Re: 1976 ranger 24
If you go to the Yahoo!Groups, you'll find that a bunch of us Ranger 24 owners are hanging out there. The Ranger 20 owners association was active up until last year when they disbanded. The online community is still lively, so who knows? Perhaps if we have enough Ranger owners that want to get "organized" we could start another group for Western Washington? Perhaps including the rest of the US and Canada?
Kent Ranger Boats manufactured Ranger 24s in the 1970s. Not as many 24s were built as their simular sister boat, the Ranger 20 was build in the thousands. Both of them were designed by Raymond Richards, a brilliant naval architect from Seattle. I have had the pleasure of owning both a Ranger 20 and now a Ranger 24. Most people confuse Kent Ranger Boats with the California Rangers--completely different company and designers. Kent Ranger Boats sold out it's molds and company assets in the early 90s, but their Ranger 20s are so numerous and are still very highly sought after and popular today. In my opinion, the Ranger 24 is a 'best kept secret' and if you read further you'll understand why.
The predecessor to the Ranger 24 is the Haida 26 MK1. You can find the spec sheets for both vessels on Sailboatdata.com is the worlds largest sailboat database.. The Haida 26 MK1 looks almost identical, aside from the proportional differences. The Haida 26 is also a fractional sloop vs the masthead design of the Ranger 24. HAIDA 26 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com. Comparitively, here is the info on the Ranger 24: RANGER 24 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
Also, the Haida 26 MKII was still the same hull, but the cabin top was changed shortly after they began production. I have yet to find a Haida 26 MKI for sail in the region, but if I ever do, I will jump on that one too!
If you look at the Ranger 20 (also a fractional sloop), you can see some of the same design concept in the hull shape. That shape is a trademark teardrop that really opens up the speed of the vessel as it heels, increasing the hull length. Very stable design even in rough water, very athletic for a pocket cruiser.
Some people argue that the fractional sloop is faster than a masthead. I think it mostly falls on the abilities of the sailor and how well they pilot and know their own vessel. So I think the verdict is still out on that one. Perhaps they are more efficient. I, personally, haven't seen a notable difference.
My boat was raced by the previous owners. They loved their twenty+ year run with the boat so much that they kept a complete suit of matched/numbered sails (nine all together) and upgraded the rigging. With the right modifications to the rig architecture to bring it forward into the 21st century, and the right electronics package, I believe that you can take this vessel anywhere in the world--except Padagonia. . . . Especially if you install a rugged dodger for use in the nasty weather, or to get in out of the sun.
These boats were built with positive flotation in them. The open lazerette design allows for an almost instant self bailing of the ocean-worthy cockpit design. If you look at circumnavigating boats, they generally have small and efficient cockpits. I also find the square footage/area of the mainsail to headsail proportions ideal for close hauled sailing. There isn't much weather helm that is inherent in sailboats with large mains. I've sailed other vessels of comparable size and sail area and find that the Ranger 24 is superior in many ways for solo sailing. You can single hand this boat and with the right autohelm or even bungee cords (weather permitting) the boat will sail itself.
They move quickly with little help from nature. Light weight enough to navigate in light winds, and heavy enough to be safe in foul weather.
I love my Ranger 24. It is a great boat. It will be hard to find another boat that I would like just as much in the same size range, other than--another Ranger 20 or 24.
Re: 1976 ranger 24
Hey Brian,
I just bought a KR24.. did you have any luck finding more info online? it seems to be pretty sparse out there
Re: 1976 ranger 24
I bought the Ranger 24. I fell in love with it at the dock. They are a very cool boat and I missed my Ranger 20 (It was my favorite of all the boats I've owned.) The 24 and 20 have identically shaped hull structure for exception of the fin keel on the 24. I like that it has a tow rail that goes from bow to stern and this makes it nice to set up blocks anywhere i want to accommodate any of the seven sails that she came with. This week I get to play with her finally and spend a few days on her doing some badly needed cleaning and maintenance with is a labor of love to me. Then I will take her out for some fun.

The Ranger 24 is a Kent, WA built boat. They are commonly referred to as Kent Rangers to distinguish them from the California Rangers (a different company).
Your boat was designed by Raymond Richards and is a variant of the ocean/blue water boat model the "Haida 26." Richards designed it to be blue water worthy with the cockpit and lazerette configuration.
Take care!

|yeppers thats my boat. love it. a kent ranger. i like it better them the other rangers. has a style of its own. thank you for showing me that. there are clubs out there for kent rangers. been looking at them. we took it out sailing for the first time last week .....wow that was so want to do it again.
The Kent Rangers are very different boats from the Mull/California Rangers. Ray Richards, the designer of the 24 also designed the Haida 26, which looks kinda similar in a way. Kent's 26 is, IIRC, almost a Bayfield style design.

|The basal forebrain projection system and its relationship to medial dorsal thalamus and prefrontal cortex
|Hall, Leah D.
|University of New Orleans. Honors thesis. 1990.; University of New Orleans. Dept. of Psychology.
|The present study investigated the basal forebrain cholinergic projection system. A double labeling retrograde transport technique was used to assess the nature of basal forebrain projections to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the mediodorsal thalamus. Rhodamine labeled latex microspheres and fluorogold, injected into MD and PFC respectively, were the tracers used for the detection of single and double labeled cells. Immunoreactivity for choline acetyl transferase (ChAT), an indicator of cholinergic cells, was performed on adjacent tissue sections. Single labeled neurons, cells which project to the MD injection site and retrogradely transport tracer material, were found in cortical regions (e.g., prefrontal, prepiriform, and insular cortex) and subcortical regions (e.g., claustrum and hypothalamus). Single labeled cells in the basal forebrain with projections to the MD were found in the substantia innominata, ventral and horizontal diagonal bands of broca, and the medial septum. Neurons single labeled from projections to PFC injection sites were thalamic nuclei, e.g., mediodorsal (dorsal, medial, and lateral sectors), centromedian, laterodorsal, and centrolateral, and BF nuclei (substantia innominata (SI), horizontal and vertical diagonal bands of broca, and medial septum). Cells in the lateral and dorsal hypothalamus and ventral tegmental area of the brainstem were also single labeled from projections to the PFC. Double labeled neurons, cells with branching axons which project both tracer materials, were not found in the basal forebrain. These results suggest that individual basal forebrain cells control either cortical or thalamic neurons and do not influence both areas at the same time. Such projection patterns allow for the possibility of very specific control of these regions for different functions. The experiment for ChAT immunoreactivity revealed no double labeled neurons, cells which contain both fluorescent tracer material and ChAT positive reaction product.

