The Boone family became the first family in baseball history to send three generations to the major league All-Star Game (grandfather, Ray, and father, Bob).

After the 1978 season, the Trojans went through a drought and did not return to Omaha until 1995, when Troy reached the national championship game. Since 1995, the Trojans have made four trips to Omaha (1995-1998-2000-2001), winning their 12th CWS title in 1998. USC has the second-most wins (74) at the CWS and is tied for third for most appearances (21).
TROJAN BASEBALL HALL OF FAME -- On Feb. 1, 2003, the USC Baseball Hall of Fame opened to the public for the first time. The Hall of Fame was the final part of a $4 million Dedeaux Field renovation project that included a new locker room, seating pavilion on the first base side and stadium seating. All 12 national championship trophies are permanently displayed as well as the awards won by former Trojan pitcher Mark Prior during his 2001 national player of the year season. Prior made a sizable donation to help complete the project. The major league uniforms of former Trojans are also on display.
THE "OTHER" HALLS OF FAME -- Former USC pitcher Tom Seaver was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992 with a 98.8% vote, which remains the highest percentage ever for an inducted member. In the summer of 2006, legendary coach Rod Dedeaux (who passed away on January 5, 2006) was a member of the inaugural class for the College Baseball Hall of Fame in Lubbock, Texas. Another USC addition was made in 2007 when former outfielder Fred Lynn is inducted. He appeared on three consecutive USC national championship squads (1971, 1972 and 1973) and had a career .320 average with 28 home runs and 111 RBI. He also earned 1971 All-College World Series honors for the Trojans.

Hey guys!
Ok, so After I signed up and got ever so slightly involved in posting and such, I vanished a bit and I'm now eagerly awaiting my complete Fett from Bobamaker (holy cow his stuff is insane!) to go with my complete Vader and eventual application into the 501st for both...and the whole time I've been lurking, reading and learning and being outright amazed by the work you all do. So my wife had hit me with a suggestion. That I try my hand at making custom items of my own for myself and my wife & kids who are also really into the idea of costuming. Now, doing Star Wars related or any other IP related things isn't my goal at all, as I've always been interested in doing my own original types of things.
So I thought that I would hit you guys up in this section for a few quick, general questions so I know where I should be looking in terms of a direction for my goal.
I want to learn how to make fiberglass armor and helms, foam weapons, and latex masks - all my own work from my own noggin. So my question to you all is this....what type of clay do you all suggest I go with to do these things? I have read up and researched to hell how to make silicone molds with a fiberglass support "casing", I've researched on about pulling from molds, how to use the molds, even the coating, but I have yet to really nail down the best type of clay to use to begin this whole process of creating. Through this site and the sticky thread, I have come across two places that seem to be the best : http://www.smooth-on.com/ and what I think seems to be REALLY close to the mark : http://www.monstermakers.com/product...aking-kit.html
Now, in your opinions, do you think that the kit linked from the monstermakers site would be the best for what I'm looking to do? Or would I need to go more specialized for the each. I mean, I know that obviously for fiberglass armor you use fiberglass, latext masks are latex, and foam rubber weapons are foam rubber, but what I mean more is, would that one kit be able to take care of my needs? Is there a specific clay I should be using for a specific type of project or will the things that come in that kit do me just as well?
Thank you all in advance, I really appreciate everything you guys have here and while I may not post much, I lurk like mad and I poke at my wife and my young kids to see all of the fantastic creations and talent in these threads. Thank you!

The intake shown is an aluminum version of the 428 P.I. It is the best available for a street FE. The C6AZ 9424-M was the same version but with the carburetor pad set off to one side to equalize runner length (higher RPM useage).
Building a thumper is not going to power a heavy BIRD so as it to have it do what you want to do. You need to follow proven technology (street vs. race) to have a balanced performance street engine (IMO)
hey rick,
the old jba/esi group did a balls to the wall build-up of an fe motor once, for a guy who put it into an amc bodied car to run at the salt flats for an all out top speed run. i was there when they finished the build and were about to do a dyno run on it. i remember going over the specs for the motor too - the cylinder heads were TOTALLY done up! material added in some places; material removed in other places - all in the name of creating a straighter flow from the intake manifold to the cylinder chamber. i'm not sure what the ending angle was, but i believe the starting angle is in the neighborhood of 37deg! it's no wonder why the fe was never a horsepower monster! anyhow, the motor had a custom intake manifold, created because the ports on the cylinder heads werent in the proper places anymore... and it ran an impressive 676hp and some 600ft-lbs of torque at 7600rpm! at the time, it was the highest power ever recorded for a naturally aspirated fe - i dont know if there's one that beat it now. that series was never a motor to get the numbers out of. with today's technology, you can get pretty close to those numbers with a stroked small block (351 block) and still be hundreds of pounds lighter. that amc, however, did break the 200mph mark.... which in itself is an achievement for an old brick!

