    FireFox plus adblock rocks!

    I've been using FireFox for a long time now - less popups, less spyware, etc, etc. I've known about adblock for a long time, but I just installed it today. Holy crap, it makes the internet useable again! Check out the two screenshots below - which one would YOU like to use?

    What do you have - Hot Climate GTE fan or regular fan?

    Some time ago, IJ posted a picture of his new Auusie Hot Climate GTE fan, which at the time I thought would be a great idea. One recently came up for sale on Ebay, and I was considering bidding on it... then I decided to check mine first, and I already have it! So now I am wondering which is...

    Where does this ground wire go?

    Obviously, it's been a while since I took the baby apart. There is a groud wire the runs alongside the big starter lead, however, it doesn't appear to be long enough to reach the starter. Anyone know where this is supposed to be bolted to? Thanks in advance!

    Serenity

    Well, I liked this movie a LOT. Turns out I wasnt alone, either and this review pretty much pegs it. I guess just about everything I wanted to say, Orson Scott Card can say better. J http://www.hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/2005-09-30-extra.shtml I highly suggest everyone see this...

    How to retrieve hood bolts from inside body panels?

    :icon_evil I was spraying down the engine bay last night. The hood is off, and the bolts for said hood were just lying where the hinges are. Two of the litter buggers washed down the water drain inside the front fender. They did NOT wash out the bottom of the car. Any ideas how to...

    Green truck shifter gasket pics

    As I have my engine and tranny out at the moment, it was pretty easy to take some pics of the infamous truck shifter gasket. Anyone care to take these and do a short writeup for the FAQ section? I'm too damn tired...

    GrimJack's rebuild

    Or vent, if you prefer. ;) Last night I finished assembling the bottom end - with the exception of the rear main oil seal & assembly and the oilpan, I'll do those pretty much dead last - but before I remount the tranny, of course. I had already re-assembled the head previously, so now it's...

    What kind of rings to buy?

    Machine shop originally ordered Moly rings from Hastings. Unfortunately, the set they had 'in stock' is evidently incomplete, and it will be another 4 weeks before they can manufacture a new set. :( Machine shop cannot source another set of Moly rings. So... the choice then becomes either...

    Woot! Engine carnage!

    Well, after blowing out a head gasket from running 20psi on a 57trim, I finally tore down the block and took some photos of the carnage. One BHG, one missing #2 ringland, one fried #2 piston, and one roasted #5 rod bearing = cool carnage pics! :D PS: 56K will have time to order broadband...

    Remember - when pulling the engine, don't forget...

    Remember - when pulling the engine and tranny as a unit, don't forget to remove the shifter from inside the cabin. :icon_evil What a PITA. No permanent harm done, by the looks of things tho.

    SupraFest Results!

    No, I don't have my pics uploaded anywhere yet. Soon! I wasn't going to make it, but my roommate (Marty) convinced me to head up riding shotgun in his '91 Laser. I'm so glad he did, the trip was more fun than you can shake a stick at. Marty had a great time, he got to eat a whackload of...

    Well, I found the limit for a stock head gasket.

    20psi on a 57trim CT26 does not play well with others, unless they are entirely metal. 5 out of 6 of the cylinders had pushed the gasket out into the water jackets. Pushed enough pressure into the cooling system that it blew my rad hoses. Tore it down today, if I'm lucky I'll have it...

    Timing light isn't entirely regular...

    I haven't run into this before. My car seems to have picked up a bit of a stumble at idle. I figured it might be timing related, so I threw my light on there to check. It's an inductive pickup, which is new to me, my old light was one of the inline jobs. The issue is, that I don't appear...
