dont have cap and rotorsI don’t believe that model had cap and rotor.
I owned 5 Avantis at one time all running and driving and 2 parts cars . But I've owned at least 20 others too . Pretty high percentage of all Studebaker Avantis built . They built a little over 5k of themI never had 4 at the same time, but often 2 or 3 at a time, and the current one is #10.

no doubt about is Shooter - some real nasty stuff over in the engine cleanout gunk barrel!! ~When I rebuild the engine on the suburban I couldn’t believe the sludge build up in that engine. Part of the reason the head gasket project turned into a full rebuild.
We were kerfuffled more than once by moderators. Somebody with more brains than me asked to have the name change to include basically everything and we have been kerfuffle free ever since. At ease, carry on, smoke em if u got em. Oh and glad ur back.Ahhhh...now I can rest. My eyes and brain hurt from reading this thread quickly. I started reading the posts from the beginning of December. When did the thread title change? Was there a kerfuffle about how we didn't stay on topic? I wasn't keeping up since last May or so. Anyways, good to see all the usual suspects and welcome to the newbies. Off to put some time on the MS400.