Your going to gain about 50 cfm of flow on the intake and the exhaust on an aftermarket head versus a stock 390 FE. Granted even +50 on a head that flows 200I and 130E is still quite poor even compared to a stock small block chevy of the time.
My statement was take the stock heads off and bolt on a set of aftermarket heads. You'll make more power low mid and high. Much better than a stroker with a stock set of heads. Nothing was ever said about ported heads versus stock aftermarket heads. In stock form the FE head is as poor a flowing head as you can find.
I guess I can't even fathom a balls to the walls motor with stock casting Ford heads. If we build a balls to the walls BBF Ford motor it had BETTER spin out 900+ on the dyno for a motor that can be run on the street but mainly for track use. A track only balls to the walls BBF race motor better do 1200 to the wheels.
I'm not arguing or bashin but in our shop if a pair of cylinder heads for a BBF balls to the walls motor aint flowing 400 CFM range, it aint balls to the walls in our book.
Just my opinion.
nope, not kidding. I've had my share of bbf too, all of them built-to-the-hilt. On one particular motor that had the stock irons ported, the heads were eventually replaced with edelbrock aluminums and there was no real gain in power (after all was said and done). inbetween the ported irons and aluminum edelbrock rpm heads were a STOCK casting c7 head that ran the same numbers as the ported heads! like i said earlier, the BIGGEST problem with getting power out of an FE is the intake angle leading INTO the cylinder chamber. even the aluminum heads can only address that problem just so much, before requiring a totally new intake manifold design.... and yes, i've been there too with the original jba's machine shop, esi.
the best upgrade any fe owner could do to the motor is change the rockers to something adjustable (428cj are adjustable) and stick in better valves, valve springs, and lifters. as well as a good cam. new intake manifold, better carb, and better exhaust wouldnt hurt neither. just watch out for the venerable fe high pressure oil passage crack and tap in the largest holley jets into the oil feed hole between the head and block (the ones that feed the rocker shafts) and you're set. aftermarket heads, in my opinion, arent worth it for the fe.

|think i figured out how to post pics
|Rick WI
An aftermarket cylinder head will gain you more on the bottom, mid and top. About the best mod I can think of for a big block Ford.
How do I know? Had more than a few big block fords on the dyno.

|what's your email it is easier for me to send the pix in email
|66 T-Bird
if you go with a 428 crank buy used and buy the whole rotating assembally not just the crank unless you want to pay to have it all ballanced.
the streetmaster is made by edelbrock, they don't make them anymore but if you can find a used one that is not port matched yet you would pay up to 200 bucks for it
not quite sure what FPA stands for it's ford performance something or other...
yeah all you need is all of the goodies on top to make 400hp but getting past 450 is tricky 400 is easy
i have the stock leaf springs with reversed shackles and competition engineering 3 way adjustable shocks all the way around set to 90/10 weight transfer i am running no sway bar and i am running summit racing chrome traction bars
i'll try and post a pic of my shifter i just took a pic of it
390 stroker
Cool, that is greatly appreciated and I will definitely take you up on that. (Probably immediately!) By the way, clarify a few terms for me... Steetmaster- is the company name?
FPA?... Ford Performance?
So it sounds like if I go with the 428 crank, I might as well go with the kit right?
And if I add the other goodies on top I'll be in more than I need shape?
BTW what kind of suspension do you have on your bird?
Just got over the fear of cutting the bird up.
Oh, Edelbrock streetmaster...
|66 T-Bird
|yes my shifter is in my center consol i can send you a pic if you want, it's not really finished yet but it's getting there, don't try this untill you buy a new center consol (cost me 10bucks) and if you are going to make a nice car you have to get over the fear of cutting the car up
|66 T-Bird
|nope i don't have a build journal or anything on here i stopped visiting here last year just by chance i decided to peek in and see if anything FE was happening and saw your thread i can walk you through some steps if you need help though my email is email@example.com if you need help down the road
390 stroker
Hey 66 tbird. See my edit in the previous post.
|66 T-Bird
put a comp xe274 bump stick in it with the right springs and all the crap
then do the intake swap to a streetmaster (proven best on mild motors) get the intake port matched to the heads (you can do it your self with a dremel tool)
stick a 750 holley on that thing and tune it good
get a new distributor, the stock ones are crap, i like the mechanical advance i have in my msd one but it cost 300 bucks
get some spark plug wires and coil
if you have 500 bucks laying around get some FPA headers for a 66 thunderbird that will really really really help your horsepower that mod is better than getting heads IMHO
you can leave the bottom end stock to make just like 400 horsepower
you will have to do some oil restrictions in your heads (talk to the forum about that as i have no clue how to do this)
and get a new tranny if you are going to be making this power
390 stroker
So is it possible to get 400 hp and about 460ft/lbs of torque out of a pretty much stock motor with a .030" over bore? If so, how? Give me some steps please! Thanks for the link by the way. The info is much appreciated.
Oh! I didn't see 66 T-bird chime in! Wow! Thanks. do you have a build journal on here somewhere? I'm new here you'll have to excuse me. I have been checking out ford.fe... definitely a good place to learn for a beginner like me. So your shifter is on the center console? How much does all of this cost? I have way more determination than knowledge but would love to learn as much as possible. I'm currently in the process of taking the engine out but need to decide what im doin with it when i get it out.
|66 T-Bird
you should head over to www.fordfe.com, not trying to defer you from this forum as it is a great forum but the people at fordfe know a little more about the FE engine, it is a great motor to get torque out of, you could get a 428 crank and stroke it to 406? or 416? and put a comp cams xe274 cam in it, streetmaster intake and adjustable rockers with a holley 750 on top and make around 420hp with that bad boy for around a grand depending on what heads you have on there look for me on the forum my user name is 1966Tbird
edit: a 428 is externally ballanced so you have to swap the whole rotating assembally into the 390 with the exception of pistons which you would want to get some good forged ones
i have a 1966 Tbird too, its got a 390 with a xe274 cam, offenhouser 360* duel port intake 1in 4hole riser, 750 holley vac. secondary, msd pro billit dissy with mechanical advance, msd 6al box, msd coil all that stuff, glass packs
the trans is a rebuilt c6 with tci clutches and a tci valvebody, it has a 2800 stall converter that i love and a B&M megashifter
if you get a bunch of power in your 390 your trans will explode, it happened to me the 1966 c6 trans has a cruize-O-matic shift pattern in the valvebody and the whole trans is unique to that year basically because of this nobody makes parts for it and nobody knows how to work on them. when mine exploded i got a c6 out of a 67 ltd, the original shifter in my t-bird would not work with the new shift pattern so i had to put a b&M megashifter in it, to do this i had to cut the collum and trim the boot that the shifter comes with to make it look decent, also i had to mount my power windows in my glovebox and get rid of the power locks (no big deal they didnt' work Ne way) then i had to remove the shifter from the steering collum, that wasn't too hard but i have a little nub where the chrome thing would go
another thing is you have to do something about that 28 spline 3:1 open rear, i just put a spool with 3.82 gears in it and it's fine till i break my axles........... i also had to mount a tach in the car to the right of the o-dometer and gauges on the chrome peice above your legs because the stock gauges are crap and don't even have numbers on them