Seventeen's Fall Beauty Must-Haves
Seventeen: What's the trick to selecting the right foundation and concealer?
Mally Roncal: When you have a warmer skin tone, you want to make sure you look for concealer and foundation that match your undertones, otherwise you'll end up looking washed out. To find the perfect shade, you want to match the collarbone—instead of the jawline—which is closer to the shade of your face.
Seventeen: What should you consider when applying eye shadow?
Mally: For me, it's all about wearing colors that make you feel beautiful! That said, if you really want to make your eye color pop, the rule of thumb is to look for colors that are "opposite" of your eye color:
● Brown Eyes — Go for plums.
● Blue Eyes — Go for bronzes and shimmering browns.
● Green Eyes — Go for warm browns and warm violets.
● Hazel Eyes — Try browns, golds, and greens.

Fields of Interest
Molecular biology; chromatin assembly and histone modifications in mammalian cells and fission yeast.
Academic Profile
The nuclear DNA of eukaryotes is organized with structural and regulatory proteins to form the nucleoprotein complex termed chromatin. The primary functional unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, a particle containing histone proteins and approximately 200 base pairs of DNA. Research in my laboratory is directed toward understanding the processes involved in nucleosome assembly during DNA replication. Just as the DNA in dividing cells must be replicated once each cell cycle, so too must sufficient histones (and other chromatin proteins) be synthesized to assemble nucleosomes on the newly replicated DNA. The proper assembly of chromatin during cell division is of vital importance, because the presence or absence of nucleosomes (and the precise positioning of nucleosomes with respect to DNA sequences) can determine which genes are transcribed, and when. To make our results as relevant as possible to human cell biology, our experiments are performed using HeLa cells, a transformed human cell line maintained in spinner culture.
The faithful transmission and assembly of chromatin requires that many independent cellular processes be coordinated. As DNA is being replicated, histones are synthesized, then modified by enzymatic acetylation, transported to the nucleus, and assembled into nucleosomes. Moreover, supercoiled chromatin higher-order structures must first "unwind" to allow access to the DNA, and then condense again after replication is completed. In my laboratory the specific questions currently being investigated include: the modification status of parental histones that are segregated to progeny chromosomes, and the mechanisms of histone deposition onto newly replicated DNA; the involvement of histone acetylation in nucleosome assembly, and the properties of enzymes (acetyltransferases) involved; the role of histone phosphorylation in regulating chromatin folding; and the isolation and characterization of somatic nucleosome "assembly factors" to define the in vivo assembly pathway.
In order to address these questions we use a number of approaches, including DNA replication systems (in vivo and in vitro), histone acetylation assays, in vitro assembly reactions using purified components, and DNA supercoiling studies. We also take advantage of antibodies directed against specific histone and non-histone chromatin proteins, to purify and analyze newly replicated nucleosomes and their assembly intermediates. Our aims are to identify major cellular components needed to generate nucleosomes in vivo, and to characterize the stages of chromatin biosynthesis. Ultimately, these studies should provide a better understanding of the regulation of chromatin organization during DNA replication, and of the processes involved in the faithful assembly of transcriptionally active and inactive chromatin structures.

In the 24th century, Spock arrives on Veridian III to pay his final respects to his former captain, and greatest friend, James T. Kirk. Kirk risked his life to bring back Spock, but there was no way to bring back Kirk.
In the 23rd century, shortly after the Khitomer Conference (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), James T. Kirk decides to resign from Starfleet as his old Starfleet Academy nemesis Androvar Drake is appointed commander-in-chief of Starfleet Command. Lacking any drive in his life, Kirk accepts a last chance for adventure with the seductive young Teilani who wants him to protect her paradise planet; so Kirk and Montgomery Scott take the mothballed USS Enterprise-A and head for Chal where a secret Starfleet cabal seek to exploit the planet for all its fountain of youth properties. The rest of the former Enterprise crew hitch a ride on Hikaru Sulu's USS Excelsior and together the crew once again save the Federation. The Enterprise-A is destroyed while defending the Excelsior from Klingon battle cruisers under the direction of Admiral Drake.
Back in the 24th century Spock is preparing to escort Kirk's body back to Earth, when a ray of light emerges from Kirk's grave. Spock approaches it to investigate, and finds, Kirk is gone...

The Central Hardin Bruins had been in this position three times already this season as visiting 17th District rival John Hardin built a double-digit lead in the early going Tuesday night at Bruin Gym.
Much like in their first three games, the Bruins figured they had plenty of time to pull off another come-from-behind victory.
John Hardin senior guard Malcolm Foster would have none of it. Foster hit six 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 36 points to lead the Bulldogs to an 82-66 win. It was Central Hardin's third straight loss after a 3-0 start.
"We knew before Christmas that might happen. Fortunately we were able to win our first three," Central Hardin coach J.C. Wright said. "We've ran into a stretch where we're playing some quick athletic teams, and we've got to be able to adjust to their pressure. We face another team (tonight) in Bardstown that's much like John Hardin – they'll bring a lot of pressure to us. If we play like we did in the second half, I like our chances. But if we come out a little timid, then we're going to struggle early on."
Just like Thursday night, when Foster hit 3s on consecutive possessions to stake John Hardin to an 8-0 lead in the first 74 seconds.
Central Hardin didn't get on the board until senior guard Matt Nichols, who went 13-of-15 from the foul line and scored a team-high 27 points, hit two free throws with 5:49 left in the first quarter. That was as close as the Bruins (0-2 district) would get.
"It's a big district win. It's really, really big," said Foster, who also had five rebounds, one assist and one steal. "We've just got to keep playing hard. It starts in practice. You've got to practice hard and roll it over to the game."
The Bulldogs (4-0 overall, 2-0 district) are playing surprisingly well for a team that just got most of its starters back from the football team. John Hardin has won three times by 21 or more points and led wire-to-wire against 5th Region rival Bardstown in a 69-67 win Friday night.
Even though his team led 43-25 at the half Tuesday, John Hardin coach Mark Wells knew what the Bruins were capable of after picking up come-from-behind wins over region rival Nelson County, Henderson County and Grayson County.
"I know what they've done the last couple of games, especially against a good Henderson County team," Wells said. "We knew they capable of coming back, and we talked about that at halftime."
Spurred by Nichols and senior forward Austin Barnett, Central Hardin put together a furious third-quarter rally.
Nichols and Barnett, who had a double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds), combined to score 12 of the Bruins' 21 points in the period, pulling Central Hardin to within 55-46 going to the fourth quarter.
"Matt stepped up big for us, and Austin had one of his better games since he's been here," Wright said. "We had some kids step up, and when you make some shots that obviously helps as well.
"I was proud of them in the second half. We came out and fought hard," he added. "Then we made a couple of bad turnovers. When we have that type of run, we've got to keep pressing. We did a better job attacking the basket in the second half."
The Bruins turned the ball over twice in the first 90 seconds of the fourth quarter, and the Bulldogs began pulling away again.
After Barnett hit a short jumper with 5:14 left, John Hardin junior forward Patrick Crowe hit a layup and Foster drilled his sixth 3 to extend the lead to 68-53 with less than 4 minutes left.
"Malcolm shot the ball well, but we know he can do that," Wells said. "We did a good job recognizing him being open, and we executed a lot better. I was glad to see that. We were able to create shots for him, and there were a few that he created on his own. There's no doubt he has that ability. He's a talented basketball player."
Foster felt he was in for a solid night during pre-game warm-ups, and said his teammates recognized early on that he had the hot hand.
"My team was hitting me when I was open," said Foster, who also had five rebounds, one assist and one steal. "We do a good job of finding people when they're hot. Once we get rolling, it's hard to stop us. I was feeling great tonight. Central Hardin didn't put a hand up (in my face) so I had to shoot it."
John Hardin hit four free throws and Foster scored the Bulldogs' final six points in the final 2:17 to seal the win.
The Bulldogs joined district rival North Hardin as the only teams to score 80-plus points in a regular-season game at Central Hardin, and are off to their best start since they won their first seven games in 2005-06.
"The last couple of seasons we've started out slow off the bat," Wells said. "Central Hardin did a nice job coming out of the locker room and punched us in the mouth. Our kids came out focused and got off to a good start. Luckily Malcolm knocked down a couple of shots early and that got our energy rolling."
UP NEXT: John Hardin hosts 17th District rival North Hardin at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Central Hardin hosts 5th Region rival Bardstown at 7:30 tonight.

