Those idiots keep thinking that they need to bury a new line... Every time I've called them in the last 4 weeks they keep telling me that they need to bury a new cable... It's been buried going on 4 weeks now - I've told them that for the last 4 weeks.... :mad: :BangHead:

I've tried to be patient with them, but last weekend on my birthday after getting blown off twice by supervisors/managers that were too busy when I called and were supposed to call back and didn't, I called and asked to talk to one... They had me on the phone for an hour (literally), so I unloaded on the grunt phone operator when he told me that they needed to bury a new cable and had to get permission from the village to do that... I had to scream at him and tell him that the cable is already buried, you just need to send a guy to crimp a fitting on each end and connect the damn thing!!! :mad:

This week - no connect... So I called again yesterday and demanded a time and date for a tech to come out... They finally gave me an appointment for Monday between 8 and 11 AM.... :wtf:

Verizon gave me an appointment to come out Tuesday :BangHead:

We had a TON of iron in ours. The water softeners helped but while it was well below the “safe line”, it’d still tastes like metal. Ended up installing a reverse osmosis system for about 100 bucks, virtually eliminated all the remaining iron and other contents. Well worth it. I don’t know if it’d work on arsenic or not though

I have a reverse osmosis system now, just now a whole house system. Yes, works for arsenic too. Thanks Chris

I see, well, pizza is good too. You could still have a lefse for coffee on sarurday. :)

Is it still common in the mid West to have fried haddock on Fridays ?

Friday Fish fry is still alive and well here in WI. I prefer perch or blue gill if they have it.
 
Yep that o crap moment when cold assembly lube gives you a heart attack. Tried to turn the crank this morning and it wouldnt go. Untorqued and it turned, 60ftlbs turned, 85ftlbs it turned, 105ftlbs back to normal so in goes the pistons.
 
I have just bought AEA tune up chart for my car, and there is a lot of them out there right now. Just go to ebay, and type in, 1965 Dodge tune up chart, for example, or whatever year or car you have.

I love Lefse....warm with a bit of butter and sugar sprinkled on - makes a great snack. Now i am hungry...

The common thing in Norway is to let the butter get a bit soft, then add both sugar and cinnamon and mix it and spread it on the lefse, and put another on top and then cut it in pieces.

Yum yum... :D

I installed an Erson cam in a daily driver 318, it had too much advertised duration for the given duration @ .050"... It had no power and fell on it's face when accelerating...

I took it out and never ran that cam again...

Have you ever tried a Crover cam, the one with the least duration for good trottle response ?

Will have to try the cinnamon to it. Now, just make it hot, butter, sugar and roll it up....thanks

Where did you live in WI? When was that?
Click to expand...

I have never lived in Wisconsin, but I bought a 1965 Ford Galaxie 4 door sedan from there in 2003, and in 2004 I went there to visit the guy and go to the All Ford Nationals in Carlisle, and then up to Detroit and the Henry Ford museum, and that was just when Ronald Reagan was buried. So we stayed at a friend of my friends house there watching the funeral, he had been a developing engineer for Ford for some 35 years. Interesting guy. He was heavily into 1966 Ford 7 litres. My friend lived in Franklin, outside Milwaukee, and his mom and sister w/family lived at Lake Tichigan, not so far away.

I agree it looks like that - but really don't know until we know where the advertised comes from, and how the ramps are shaped.
That what Wyrmrider is often posting about.
And why we can't measure the Chrysler durations because they're done on the drawings - but we were able to makes some estimates that made the Dynomation results line up much closer to known dyno curves.

We could stick them in an engine and degree them to see their ramps...

I forgot to turn the pot on.

You'll need a lighter for that....

I wonder if the Erson adv durations were measured at .008?

Or Less LOL It goes to show, you need to look at both numbers and not just the .050 spec. "114°, ya that will be perfect in a 318" :BangHead::BangHead:

When I degree my cams, I measure at .001", .010", .050", .100", .150", .200", .250", .250", .300", .350", .400", ... Max lift range, .400", .350", .300", .250", .200", .150", .100", .050", .010", .001"....

That way I can see how fast the valve lifts... The reading at .001" is usually tricky as it is slower at that time and can be .001" for two or three degrees, so I try to get it as soon as it starts...

But as long as you measure them using the same procedure, then you can compare them more accurately...

114° is good for lobe separation on a street engine...

The larger the lobe separation, the less overlap and more cylinder pressure (good for lower compression engines)... Lower lobe separation (110°, 108° etc) gives more overlap and less cylinder pressure (good for higher compression or high RPM engines)....

Lobe separation is how many degrees between max intake and max exhaust lobe lifts.... Or how many degrees between intake lobe center line and exhaust lobe center line...

Lobe separation directly affects overlap... If they don't specify overlap, you can calculate it using both lobe center lines, or using intake center line and lobe separation..