Discussion in 'March 2007' started by max, Mar 5, 2007.
Cleveland March 7 7:30 PM tv: tv20 Lebran James comes to town with the rest of the Cavs.
Down with the King! Down with Lebron!
Chat is open! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Why does this team insist upon crushing my soul?
Oh why, oh why does Flip play his starters to the bone (Tay playing major minutes)? Does he not think that anyone else on the team can contain Lebron? I'm pretty pissed that Delfino didn't even get in the 2nd half and Flip Friggin' Murray played twice as many minutes. The Pistons lost on the boards and took over 40 free throws so why isn't this a win again?
Bad, bad loss. No defense at all in the first quarter, but after it got better for most of the rest of the game, the D vanished again in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. And then when it returned in the last couple of minutes of OT, the offense suddenly vanished, with bad shot selection and choking on the ones that were makeable. The Pistons are struggling pretty badly now, and the schedule's not going to make it easy to right the ship.
Flip Murray outplayed Billups on defense. How sad is that? Tayshaun played matador defense on Lebron all game. Why we cannot defend the P&R and why our man goes over the top instead of under every time is a coaching problem. Frustrating game. Sheed needs to keep sitting until he is right. He's playing on bad wheels.
Good games Rip Hamilton: in 47 minutes, put up 29 points and played good defense Carlos Delfino: in 6 minutes, played phen-omenal defense on LeBron and didn't see the second half Decent games Flip Murray: got to the line 6 times and actually got a stop on one of his defensive possessions Chris Webber: in 41 minutes, lousy defense and missed a ton of shots, but rebounded well Jason Maxiell: pretty good defense, but missed every shot he took Antonio McDyess: 7&6 in only 11 minutes. That his defense was bad goes without saying, though Bad games Tayshaun Prince: in 46 minutes, got smacked around by James for at least 30 points. Pretty efficient offense, though Chauncey Billups: in 45 minutes, nearly recorded a triple double, but missed 80% of his field goal attempts and a game-tieing uncontested layup in the clutch Rasheed Wallace: not terrible defensively or on the boards, but missed almost all of his spot-up threes Flip Saunders: Flip coached this like a playoff game.
A complete lack of offensive execution down the long stretch. Very poor execution for a contending team. This coach has had a long time to get the offense to a contending level. Do any of the other contenders in the NBA have this problem? We need points from Billips to go where we want to go--assists are not enough. His shots have no consistency to them. We need to get him some good looks (even though he is the point). Sheed did not look ready and that hurt. So why was he shooting threes? The defense was inconsistent. We have to hold teams to 90 in the regular season and around 80-85 in the playoffs. Not afraid of Cleveland but am wondering if our offense can take us to the big dance.
Well, Webber got his first 20-10 game as a Piston. Quite impressive on the offensive end of the floor. Not bad at times on D, but lacking very much in covering the lane to the basket. Meanwhile, Sheed could not move well at all to start the game, and Cleveland took advantage, owning the inside. They got a pretty hefty lead on us. The bench came in, Delfino, Murray, Maxiell, Dyess. And we pretty much tied the game back up. So why bring in the starters to end the 2nd quarter? Of course, to ensure we don't have anything at the end of the game. Sure we did ok there for those few minutes, but be assured, that coaching move lost us the game. Billups had a good game, and yet a horrible game. Great when he was deciding to drive in, draw fouls, and get to the line. Horrible when he decided it was yet another opportunity to clank a missed three off the rim. You take away all those very ill timed treys both he and Sheed took, and we win this game easily enough. Of course, a decent coach would be needed to control his team. Joe Dumars should fire Saunders tonight, take over the team. It would be hard work sure, but we could win it all this year. Its worth it. Rip had a fine scoring game and he spent quite a bit of time guarding Bron. He did not do so great at that, but for sure Rip put a lot of energy into the game. Bad shots? Not by Rip. He has a pretty darn good nose for when to take a shot. Webber scored pretty much all his inside. A steal by him where he took it all the way down and dunked was the highlight of his game. Basically, Webber just knows how to score. Dyess did a couple of good things, but his outside shooting, when not falling, hurts us. From what I can see, Dyess has enough of an inside game these days he should go back to that. Inside scoring is always more reliable, and we needed it mightily tonight. Flip did good. Basically controlled his urge to shoot the ball every time he touches it. If he could do that consistently, and actually put effort into defense consistently, he would be a regular in the rotation. Note, good D by Maxiell and Delfino got us back into the game in the first half. So Delfino is left out of the rotation in the 2nd half. Imagine that, no Hunter, and Delfino plays less. Its amazing how Flip can make a negative out of an opportunity. Tay did some scoring for us. Good stuff. Yet against Cleveland, he should have been driving inside all night, not just on occasion. And in key situations, where we had to have a stop on Bron, Delfino should have been in the game, not Prince. Not that bad a game overall after the first quarter. If Flip would have pulled Sheed out early in that first quarter, recognizing that Sheed was killing us by not being able to move, we would have never got so far in the hole. One loss. Oh well. At least JMAX played, and did quite well. GO PISTONS!!!!!