TutorialsRegistering Users and allowing them to edit their details
20 December 2010 | |Tweet
These days many sites require users to register to get full functionality (SSbits included!). This is something that although not avaiable out of the box in SilverStripe is quite strait forward and a great way to gain a better understanding of both the Member and Form systems. In this tutorial we are going to create a simple registration form and a page for users to then edit their details.Continue reading...
TutorialsDataObjects as Pages - Part 1: Keeping it Simple
4 October 2010 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
In this two part tutorial, I am going to show you how to display DataObjects as if they were pages. This is often very useful for times when you have lots of items that don't warrant full site tree objects, but do need to be displayed on their own on the site. In this first part displaying Staff Members we are going to keep it simple, using a Data Object Manager to manage our Staff Members and referring to their ID in the URL. Later in part 2, we will see how to use ModelAdmin to manage a Search Engine friendly product catalogue.Continue reading...
TutorialsDataObjects as Pages - Part 2: Using Model Admin and URL Segments to create a product catalogue
14 November 2010 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
We now know the basics of using DataObjects as Pages from Part 1 of this tutorial. In part 2, we are now going to look at taking this further and creating a basic product catalogue with products that are DataObjects managed via the ModelAdmin interface. This tutorial will also serve as an introduction to ModelAdmin it self, which is an extremely powerful CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) manager for any type of DataObject, whether used as pages or not.Continue reading...
TutorialsDataObject as Pages: The Module
24 January 2012 | |Tweet
It's been a while since we published the DataObject as Pages series of tutorials, which have proved to be particularly popular. At Aab Web we use those techniques regularly as a way to allow our clients to mange large amounts of flat content or content that is distributed in multiple places throughout a site. Although the final implementations in each project are often varied and bespoke, they all start with the basics outlined in those tutorials, so it made sense for us to build a starting point to work from (and include some more complex features at the same time). That starting point is this module, catchily entitled: DataObject as Pages.Continue reading...
TutorialsControllers Instead of Pages
25 January 2011 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
SilverStripe is great for working with Pages in the CMS. But what if you need functionality without the need for content or all the "data fluff," like in Aram's tutorial about user registration and profile editing. Well, believe it or not, SilverStripe is a pretty solid MVC platform, even if you're working outside of the page data objects. It took me a while to understand how to implement true-ish MVC in SilverStripe, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to share.Continue reading...
TutorialsUsing Short Codes to embed a YouTube video
28 April 2010 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
SilverStripe 2.4 has introduced shortcodes to the CMS editor. Simply, the CMS user can now add short BBCode style code to the editor area and it can then be replaced using a predefined function. For example [link id=23] could be replaced by the link to Page with an ID of 23. In fact that is exactly how internal links created in the links sidebar work in 2.4, preventing them from breaking when URLs change.Continue reading...
TutorialsUsing Translatable to create a Simple Multilingual Site
9 April 2011 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
I recently had a request to build a multilingual site for an accountant who wanted to enter content in English, Romanian and Russian, and wanted their site visitors to be able to switch languages by clicking on the image of the country flag - and I was pleasantly surprised to learn how quick and easy it is to implement using Silverstripe's Translatable class.Continue reading...
TutorialsImproving image quality by preventing correctly sized images being resized
7 January 2011 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
Sometimes you'll have to create websites for clients that are very demanding when it comes to image quality, say graphic designers or photographers. SilverStripe can be a showstopper here, since images are always being re-saved when you're using something like $SetHeight in your template. This can reduce image quality quite a lot, especially when using JPEG images.Continue reading...
TutorialsWorking with Site Config
19 April 2010 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
One of the great new features of 2.4 is the introduction of a Site Config page. This allows you to put all of those fields which are not page related, such as The sites title, root access permissions and even the current theme. The SiteConfig class is simply a dataobject and so can easily be extended to include fields, relationships and functions which you can then access from anywhere in your site.Continue reading...
TutorialsPaginating a filtered DataObjectSet
25 October 2010 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
If you have ever tried to paginate a DataObjectSet that has been customised since fetching it from the database you will have descovered that it simply doesn't work. This short tutorial provides some great code to resolve this problem and paginate to your hearts content!Continue reading...
TutorialsQuick & Easy Google Analytics with SiteConfig
24 November 2010 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
Many people need a way to monitor their website, and while it's pretty easy to add the code to a SilverStripe template, or even the basic Page_Controller, I thought I would show how I modularized and made it accessible from the SiteConfig area of the CMS.Continue reading...
TutorialsAdding an image to a blog post using Decorators and the SilverStripe Blog Module
31 May 2011 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
The Silverstripe blog module is great and its made its way into many of my Silverstripe sites. However, for most designers it is missing one vital aspect; an image field for each post. In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to quickly add an image to the blog module without editing any of it's files, allowing hassle free upgrading in future.Continue reading...
TutorialsCreate an AJAX Auto-Complete Member Search with SilverStripe and jQuery
10 May 2011 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
For ages now I have been meaning to figure out how to get an AJAX autocomplete field working with SilverStripe Objects. So when I found this great jQuery Autocomplete Plugin, I thought now would be a good time. As always SilverStripe provides all the tools necessary to complete the task without too much hassle.Continue reading...
TutorialsAdding Custom Filterable Reports to ReportAdmin
7 October 2011 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
With only the standard Broken Links Report, the report admin area in Silverstripe's CMS can feel a bit underused. In this tutorial I'm going to take a look at how you can add a custom report into the report admin section of the CMS which can make keeping track of a variety of statistics a little more straightforward.
To keep this simple I am going to give users the ability to assign a colour to each page on the site and then generate a report of any pages on the site that have been assigned a particular colour.Continue reading...
TutorialsCustom Login Form with Group Based Redirection
7 April 2009 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
In this tutorial we are going to create a system that allows the Admin to decide which (front-end) page a group of users are redirected to after login. This will be defined via a TreeDropdown for each group in the security section, and can also be set to send them to the admin area via a checkbox.Continue reading...

