Of course I see that. That's what I've said in every one of my answers.

$8.333... I'm not arguing with any of your maths. It's correct. I'm answering the brain teaser's incorrect question in a way that (hopefully) makes sense to the average guy in the street.

I understand the maths, but the question being asked is wrong. It says they paid 3 x $9 = $27. What, for a $25 sweater? Then tries to add on the $2 "change" to get to $29. In the real world, not with any decimals, there were 3 x $10 bills at the start. Then there was $5 in change. $1 for each...

I hate these types of brain teasers. It's creating a problem that isn't really there. The $2 change should be deducted from the $27 as they are paying $25. Not added to the fictional $27. If they each paid $9 they would each be overpaying by $0.67. To simplify it imagine the eldest son got the...

Wouldn't the trick be knowing how a tree grows i.e. does it grow overall or only at the top? Personally I don't know, but if I was to guess, the barbed wire wouldn't change height at all.

Oh, ok, silly me.

Maybe because the guy, the Vega, the whole situation is just made up?

The timing doesn't "go away" when you crack the throttle. Yes it reduces from how much you had at idle, but only to how much you would have with ported e.g. Manifold V/A 800 rpm - 30 degrees 1200 rpm - 25 degrees Ported V/A 800 rpm - 0 degrees 1200 rpm - 25 degrees I've made up the above...

Looking at the prices, apart from the plug wires (and if you want black then blue is obviously no good so you have to pay the extra), Mancini's prices look pretty good. Imagine you were just buying a Coil Bracket. $21 Mancini vs $40 Summit. The shipping then evens everything out. I think...

Ok that's great, but what would the total be for the same parts from Summit incl the Free Shipping? Apples to Apples comparison. $312.78 from Mancini ??? from Summit

Understood, but what is the total order cost between Mancini and Summit as a comparison? Mancini: Parts plus $38 postage Summit: Parts incl Free Shipping Only then can you know if you've been ripped off.

As much as it sounds like you got shafted, the shipping is NOT comparable to getting an online quote. The whole process of buying a box, buying the soft padding that goes inside (unless it's shredded paper), getting the labels printed, potentially driving to the post office (unless it's...

His calcs are in 1st gear so his maths are probably correct. To the OP - I actually do understand what you are saying and it is interesting.

I call bullshit on "I haven't read every post". You somehow missed post 6, 8 & 13 which were referencing looking down the hole or pulling the intake but did read Post 16 and could reply to that? So because you "haven't read every post" you can just repeat some advice that others have given...

Check the transmission fluid hot in Neutral with the engine idling. The reading you get cold will be incorrect. Go through each gear at idle first (with your foot on the brake) then back to neutral (put the parking brake on). Fill the transmission fluid (if it needs any) through the transmission...