I know we went in to OT, but 40+mins for the CB, Rip, Tay & Cwebb is just plain dumb FLIP. Those guys played the last six minutes of regulation and all of OT which means they may have been "tired". Rip scores 10 pts in a row at one time in crunch time and OT, but no one else can hit a shot. Once again we waisted opportunities in the end by tossing up threes. (CB 0-6 from beyond the three and 2-10 overall). The eastern conference player of the month in February is 1-16 from beyond the arc in March. We got back in this game in the second by going to the paint and getting fouled. Then of course the starters come back in and everything is jump shot or bad pass. They still haven't capitalized or mastered all of the sweet passes that Cwebb delivers yet. Two late ones blown when LBJ blocked Rip who was right under the basket and then in the closing minute of OT CB tries a reverse layup off of a nice Cwebb pass that barely gets over the rim. This goes back to FLip again with those funky plays out of time out that didn't work , and his failure to convince Sheed to play down low. Once Z fouled out, both he and CWebb and should have been down low in those last 2 mins of OT to attack the rim!!! We may have beat them at the FT line 44 to 24, but they beat us in the pain 56 to 30. Not sure how we can miss Sheed for three games and Hunter for one and lose three of those and just barely beat the Grizzlies, but the Heat can miss Wade and Kopono and still blow out the Bulls??? Those 10 games that Hunter will be out will hurt more than we think. In the March poll someone thought that the Pistons would finish 15-2. Right now they would be lucky if the finish 6-11
e B/C the Heat are sound defensively, and have a fantastic coach. We are sleeping defensively, and our coach is an idiot. I was thinking back to the MIA game where those 2 drives happened at the end of the game (1 by Posey, the other i forget by who). At least 1 of those, if not both would've been a block/miss w/ our old defense. We still try to grind out games, but we don't seem to be good enough to play that style anymore. Hopefully this is just a case of Sheed being injured. After all, he IS our interior defense since DD is glued to the bench. I'm still trying to figure out why we were jacking up 3's, and why Saunders calls time-outs to set up a play in the 1st place. It's not like they work . . .
It's like he has this kneejerk reaction to call a timeout to quiet the crowd when his team is playing badly, and then remembers, oh yeah, we're at home.
When we were pushing the 10 point lead in the 4th, I had a feeling the invisible hand would put them back in the game. And then it happened, the worst non-charge call of the season. Lebron coming around a screen like a freight train looking behind him for the ball. Maxiell standing like the English Royal Guard for approximately 23 seconds before he was leveled. Blocking foul??? wait... that one was too obvious, how do we get out of this... double foul, jump ball. WTF? Is that a possible call in that circumstance? I want to see that on the Ronnie Nunn segment. Tayshaun's travel? That wasn't a travel, he kept his right as the pivot and then jumped off of both feet. Billups drives baseline, gets massacred by LeBron. He rotates 90 degrees in the air from the contact. No call. LeBron drives to the hoop. Phantom call when Tay leaves a good 2 feet between them. I watched in super slow mo on the DVR, the only contact between those 2 bodies was Lebron's off arm fending away Tay's arm, which was straight up. I'm telling you, the NBA did not want us to meet them in the ECF after sweeping them in the regular season. That would not be good for the old ratings. Yeah, we could have done a lot of things better, but we still had the second best team in the East beat.
you are reaching. that was a clear travel (foot shuffle) and the CB botched layup was due to tight D. besides, if the whistle was blown everytime there was tight D, we'd go back to %%%%%ing about the refs. we blew this one.
It's either a block or a charge. A double foul implies that it was a block and a charge, which is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.
A lot of the refereeing was bad, with that block/charge fiasco being the most obviously ridiculous thing, but we can't pin this one on the refs. The Pistons shot 29 FTs in the first half, for crying out loud! And I remember at least one of those calls in the first half--someone was called for a phantom foul on Tay as he drove to the hoop--being outrageously bad. Mike Brown went ballistic and got T'd up on that one, but it was tough to blame him. So to some extent, the calls that the Cavs were getting in the second half was just the refs evening things out a bit.
Seems like any conference finals that has LeBron in it would garner good ratings, especially one that has a good chance of going the full 7 games. I'm sure they would prefer a Shaq/Wade vs. LeBron but I feel the Pistons have a lot of "star" power, too, with Webber, Rip, C-Note and the ever-bad Sheed.
I don't think the refereeing is to blame. The Pistons can't keep coming out without energy. Sheed is not mobile at all. Billups cannot hit the broadside of a barn from 3. Except for Tayshaun calling his own number on the inbounds pass play, we're going to struggle if we continue to flounder on execution out of timeouts. It's only one game, but we are now 1-3 in the critical March run. If the Pistons don't pull up their bootstraps and get to work, this could be an ugly month to watch.
This SUCKS! How does this team just implode so horribly? Its just one loss...3 out of 4 times.