Gore to Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade. The Daily Beast06.27.12 4:45 AM ETClockwise from top left: Getty; AP; Getty; APClockwise from top left: Getty; AP; Getty; AP As the Supreme Court voted to uphold Obamacare, we revisit some of the most contentious rulings in U.S. history, from Bush v. Gore to Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade. Alex Wong / Getty ImagesObamacareThe Supreme Court upheld President Obama's signature piece of legislation on Thursday—even the controversial individual mandate, which survived as a tax. In one of the most surprising parts of the decision, Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the majority, agreeing that Americans can be asked to buy health insurance. The case has enflamed passions on both sides. The anti-health-care crowd argues the very fate of individual freedom hangs in the balance, while the pro-reform group hopes the court will keep the law intact to help the millions who can't afford health insurance. Either way the court rules, it's sure to be contentious. Mandel Ngan, AFP / Getty Images Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission When the conservative nonprofit Citizens United was prevented from airing advertisements for its documentary Hillary: The Movie during the 2008 election on the grounds that its critical content violated the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, Citizens United brought its case all the way to the Supreme Court, leading to a decision that continues to spark controversy. The Court voted 5–4 in favor of Citizens United in one of the most important First Amendment cases in years. In the majority opinion, the justices said preventing corporations from campaigning for particular candidates is a violation of free speech. Though corporations are still banned from giving money directly to a campaign, Citizens United has been credited with the rise of super PACs, which can accept unlimited donations from individuals and corporations to promote political causes. Manny Ceneta, AFP / Getty Images Bush v. Gore Bush v. Gore not only resolved a state vote recount but finalized the outcome of the 2000 presidential election. Al Gore requested a recount of the Florida ballots after George W. Bush won the contested state by an extremely narrow margin. About a month after the election, the Supreme Court voted to stop the ongoing manual recount efforts on the grounds that the methods being used left too much room for interpretation of a ballot and thus violated the Fourteenth Amendment. This decision allowed Bush's Florida win—and, by extension, the whole election—to stand, and he was inaugurated the following February. MICHAEL STRAVATO Lawrence v. Texas In 2003 the Lawrence v. Texas decision was a watershed moment for gay rights in America. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court struck down Texas's anti-sodomy law, finding that sexual conduct between consenting adults was protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The court reversed its 1986 decision in Bowers v. Hardwick, in which it had upheld a Georgia law that made sodomy illegal between homosexuals. The Lawrence case not only overruled Bowers but also nullified sodomy laws in about a dozen other states. Charles Tasnadi / AP Photo Hustler v. Falwell In 1983 Hustler magazine ran a parody of conservative evangelical minister Jerry Falwell, saying he had lost his virginity to his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued for libel and infliction of emotional distress. A jury awarded Falwell $150,000, but Hustler publisher Larry Flynt appealed. The Supreme Court eventually ruled 8–0 that Flynt and Hustler were protected by the First Amendment. AP Photo Roe v. Wade In the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, the court ruled that state laws banning abortion were unconstitutional and that states could not outlaw or regulate any aspect of abortion performed during the first trimester of any pregnancy. At the time of the decision, most states had severe restrictions on abortion practices. In the 7–2 decision, the court argued that the Constitution protects an individual's "zone of privacy" and that "zone of privacy" was "broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy." AP Photo Loving v. Virginia Before Loving v. Virginia was decided, it was illegal in certain parts of the United States for interracial couples to marry. Mildred Loving, who was of African and Native American descent, and her husband, Richard, who was white, were Virginia residents who married in Washington, D.C., in June 1958. When they returned to Virginia, they were charged with violating the commonwealth's Racial Integrity Act, a law that banned white people from marrying non-whites. They were convicted and sentenced to a year in prison, but their sentence was suspended for 25 years, so long as they left Virginia. The Supreme Court's unanimous decision in 1967 overturned their conviction and invalidated anti-miscegenation statutes across the country. Engel v. Vitale In 1962's Engel v. Vitale, the core issue was whether state officials could write an official school prayer and force public-school students to recite it. The Supreme Court found that the practice violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which bans the state from prohibiting the free exercise of religion. The case involved families in New Hyde Park, N.Y., who didn't want their children to be subjected to a prayer to "Almighty God" in public school. Writing for the 6–1 majority, Justice Hugo Black stressed the importance of the separation of church and state. AP Photo Brown v. Board of Education Brown v. Board of Education was really five cases on the constitutionality of state-sponsored segregation in public schools. When they reached the Supreme Court in 1952, all five were consolidated under the now famous name. After rehearing the case in 1953, the court unanimously agreed that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. On May 14, 1954, Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered the court's opinion, saying: "We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal …" American Stock Archive / Getty Images Plessy v. Ferguson In 1892 Homer Plessy was arrested for sitting in the "white" car of an East Louisiana Railroad train. Louisiana had just passed the Separate Car Act, which mandated separate cars for "whites" and "coloreds." In 1896 the case made its way to the Supreme Court, where Plessy's lawyer argued that the Separate Car Act violated the 13th and 14th Amendments. The court ruled against Plessy, with Justice Henry Brown writing, "A statute which implies merely a legal distinction between the white and colored races—has no tendency to destroy the legal equality of the two races." The case set the precedent for the separate-but-equal doctrine. Louis Schultze / Missouri Historical Society Scott v. Sanford Dred Scott, a slave, sued for his freedom in 1846. He had spent years living with his owner in the free Wisconsin territory, and he initiated his suit years after his return to Missouri and his owner had passed away. Eventually the case wound up before the Supreme Court, and the justices voted 7–2 against him. In 1857 Chief Justice Roger B. Taney read the majority opinion, which stated that blacks were not, and never could be, U.S. citizens. Thus, Scott could not sue in a U.S. court and could therefore not expect protection from the federal government or the courts. The ruling also stated that Congress lacked the authority to ban slavery from a federal territory. Many consider it to be the worst Supreme Court decision in history.