There was a group of children that liked to color with colored pencils. they would make these incredible works of art with these pencils.
Another group of children used water colors and they would make all of their pictures with water colors. These children hated pencils but none of them ever used a pencil or even held a pencil.
Another group of children finger painted and they made a mess and they hated pencils and water colors.
One day the one of the children that finger painted stole a colored pencil from one of the children in the other group and did some graffiti on the sidewalk. There were cameras all over the playground for the childrens protection so they caught this child in the finger painting group do this terrible act.
In the end the finger painting group and the water color group got together and came to a conclusion that blue pencils were the problem and banished all pencils from the play ground.
If this makes sense to you then you are a huge pile a you know what and probably voted for this tyrant. When the day come that you find yourself with a criminal who has a TEK-9 pressing into your forehead, carjacking you and trying to rape your wife, dont turn to us, the people that you know have a legal concealed firearm, and expect us to save youre a$$. You voted for this to happen. Its your fault.

ok so i got a 76' mustang II that is in my garage. it was my grandmothers but she had eye problems and had to park it. it has 136,XXX miles, been garaged for the last 20 years, all O.E. stock. beautiful!! so i want to get it out and drive it since im 19 and want a car. I'm going to school to be an auto mechanic so i know some background too. as far as how to hold a wrench lol. in other words im not new to this stuff... anyways i got the fan and everything to turn so I'm like 90% sure it's not seized. what I want to know is where should I start? I'm currently on crutches and healing from a skateboarding accident and have plenty of time on my hands so i want to get the car prepped and ready for work in next week or two. where should I start, main problems I should be looking for, any tips, ways to save costs.P.S. things I have already done: the battery is dead, I jumped a battery to it and all the lights turned on and everything as far as that worked. but when my antsy friend tried to start it, it just clicked. which probably mean's it needs a new starter, or the battery in the mustang currently is so dead it cant absorb enough energy to turn the motor...
welcome to the forums.. don't replace the starter... yet... put a freshly charged battery in.. you might want to put a 15/16 socket on the alternator pulley bolt.. and slowly work the crank around..you did not say which of the 3 possible motors it came with.. the 2.3 four.. the 2.8 V6.. or the small block 302 V8..if it has a V6 or V8 and it has a FUNNY looking carb... with sliders on the top... DO NOT spray carb cleaner in or around it.. its a variable venturi carb.. and they work great when they work.. there is a big diaphragm on the back to pull the slider back when the vacuum above the throttle blades increases... it melts with carb spray... pick up a stainless steel wire tooth brush from the paint or hardware store.. you will want to count the wires on the starter solenoid on the inner fender.. take one nut off at a time.. wire brush both sides of each wire ring terminal. wire brush the stud... wire brush the inside face of the nut... count wires and reassemble.. go to the starter cable and clean both ends.. got a camera... post some pictures to photobucket.. and the image links here..feel free to ask questions.. i know these models really well..there are a bunch of different magazines on this site.. around 40 or so... most have forums... all have archives and tech section ...what section of auto repair are you studying in school???
that alternator thing you mentioned is actually exactly what i did hehe. I have the 2.8 v6 model. thanks for the info on the carb cleaner. I am def. one who would have tried that...I will get on that starter solenoid asap. thank you so much for your reply Wayne. I'm not in the class yet. I am still taking me pre-requisite classes. but I believe it's just general car repairs. the name of the class (may or may not make a difference) is called "automotive service technician" lol it seems that i should pay more attention to things around me lol.
there is just SO much to learn...pre_requisites ... hmm... thats strange.. hopefully electronics.. basic automotive theory.. or autolab.. when i went to tech school about 35 years ago.. why don't you take up some study.. google my user name... i cover a like 20 different forums here.. do you have a different car that runs??? at least starts.. lets learn a basic diagnostic step that i do to almost every car i work on... as it comes in.. and before it leaves...check out this thread i started on another magazine here..http://forums.jpmagazine.com/70/9391074/jeep-engine/jeep-grounds-where-to-and-how-to-check-them-in-min/like i said.. each magazine has a tech archive.. an article archive.. a search window.. featured cars archive also...find this icon at the bottom of this page..once there.. click the OUR SITES tab.. that will take you to a list of most of the magazines on this site.. there are even 4 mustang and ford specific magazines here..
here is a trip to a bunch of different mustang II articles spread out through the various magazines..http://www.carcraft.com/sch/02/mustang-ii/articles/?searchSource=SourceInterlinkMediahave some fun.. change the search term.. and try again..
sweet I really appreciate all you have told me. I have a few more questions I actually would like to ask on the condition of my stang. first: when i look down the oil filler hole I saw a bunch of like tar gum *** obviously its from the dried up oil but should i do anything to it? or will it just come off? second: inside the radiator filler cap down in there, there is a bunch of white snowman looking stuff? i touched it and it felt like gel. third: i took the radiator return hose off(i call it the return hose, there might be an actual name but I'm sure you'll understand haha)inside there was like flakes of rust. like major rust! yes yes I know antifreeze is corrosive, but my point is, is the block still good? it's probably major rusted out(?) that's my guess.
have you gotten the engine to CRANK with the key or a remote starter button yet.??? if so.. then you can change the oil and filter...warning.. do not install the filter until the last thing... put engine oil in.. use remote starter with ignition coil wire disconnected... crank engine until you get oil flow out the filter mount.. wipe a tiny amount of clean oil on the filter gasket and install filter.. hand tight.. NOT cranked down to make sure it will never ever leak.. if you do crank it down tight. you will learn why you don't when you go to take the filter off the next time.. it won't come off.. the reason to crank it with the filter off it to allow the oil pump to prime properly.. this does not need to be done usually.. just on new motors or on a few that can loose their prime.. overhead cam 1.8 pontiacs from the early to mid 90s needed this done a lot on oil changes.. the thin oil they used would drain out of the worn crank driven pump and it would dry start and the oil light would not go out..you can crank it with oil in and filter on until you get the oil light out.. ~~~~~~~white jell is dried coolant...rust flakes in a cooling system that has set 20 years is kinda expected..the only thing that is probably rusted out is the freeze plugs.. you can handle that.. use some 10W40 oil... just cheep stuff for now.. as you will want to change it just after you get it running again.. .you will also want to DISCONNECT and block the fuel hose from the body to the fuel pump... you don't want 20 year old fuel being pushed thru the fuel pump and carb.. once you get the engine to crank when you turn the key.. does your carb look like this???there are a pair of VENT tubes just in front of the choke blade.. on either side.. you can WITH CARE... pour no more than 1/4 cup of fuel into one of those holes... this will give you enough to crank the engine and get it to start for a few seconds..if your carb looks like this one above... post that info.. there are several great articles on rebuilding that motorcraft 2100 or 2150 carb... these are really EASY carbs to rebuild... and i have even more info on them...usually after sitting for as long as it has.. it will need a carb kit installed .. or it will leak all over the place...there might be a metal tag under one of the cover hold down screws.. thats an important ID for the carb to get the proper kit..
i have additional and there are several more articles spread around...http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/mump_1201_autolite_carburetor_rebuild/so.. when if you get around to a carb rebuild... ask ... as there are some things to make it easier...
like I said i got the motor to turn a little. i grabbed the AC pully and muscled it around like a quarter turn. then i also did the alternator thing. so it did crank like maybe from TDC to BDC and that's about all human power can do haha. so i should put battery in, change the oil, disconnect the plugs, crank the engine, stop, oil filter then put it on? right now the battery is as dead as toast. the carb looks exactly like that.
also Wayne does this mustang sound like it is going to work again? is it a good beginner restoration project? do you think it needs more than what i think it does? how does my situation look where your standing?
yes... it will live..its going to make you a better mechanic... as it has all the parts that are the basis for all future models..first step... get it to crank.. nothing is impossible.. it just costs a little more.. with the V6.. you have a car that will also get great fuel economy.. and still skoot along nicely.. don't give up the ship before you have started.. eventually.. you might want to swap in a V8... the only issue is the MII requires a reduced size bell housing and torque converter to clear the transmission hump.. and i think a special oil pan and pickup.. look under the rear end of your MII... you already have an 8" ford rear end.. there should be a C4 transmission behind the 2.8... so thats easy to fix..because of limited space for the battery.. that car takes a 26R size battery.. please don't leave off the heat shield between the side of the battery and the exhaust.. does it have a sun roof?? some did.. there were cobra V8 models with air dams up front.. and spoilers on the back.. that will bolt on yours... unless you have a notchback.. you did not say fast back or notch back.. but either is cool..
pheww ok haha. I though I would ask because people all over (grandpa, mom, sister etc.) are always telling me it's toast. but I like the way it looks and the thought behind it. I also really like the though if it being out of the garage and giving me and my band more practice space. I think i will keep the V6 for now. but who knows, maybe later down the road 10 years from now? i will. or when i get a good paying job...8" rear end? you mean the axle? or the diff ring? im not educated about that much...i take it 8" is good though right? lol. No sun roof. that would be awesome haha. it's the GHIA model so i dont know if what you are talking about will work hah DARN! sounded cool though...
You keep it going and the rewards are plentyfull.As time goes by you can always step up and install a BBF FE block 390 and up. Then modify the suspension, and driveline to handle to horse power and torque. Then put some Mickey Thompson 10" sticky's on the back and have a ball with it.I'm an old Gear Head, and old Gear Heads like to o fast...LOL...Bob
you got it. I will start working on it hopefully this weekend prepping it and whatnot and getting supplies ready, and hopefully before long i can get my A** movin down the road and visit my GF haha. hey babe

The fact that your other bees are not interested in the honey is typical for CCD, Colony Collapse Disorder, which is caused by neonicotinoid pesticides. As that honey might still contain some of the poison I would not try to feed it to your other hive. It would be good if you could identify, where the bees gathered the contaminated honey or pollen, this would have happened up to half a year ago. Fields of oiseed rape, or maize (corn) are usually treated with these systemic pesticides, but you would not notice much at the hive at time they are flowering. But then the colony usually dwindles away to nothing in winter. Other common sources of neonics are golf courses or parks, where the turf gets treated against grubs, and nearby flowers and trees pick up the toxin and secrete it with nectar and pollen. I hope your other hive is ok, but unless these chemicals get banned there's little hope of keeping our bee populations alive in future.
Antaro, if there's good nectar flow elsewhere bee's will ignore honey like the plague. If the original hive is strong you can simply put the boxes on top and they'll clean and defend it like it's their own. A few other options are you can do a split and either buy a second queen or do a walk away split, or buy a package and put it in there as it's new home. The CCD claim is dubious at best.JackM you beat me to the punch. To claim CCD is indeed conjecture at the very least but it's more of a pattern. You'll find Stromnessbees hops on here from across the pond to stir the pot with various unproven theories presented as facts. Undoubtedly, some links will now follow from biased groups with unreplicated "scientific" results that support whatever claim has been made. The sky is falling claim before this one was "Chemtrails."
I am hesitant to split anything right now as we are just coming out of winter and I don't want to mess with the other hives population. However, if I wait too long and do nothing with the frames, I worry that ants will take over the hive. The frames continue to mold as I type and don't know how far gone I should let them get. As for putting the boxes on top, that would create a massive hive of deeps. Not my idea of fun lifting! Hmm. Complications!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Jim Weeks
I have a 1930 Model A and I did a lot of measuring and research before buying the wheels and tires. I went to the BFgoodrich web site and they had a section with all the tire sizes along with the widths and the diamaters of each tire. You will need this information along with the measurements you take off your car to make the right decision. You will also need the frontspace, and backspace measurements on the rims you plan to buy.
I ended up getting the P-255 70 R15 tire on a 15 X 8 inch rim which has a diamater of 28 inches for the back. Up front I put the 195 70R14 tire on a 14 X 6 inch rim which has a diamater of 24 inches.
This ended up to be the perfect set up for this car as it gave the car just the right stance, looked cool, and still handles well. If you go with a tire diameter difference of more than 4 inches front to rear the car is more difficult to handle on corners.
If you plan to go with the same size tires front and rear the planning is easier but the car doesn't look as cool. I guess it just depends on what you want there.
'34 Ford Tudor Wheel/Tire Selection?
I'm building a steel '34 Ford Tudor and it is currently on jacks. I'm hanging the fenders, running boards, etc. now and am about to puchase American Torque Thrust II's and Michelin Pilot sneekers. However, I want to buy the correct size wheels and tires the first time. What I want to do is go "one-over", where the cool low profile Michelins allow a larger wheel to show off. All the while, keeping the tires clear of fender rub. Anyone out there experienced with this?