I have an 2011 CTS AWD and is it true that you cant rotate this tires being the straight factory tires that came with car and they're directional tires.
Not sure what tires you have, but if they are directional they should have an arrow showing the rotation. If they are directional they can only go from the front to the rear and vice-versa, no X pattern like the old days.
Dont know of any CTS's with directional Michelins. If you have a coupe of course you can only rotate from side to side.
The coupe has staggered tires. Rear wheels wider than the front.Quote:

I have the 0EM mich tires that came with it..back is wider then the front..so that being said you can't rotate them
You can if you have them dismounted, flipped over and switch sides. I'm not recommending this, just saying it's possible.
My 2013 Coupe came with:
Michelin-Pilor HX MXM4 Directional Tires size -P235/50R18" on the front & P265/45R18" on the rear... no rotating here.
RAB, I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say that each tire on a 2013 coupe has a different/specific part number. They may have different identifiers as required by Fed Law which relates the tire to each particular car (due to massive tire recalls in recent years) but a tire is a tire.
C "T" ess, I get what you're saying about different identifiers on tires... but what I was getting at related to what Oz Sr stated his 2013 Coupe came with, that being Michelin-Pilot HX MXM4 directional Tires, size P235/50R18" on the front and size P265/45R18" on the rear, where none of his tires can be rotated. This essentially means:
-The front left directional P235/50R18 tire, designed to turn counter-clockwise when the car is going forward, designates a given Michelin model type & part number.
-The front right directional P235/50R18 tire, designed to turn clockwise when the car is going forward, designates a different Michelin model type & part number.
-The rear left directional P265/45R18 tire, designed to turn counter-clockwise when the car is going forward, designates a different Michelin model type & part number.
-The rear right directional P265/45R18 tire, designed to turn clockwise when the car is going forward, designates a different Michelin model type & part number.
When I need to buy new 19" all-season non-directional OE tires for my '11 CTS4 Sedan I'll be buying 4 identical tires, likely at preferred pricing for purchasing 4 of them. When Oz Sr and others buy new tires for their cars they will need to buy 4 different model type/part number directional tires. I was thinking there could be a price penalty for single tire purchases of specific size/model directional tires, where each of the 4 tires being different from the other. I guess another concern I'd have is any-day nationwide availability of a given size directional tire, and that in itself could cause the price to be higher.
I think you are incorrect. You just flip the tire when mounting the tire on the rim, so the direction coincides when mounting on the left or the right side of the vehicle. He would only need two different sets of tires, a set for the front an another for the rear.
I don't think so. Say your left tire has tread pattern ABCDE with the arrow pointing forward. If you flip the tire when mounted, wouldn't the arrow point the other way, and the tread pattern now be EDCBA? If the tread pattern was symmetrical say ABCBA, then you could buy pairsQuote:

I can't find any indication that the Michelin-Pilot HX MXM4 is directional, even on the Michelin web site. There are many statements that they are NOT directional. Directional tires have two triangles on the sidewall pointing in the direction that the tire is to rotate. If there are no triangles, the tire is not directional. There are many assymetrical tires (the two sides of the tread are different) that are marked which side should of the tire should be out when mounted. Those are not directional unless they also have arrows marking the direction of rotation.
I googled this after I posted my last post.Quote:

It features lateral grooves on both sides of the tire's centerline that point in the same direction and result in v-shaped tread blocks. These grooves increase hydroplaning resistance at high speeds by pumping water more efficiently through the tread pattern. Unless they're dismounted and remounted on their wheels to accommodate use on the other side of the vehicle, directional tires are to be installed

You're not looking on the forum very hard...
With all intentions to get this thread started as maybe a general longboard chat thread...i though I would start off with my own experiences, as an honest (only slightly ashamed) novice to longboarding.
Ey, so I just recently got into longboarding. I just peeled an Original Apex 37 deck with original S8 trucks (Spring) for 100 bucks off a neighbor. I immediately put on some 74 orangotangs (Purple) and poped the bones swiss's bearings that I've had for several years for an old skate deck.
I've put 10 hours on that setup so far, and I've already bombed some moderate hills and learned my 2 hand slides at low speed. Almost ready to take them to pendulums. Despite the quality of the setup (which i do recognize is a good board), im having royal problems.
Main problem right now is that this board is DAMN unstable. I can get down hills, but its a balancing act to keep from speed wobling. Hell, i can even push with this board through the flats without having the board snake out from under me and leaving me on my ass. And I am not some dumbass who just picked up a board, I already have been skateboarding for 10 years and snowboarding for 11. Both ambitiously, so i'm pretty damn sure of what I am doing. Trucks are as tight as I can get them, but due to the construction (which I blame heavily) the trucks do not return to center position. And it takes no effort at all to tilt the trucks all the way from one side to the other, making them very very sensitive. The other problem is that it doesnt exactly feel as good as I would like under my feet. Despite the soft flex, it feels awkward due to maybe how short the board is to what I previously have ridden.
Well enough of my ranting... what should I be looking for in the future in terms of boards and trucks? I'm primarily looking for stability, comfort and slide-ability.
Thanks for reading through all of this thick text.