Gun to Head – they get at least $1,500
While stepping out for a smoke at the Sons of Caesar Social Club on Everett Road in Colonie , a man was robbed at gunpoint, police said, just before 8:00 p.m. Sunday night.
Police say a 54-year old man from Green Island came out of the club for a cigarette and was approached in the parking lot by two suspects demanding money. One of the suspects was armed with a black revolver and when the man refused to hand over any cash, the suspect put a gun to his head and the other man searched the victim's pockets, taking between $1,500-$1,700 and running off, police said.
No shots were fired and the victim said they got into a dark-colored four-door sedan. Police say there was an armed robbery a short time earlier in the city of Albany but it's not known if they are related and there's no video surveillance.
Suspect 1: Black Male, late-20's or early 30's, 6'0", 210-pounds, black dreadlock hair, and dark eyes.
Clothing: Green jacket
Weapon: Black Revolver with Brown Handles
Suspect 2: Black Male, late teens or early 20's, 5'6", 150-pounds, and large black rimmed glasses
Clothing: Light gray-hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and black Nike sneakers
Suspect Vehicle: dark color four-door sedan, possibly brown
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact the Colonie Police Department at 518-783-2744.

Niños de la Memoria tells the story of the search for hundreds of children who disappeared during the Salvadoran Civil War. Many were survivors of massacres carried out by the U.S. trained Salvadoran army. Taken away from the massacre sites by soldiers, some grew up in orphanages or were adopted abroad, losing their history and identity. Niños de la Memoria weaves together three separate yet intertwined journeys in the search for family, identity and justice in El Salvador, and asks the larger question: How can a post-war society right the wrongs of the past? Producer Kathryn Smith Pyle is a Sundance Institute Fellow whose former career as a grantmaker in the U.S. and Latin America was dedicated to grassroots development and giving voice to marginalized communities, often through community media projects.

A diverse group of concerned animals unite to defend their jungle home from a scheming real-estate developer who's destroying a national park to build a sprawling new subdivision. When proud papa leopard Sultan loses his life defending his family home from an invading army of machines, the frightened animal inhabitants of a national park convene to discuss their future. Although most agree that the best response is to flee, mischievous monkey Bajrang insists that the animals should strike back at the humans, while thoughtful bear Bagga suggests talking it out with the destructive intruders. In order to communicate with the humans, the animals attempt to recruit an eloquent talking parrot named Alex. Though at first reluctant to speak out against the humans he loves so much, Alex eventually agrees to join the group on a journey from Mumbai to Delhi, where they plan to present their concerns to the parliament. Along the way, the determined animals discover they're not the only ones concerned with the recent construction projects, and make some new friends they'll never forget. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

So the dems want to put the draft back in right now
Well...you libs went and done it now. You elected all those dems into office and now look.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An influential Democratic lawmaker on Sunday called for reinstatement of the draft as a way to boost U.S. troop levels and draw a broader section of the population into the military or public service.
U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (news, bio, voting record), the incoming chairman of the House of Representatives' tax-writing committee, said he would introduce legislation to reinstate the draft as soon as the new, Democratic-controlled Congress convenes in January.

As I recall, that was a cornerstone of the last presidential election ("don't vote for Bush, he's gonna reinstate the draft").
I think it's a BAD idea.
Our current military is structured to be a volunteer force. Unlike the old days, there's no room for the unwilling, unmotivated, or untrainable. Today's military is more skilled and educated than the past - not a lot of potato peelers. Much of the unskilled work has been outsourced.
In fact, they reject more people mid-enlistment for "unsuitability" than ever before. They don't have the time, energy, or patience needed to shape up those that aren't "with the program".

I do not opose it. Not for me or my children. As a matter of fact not just the draft but a 2 year service rotation for every American would be good.
In a way simular to how Isreal recruits for its Military. That way a broader section of America will know and feel the sacrifice that our troops make, both for the physical seperation and work but the sacrifice that is made by the family 's of our troops.
With that many people serving we could secure our Northern and Southern Borders. Shipping Ports, Air Ports, Schools, Nuclear Power Plants and everything else that we have need to secure. It would not need to be traditional Army type of stuff. Sure the basic training would be the same but then break off for some other hands on skills training from caprentry to engineering, heavy equipment operation/repair.
At the end of 2 years everyone leaving would have a skill that is useful and can thus be contributing member of society, with skills that will allow them to support a family.
Funding it would be a killer and to be honest I do not yet have a plan for that part of it. I do believe that it would have some real benifits.

I say reinstate it for sure. Get some diversity in our armed forces. How many people of Indian, Arab or Asian descent do you see serving? None, yet they get all the benefits of being an American.