|Why would what others spend affect you? Living aboard is no different from living ashore as far as money goes. Some spend a lot, some spend a little. A lot to some people is a little to others. A little to some is a lot to others. It's all pretty subjective. I see this topic come up over and over again in sailing forums with no definitive answer because there is none. If you want to know how much it's going to cost for you to live aboard just work it out. Same as living ashore, depends totally on your means and lifestyle.
|Pirate's Booty
|Yep. But, there are not that many available. Some of my neighbors pay even less as they can't raise the rent that much unless there is a change of ownership - or so the office claims. The people before me in my slip paid about $50 less per month.
|You can get a 40 foot live aboard slip in Marina Del Rey for $600 a month?
|Pirate's Booty
4th Month aboard and lovin' it!
Hi guys,
I just moved onto a 1970 Uniflite 36' Houseboat and I just love waking up on the water - my expenses went a little higher than I had expected, but hey I am in Southern California and it is still sunny and warm here. Ask grandma to send cash for my birthday
Slip = $600 (w/parking, electricity, showers, water hook up, mailbox included)
Boat Payment = $500
Boat Insurance = $35 (got a great deal at BoatUS, under $400 for the year)
Pump Out = $45
Repairs = $200
Extra stuff = $50
Total = $1,430 or so (extra things are still cropping up as I go along)
But, I do not have a phone line on the boat (just use my cell) and no cable or internet. I cut out most of the extras in my life for now and just pay for food, car, etc...
Hope this helps. You should really go for it, I love going home every night to my little floating palace. I work on it every weekend, it is my "first home".
Toyboat & Smart Captain:
You guys mention insurance at $200-$266. Is that boat insurance or health insurance.
I'm not sure how you can say that it is the same as living on land in a house or apt? I'm paying $725/mo for rent, utilities avg $75, car insurance is $100/mo, gas for car is at least $100/mo with moderate driving. I plan on living on the hook most of the time as I am a photographer and I will be constantly moving docking only to take more pics on land - plus I'll have pics that I can take from my boat as well as any islands I can row to. That's how will be making my money.
I was just talking to a buddy about a guy he met here in Philly that rents a slip under the Ben Franklin Bridge - $400/mo which includes electric, cable and high speed internet. If I keep my car that's a $400/mo reduction in expenses - $4800 annually. If I don't keep my car - $600/$7200 reduction in expenses. Living on the hook reduces those expenses even more - let's say by another $200 - $800/$9600 reduction. And living in a happening section of Philly with one bar that sells nothing but Belgium beer, other imports, and micro brewery beer - AND a club that features live original music - AND a bar that has 10 flat screens withthe ability to broadcast every football game at the same time - my "entertainment" expenses are very, very high. Gladly give that up or reduce - it's hard though - there's so many hot babes here in the Manayunk section of Philly. And that reduction would be easily be another $300 per month - that's now a reduction of $1100/mo or $13,200 annually.
So are you saying that all those reductions will be offset by $13,200 in boat maintenance and repair? I can see my health insurance will cut into that $1100 by ~ $200, but are you sure about all of that?
Anyone else's thoughts? Just need to know the reality so that I have the proper game plan
And to the 25 footer - you'll really need to go minimalist - I'm going to start on a Catalina 30 at first. I figure with my reduced expenses and photo revenues that I'll upgrade after "x" number of years.
Living aboard a boat will cost about the same as living on land. If you have a big boat it will be the same as having a big house. A new house will cost less to maintain than a old one... same with boats. The only advantage may be property tax or lack of. So Ken, you have answered your own question.
CapnTerral: a 25 foot sail boat is more like camping than living aboard. Maybe consider a little bit larger boat.
|Now THIS is a thread I can get into. I'm looking to buy a used sailboat (at least 25ft) to live on within the next six months in the Pensacola area. "Much to learn, I still have."
Hi Ken,
I've lived aboard full-time on a 38' sailboat for two years now. I summer in New England and winter in the FL Keys. I travel about 3500 miles per year, motoring approximately 20% of the time.
My boat-specific expenses are as follows:
General boat depreciation: $400/month. My boat is almost 20 years old. Something is always wearing out or breaking. You also have to build in depreciation on sails, motor, and all of your systems. Pay attention to basic maintenance and you'll save big $$$ by preventing problems.
Insurance: $200/month. Shop around - prices vary greatly.
Fuel: about 150 gallons - call it $500 per year at current prices
Haul-out and bottom job - $1500 every two years. I have a full keel - takes lots of paint.
Marinas - avoid them and you'll save big $$$. Buy the biggest anchor you can handle. I live on the hook most of the time. Some areas (e.g. Key West FL, Marathon FL, charge for tying up your ding ($70/month).
Pump outs - New England pump outs are free (tip the operator $5 or $10) but FL charges ($10). I get a weekly pump-out. Don't skip this - FL has stiff penalties if they catch you with an open through-hull to your holding tank.
Water - Marathon FL was the only place I ever visited in the US that charges for water .05/gallon nominal fee.
Hope this helps,
My Cost Calculations
Per Month
Moorage: $540 (for 60ft boat) + $75 (Marina Insurance/ Liveaboard fee)
Tax: $41
Insurance: $266
DHL and Phone: $40
Electricity: $40
Gym: $40 (for long showers
Mailbox: $5
Total: $1,067
This is for a large boat in Seattle - on Lake Union.
And, of course, the cost of the boat would need to be factored in.
Hope that helps...
Very curious about expenses
Ken, while that question is more specific, the answer remains somewhat ''it depends''. You do sound like someone with economical tastes and lifestyle, and the fact your boat is small certainly helps...but over any meaningful period of time (let''s assume 1 year), significant variables can still make quite a difference.
Will you be sailing regularly and/or over longer distances? If so, the boat''s gear will wear faster and so maintenance costs increase. Will your engine be your only source of DC power aboard while primarily anchoring out? If so, that will add a bit of diesel fuel and maintenance costs (filters, lube oil) to the budget (vs. e.g. having sufficient solar panels to meet your needs). What condition is the engine in? You may not really know, as often it isn''t until one starts relying on systems regularly that problems make themselves known.
Bottom line: You may find you spend <$100/month initially, if you stay in one place and your boat starts out in good shape...or it could be more than that. As a general thumb rule, longer term (over a period of a few years plus), full-time cruisers report a boat''s annual budget typically is ~5% of the value of the boat. Boats that are used offshore sometimes will require ~10%.