As a veteran myself, I think some form of national service isn't a bad idea. Make it a requirement for things like subsidized student loans/grants, etc... It wouldn't necessarily be the military, but somewhere they could add value.
If that makes you want to move to Canada, then good riddance.
That's a big part of the problem with the U.S. - people who think that all of the benefits we have "just happened" and that the most important thing in the world is waiting in line for a freaking video game or some other self-indulgent crap - "it's all about MEEEEEEEE".

ok, i can agree with what some of you are saying, like a mandatory 2-year service thing, but not drafting into the military. If the U.S. was to try to force me to go to Iraq or some other god awful region that we don't need to be in anyway...screw that. Canada here I come. I'm a pacifist.

There's a guy from the Flint area who was a pararescue guy in the Vietnam war. He would be lowered into hostile territory, locate and retrieve downed / wounded aviators, pilots, and aircrew. Once they were aboard the chopper and safe, he would get back in. Didn't carry a weapon. Probably one of the baddest ass people I've ever heard of, and a pacifist.
You go where you're needed - again, it's not about YOU, but about the greater good. It has nothing to do with whether you agree with the big picture or not. I'd bet the 1000s of troops who died at Iwo Jima would rather have been somewhere else. Hell, I bet a lot of them were prepared to cede Asia to the Japanese if it would've got them outta there. But they didn't, they stepped up and did their duty - not their personal preference, but their duty.

t seems sova has a fair amount of respect for the enemey .... so i think a medic would be great. Since the jihadists are so well known for bitching about the treatment of their un-uniformed soldiers (correct me if i am wrong sova you made comments in the not to distant past about treatment of gitmo detainees and didnt agree with me that they do not diserve acomodations agreed apon form the geneva convention .... nevermind that they are not a nation and were not signee's). Anyways my point is uniformed medics with the red cross on them CANNOT be shot at. This is the perfect job for you. Saving people and trusting your life to a bunch of suicidal bombers. You dont carry arms and dont fight. You cannot be shot cause its in the geneva convention and i am sure the insurgents abide by it.

3) Murdering Children
Kill Sons of Sinners
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
God Will Kill Children
The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)
Kill Men, Women, and Children
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
God Kills all the First Born of Egypt
And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed. Pharaoh and his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died. (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT)
Kill Old Men and Young Women
"You are my battle-ax and sword," says the LORD. "With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and rulers. "As you watch, I will repay Babylon and the people of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done to my people in Jerusalem," says the LORD. "Look, O mighty mountain, destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy," says the LORD. "I will raise my fist against you, to roll you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely wiped out," says the LORD. (Jeremiah 51:20-26)
(Note that after God promises the Israelites a victory against Babylon, the Israelites actually get their butts kicked by them in the next chapter. So much for an all-knowing and all-powerful God.)
God Will Kill the Children of Sinners
If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)
More Rape and Baby Killing
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)

I am thinking that it would not need to be active duty combat like say Iraq. But only the Military in general could turn some stoned slackers into productive people. And back in 1984 I fit that generalzation.
Peace Corp or Americorps with more of a Millitary slant for training.... and projects of building things like inner city schools, road repair, and boarder security.

Upon graduation, one main avenue to pursue for a job is one within industry. As a chemical engineer whose research is focused on cancer cell biology and cell mechanics, I've found that there at least two major branches of industry that would suit me and others doing similar work. These are biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
Biotechnology companies include Novo Nordisk, Amgen and Genentech and many others. These companies aim to meet healthcare needs by providing medication for disease treatment or novel technology for diagnostics.
Chemical engineers have the skills to work anywhere from research and development to product quality and production by utilizing skills we have attained from both the classroom and research environment to address the needs of the company. Biotech scientist jobs not only provide exciting research opportunities, but are ranked one the best jobs in America by CNN because of their high job security, future growth, flexibility and pay.
Another sector of industrial opportunities is within the pharmaceutical industry. Major pharma companies include Johnson and Johnson, Eli Lilly, Novartis and Sanofi Aventis. These companies meet healthcare needs through the design and development of medications and drugs for a wide variety of illness and diseases. Although imbued with exciting opportunities, recent jobs cuts have threatened the job security within the pharmaceutical industry, with thousands of jobs cuts in Merck, Novartis and others. This has mostly been due to consolidation and loss of patents.
Still, the pharmaceutical and biotech industry remain among the most desirable aspects of industrial work and are great places for job opportunities for those with engineering and science training.

Borseth's Return Featured on ESPN.com
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - In the middle of a two-game homestand, head coach Kevin Borseth and the Green Bay women's basketball team (7-2) are hard at work preparing to host rival Wisconsin (7-3) on Sunday at 7 p.m. During the team's recent 10-day break over finals week, ESPN's Graham Hays interviewed Borseth on his return to Green Bay following a five-year stint at Michigan.
Below is an excerpt from the article, which was released on ESPN's website on Dec. 20.
The road Kevin Borseth followed to become the subject of such a call is constantly choked with bumper-to-bumper coaching traffic. Bigger is always better, the grass always greener. Players graduate and move on to the real world. Coaches graduate to the next rung up the ladder. It's how Borseth got to Michigan in the first place. But to borrow from Robert Frost, the road that ultimately made all the difference to him was less well worn.
He chased a dream, but found what he was looking for when he retraced his steps.
"I just didn't enjoy myself where I was at," said Borseth, who returned to Green Bay this season after five seasons at Michigan. "I didn't. And not because it was anything of anybody else's doing. It was just that I didn't enjoy my quality of life. I really didn't. It was very difficult, and I think it weighed on me as a person, it weighed on me as a coach, it weighed on me as a parent. And I think a lot of people could see that.
"I feel it now. I mean, I get up in the morning and just my mind is clear."

The Phoenix will remain at home to play
consecutive home games for the first time this season as Wisconsin pays a visit
to the Kress Center on Sunday at 7 p.m. Green Bay will look to win its fourth
straight against the Badgers, who have won four in a row but are just 1-2 on
the road this season.