As for the height creating differences in linkage pivot points or Z bar pivot points, we're back to the same thing I've said over and over again. It wont change if the correct motor mount and frame mount are used together! In their wisdom, the Chevrolet engineers not only made the motor mounts the same distance from the bellhousing, they also set the clutch pivot ball hole to allow it to be in the same spot as a SBC. I've never done a SBC to BBC swap yet (automatic or clutch) and ever had a clutch Z bar not line up, and be level.
Additionally, if you try to use the BBC motor mounts without using the correct BBC frame mounts, the through bolt wont go through. As I've repeatedly said, the mounts have to be used in matched sets of BBC or SBC frame and motor mounts.
And you continue to ignore what I said about header or exhausts clearing. I've used SBC mounts on BBC swaps in many cases, and yet to find a header, or stock exhaust cast manifold that didn't clear or had any interference issue. Regardless of Camaro, Chevelle, Chevy truck, I've not had any issue with any of them hitting, or not lining up.
As for driveline angles and vibration. The difference in the two mounts is less than 3/4", which might change the engine/trans angle a degree or so. You'd probably see more change by raising the rear axle with shackles, or air shocks, and I've never had a vibration yet from either the motor mounts, or raising the rear end of a car. I've built enough cars over the last 50 years to know how important driveline angles are, but I also know that slight differences don't create any vibration that can be felt inside the car.
You can call it offering information, but it sure looks like you just want to ignore facts. Fact is, there are all sorts of swaps done without using the factory frame and motor mounts; and that's what the OP question was asking. If he's looking for options, and wanting to know what works, then he should know there's more than one way to do the swap.
Since I can't find an "ignore" tab to click on for you, I'll simply unsubscribe to this post now. I've got better things to do than continue this back and forth thing.
but to say most hosers,eh got the Pontiac engine..
no it's not besides the point, you telling me that I'm just need to argue, nope, I replied to a person that , posted that didn't read
but it's no matter that ,that person mixes up generations of trucks..
have a good day/night.. incorrect engine/trans angles are the #1 reason for chasing vibrations..
wonder how a clutch z bar and parts work with the block in the incorrect spot..
but guess that not matter..
One thing I've learned over the years is g.m. doesn't make, tool, and stock, catalog a part unless there is a very good reason.. otherwise they'd use the same part for both app's.. Sure you can dump the engine on the wrong stands, then wonder why the clutch parts don't fit, or headers, automatic shifter linkage hitting the exhaust manifold, and such..
but no matter.. offering info is just agrue'n, I guess..
As for the mounts commanding "big money", that's just Year One. They don't sell enough of them, so they jack the prices to an exorbitant amount. Take a look around their catalog and you'll see their pricing is silly high. They charge $129 a pair for motor mounts for a SBC, that I can buy at the local parts store for $25 a pair. They charge huge money for SBC frame mounts, so as anyone can see, their prices are ridiculous. The only way I'd buy anything from Year One is if nobody else had the parts, and I couldn't fabricate them myself.
Get a look at the competition's catalogs, and in most cases Year One is way out of line on their pricing, and not because their stuff is always rare.
And yes, the 80's mounts he mentioned threw me off, but that's beside the point. The 80's mounts will most certainly work, but it depends on what time period of the 80's.
My bet and I'll know when I have both side by side, the big block ones more than likely puts the engine off center and over on the pass side, like big block mounts/brackets do to most g.m. cars..
big block trucks are not huge money, so for the mounts to command the money they do, there is a reason, and it's not for chalk mark resto's. as the trucks are not worth big coin.. I'm sure you'll have a nice tackfull reply.. again..
Hey all,
I'm wanting to drop a big block in this Chevy pickup, What can you guys tell me as far as mounts are concerned.. Doesn't have to look pretty, I just want to get this thing mobile..
Straight 6 came out, we want to install a big block..
I do have a set of brackets from a mid 80s suburban sitting around.. maybe I can hack into those.. any ideas?
Or is there a company that has them for a decent price?
going by the thread title, 67 c10 bb frame mounts
I'm thinking it's not an 80's pick up. or him having mounts from an 80's suburban, he'd not be asking..
GMC V8 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I do know what the difference is. It's the height of the frame mount, and the height of the motor mount.
But once again, you do not have to use BBC stands and motor mounts, unless you're looking to do a concours correct install, and want things to be exactly as Chevrolet made them originally.
If you just like to argue, we can continue to go over the same thing again and again, or you can read what I wrote in my reply. Geez.
Here is the thing, year one among others would have never got 100+ per side for the stands if they are the same as the small block ones, something is different.. I won't know until, and if I ever put the 489 in my truck.
I'm sure many have dumped the bbc on the sbc stands.. and if his cab is the low hump or high hump might be the difference.. again.. not 100% sure..
The gmc's got Pontiac, so those stands are out there also..
I could see the bbc stands being worth good money if these trucks were worth allot , but when I bought my stands the trucks even the top trim ones were not big money..
I don't know what the difference is exactly, but there must be one..
Depends on what you mean by "height". Yes, the BBC is a taller block, but I've never had an issue with bolting them right up to SBC frame and motor mounts. Might be a hood clearance issue when swapping SBC to BBC, as the block deck is definitely taller, and that's why Chevy used a low rise intake on BBC powered cars, to get hood clearance.
Going the other route from a BBC vehicle to a SBC, it works the same. The key is the frame and motor mounts need to be matched. Chevy used different frame pads, and motor mounts, so if you swap either direction, you need to use both frame and motor mounts from the same. A BBC motor mount bolts right on a SBC engine, but one mount is taller than the other, as are the frame pads the reverse. Can't mix them, but you certainly can use either on either engine, as long as the motor and frame mounts are kept together.
Camaros with BBC used a different heater box, and outlets were not on the engine side, but rather turned 180 degrees towards the pass. side fender. Power brake boosters were also an issue, so that was why they used a different frame and motor mount combo, to allow the valve cover clearance for removal. They even had a valve cover with a beveled rear to help clear for removal.
With all the factory did, you could still drop a BBC right into a SBC powered Camaro, by just re-using the SBC frame and motor mounts. (done dozens of them) They clear all the things GM made clearances for, and the only time there's an issue is if you use tall valve covers. Then the heater core outlets interfere, and the brake booster hits. Even the aftermarket BBC in Camaro headers bolt up, and clear everything.
This is a 427 in a 2nd gen Camaro, using SBC frame and motor mounts, with Doug Thorley headers. Had to grind the fins off the pass. side valve cover at the rear, to clear the heater hose outlets.
g.m. would not make different part # frame stands if they didn't need to.. The rule of the bean counters..
|The measurement from bellhousing surface to motor mount is exactly the same between SBC and BBC. The engine wont be farther back in a BBC vs. a SBC, just more engine forward from the motor mounts on a BBC. Chevy made the distances the same, so as to not require the trans to be moved back, or a different firewall when using either engine in the same vehicle.
The 67-72 bbc frame stands are costly, I bought a set of g.m. ones in 2002-3 when year one had them.. year one still has at least one side..
many stuff the bbc on the small block stands.. but I'm sure that causes issues with header fitment and engine angles and such..
The 73-87 engine cross member and front set up is a bolt in on the 67-72 and many do that for disc brakes, and tho not a needed swap in this o/p question.. I'm willing to bet the 73-87 bbc frame mounts/stands are a bolt in also.. can't see how they'd not.. other than them being set up for the clamshell type motormount , instead of earlier type mount .
I have both, and haven't looked at both side by side to see if there is any differences ,other than where the holes are drilled for the moutormount(rubber) ..
IIRC the straight 6 mount/stand puts small blocks tight against the firewall, and a bbc would only be worse..
Won't be near the parts to look and see what is different between the 67-72 bbc truck frame stands and the 73-87 (these are 86) ones.. for a few days, doctor appointments/etc will kill any chance of that..
|I've swapped big blocks into trucks with small blocks and not had an issue with the frame mounts. In the SBC to BBC swap, I just got the taller motor mounts, and everything fit perfectly.
|Here's a thought wasn't the 348 cid chevy technically a big block.if so was it offered in a truck in the fifties.I think the motor made its debut in 58.

Hi all,
As you have seen my Jango Fett progress.
It occurred to me, where does everybody fit there voice changers.
I have a Rom/Fx Pro unit. The mic is simple front of my balaclava, hiding the leads into my suit. But was wondering where best to fit the speaker and Rom/Fx board.

Congratulations on your purchase.
I don't think I would ever ask about a price after I made it.
Its too easy to become disappointed when you find out that Joe bought his for a third the price you paid.
You bought your first gun ... Enjoy the heck out of it and don't look back!
Whatever the price its a bargain when you consider the fun you'll be getting out of shooting and learning.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The Chemist
MSD Street Fire CDI Ignition
Fellow Hot Rodders,
I have a 1976 Mercedes Benz 450SL Roadster. I Know, not your conventional "Hot Rod". The engine is a 4.5L OHC Mercedes Benz V-8. There arent a lot of OEM performance parts, so I've had to fabricate most everything. I took tke intake, cut it in half laterally and reworked the runners, polished all the ports and built vortex generators into the runners. I also custom built the entire exhaust including headers. I worked over the heads, porting and polishing the intake and exhaust. Because this is a factory high performance engine from MB (The 450Sl is the little Hardtop/Convertable) the valves were as big as they could be made. Fuel delivery is via a nearly 40 year old Bosch "Jet-Tronic" Direct port injection. Its a hybrid electronic/mechanical injection unit. I massaged that by modifying and installing injectors from a 5.0L Mustang GT engine. I had 2 cams custom ground because you cant buy aftermarket cams for this engine. Its an old 3 speed automatic, so I designed the cams to have good low end torque and power, but mostly to perform over a wide RPM range. This car has a passing gear that will put you in the seat from 40 MPH all the way to 120 MPH. The tranny is geared for a long 2nd gear like this, so I gave the cams a wide RPM range...
Now to the subject... The original ignition was an old electronic single spark Bosch electronic ignition which worked pretty good. Almost good enough that I left it on there for quite some time. However, I recently installed a MSD Street Fire CDI Multi Spark Ignition and I can describe the performance increase in ONE WORD... WOW!!!!!
This little car weighs in at nearly 5000 Pounds, so it never was a quarter-miler, and still isn't. However this ignition increased the low end UNBELIEVABLY. The most demanding part for this engine always has been to get the lead sled moving from a standing start. Its a small displacement engine, so you don't think of a lot of low-end 0-30 MPH pulling power. However, this car is capable of top end speeds in excess of 170 MPH. While the MSD didnt increase the top end top speed, it did DEFINITELY shorten the amount of time it took to get there. Also, in 1st gear, from 3500 RPMs to 5500 RPMs this little (5000 Pound) car absolutely tears #*@& (butt). When it hits the power at about 3500 RPMs the *** end will absolutely dance. But the real difference is in that LOOOONG passing gear. From 70 MPH, you floor it and it shifts down to 2nd gear. By the time you look from the road to the speedo, you're doing 100+. If you hold it in second, it will still shift to 3rd at 6250 RPM and when it does shift to 3rd at 6250, you're doing over 130 and when it shifts it LURCHES forward and again, you look from the road to the speedo and its at 140+ at 4500 revs and the tach is just a blur. The speedo only reads 160 and at this point I don't take my eyes off the road, but at 5500 revs the speedo is pegged out and the car is STILL rocked back on its hind quarters. Unbelievable!!!
The increased performance I got when I swapped the ignition to the multi spark is truly unbelievable.
You havent truly lived until you've been 160+ MPH in a nearly 40 year old car!!
|You stole those. "Old" catalog prices were Ann 100=$180, Strip 200=$300, Pro Strip 300=$580, ICT 400=$700
|Yep, I've got a #800-300 new in box and a #800-400 in use right now. From what I can tell the 300 and 400 boxes are the same, the 400 kit just comes with a crank trigger wheel and pick-up. The #800-400's crank trigger allows you to set the distributor's magnetic trigger up as a cam sync allowing you to use the ICT function(Individual Cylinder Timing). You can do anything imaginable with this ignition. I'm always on the lookout for another NOS set, both of mine have been under $200 scores.
Ex: #800-100 w/Rev Limiter >> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NIB-H...item35a71389d9
there is next to no gain with the swap if your plugs are dry and light brown using the HEI...
cdi trades more Kv (50) for very very low milli-amps (which is spark heat intensity) and has to have multi spark to not misfire at low rpms..
hei is longggg duration spark event at only around 18Kv with .045 plug gap so there is much higher milli-amps "heat" available to light the fire....
both units operate with about 5amps input so for all practical purposes the spark "joules" are the same....
ya do want cdi with a healthy cam on the street,,,the gas is not getting "atomized" well at low rpms due to the cam,,,the multi spark does insure the fire does get lit...
|If you really want one of the best, look for the Holley Annihilator Ignitions. No longer being made, but new unused units still turn up in online auctions and ads for real good prices, considering all the features that they offer and the durability. It's sad that Holley couldn't keep this in production and crack MSD's stranglehold on the ignition market, they are the sh**. .
Lol I found my typo. Getter instead of get. I sound like Larry the cable guy. I fixed it. I was typing something else and I went and erased some other words and I missed a few letters. I have decided to get a msd to go along with everything else I have put on the truck so far. From what I have read many people like the msd CDI type ignitions and many hotrodders have excellent luck and performance with them.
Take care guys thanks again.
|Opps! Who can spot the typo?
Well I guess if I did take away the question mark that kind of answers my question on the most part on paper though. But real world results is what matters and what kind of experience I get. I might get one but am undecided yet. I have had my 350's on both trucks cranked up to 65000 rpm with no issues what so ever and no misses.
The only misses I have had is with my plugs being the culprit. I just want to get best burn on my plugs as much as possible. I am learning many things on tuning carb's and thats fine tuning not just basic and run type thing. I have my timing and distributor curve done nice and good and I just have to change out my sping in my vacuum secondary to open up a little sooner. I guess I just want to get the most out of my ignition to go with everything else. Thanks guys for your input and experience appreciate it.
|I feel that on a street engine that is running well with an HEI you will not even notice a difference in how the vehicle performs or the mileage it gets, I've done it and noticed very little from it. About all I could tell is the plugs stay cleaner if you are trying to run a too cold plug instead of the correct plug. If you were switching from points or didn't have an ignition at all and were buying from scratch I would say get a CD ignition. In your case I would find a better place to spend the money, the HEI is quite durable and fool proof, and if you are not suffereing from a miss at high rpm you are fine.
|I think that if you drop the question mark on your first question, you have your answer!
|richard stewart 3rd
Hi Eric,
The CDI system was pioneered by Tesla you know the AC guy
who saved us from Edison's DC night mare, anyway the system is a good one using multiple sparks at lower rpm's for a complete burn, & the short duration of the spark is good for higher rpm's, the short duration of the spark & the nearly instant recovery is what allows the mutable sparks at lower rpm's causing easer starts, a little more power, & a little better gas mileage through complete combustion.
PS As to weather anyone here uses one I would guess over half, I have two, a AL6 & a 7AL2, the 6 is on a stocker the 7 is for the worked engine
Can using a msd streetfire cdi ignition be helpfull?
Hello guys I am looking this spring to do some more upgrades to my 96 chevy s10. I currently have a 350 sbc carbureted motor in it now and I am using a high performance aftermarket large cap GM HEI distributor right now.
If getting a msd streetfire cdi ignition will I really benefit with better cold starts and better combustion and get a slight increase in fuel mileage and a better overall increase in ignition efficency?
Also can my hei work fine with it for long term with no issues to worry about? I know I can hook one up pretty easy after looking at the instructions but I don't know much about CDI type boxes. Anyone actually using one.

With only two legislative days left in the regular session, the Alabama Legislature passed and sent to Governor Riley a proposal that will eliminate gill nets in Alabama. The proposal creates an immediate voluntary buyout that conservation officials believe will eliminate 80% of gill nets within the first year of implementation. For gill netters who do not participate in the first year, it will prevent them from transferring their gill net license in the future, require them to personally be on the boat at all times when their license is being used, and bans all out of state gill netters from fishing in Alabama waters.
"This action is a major step forward in our campaign to ban gill nets in Alabama. Our mission from day one has been to protect Alabama's fish resources and this proposal will make a significant, immediate impact. We appreciate key members of the Alabama Legislature such as Representative Jamie Ison, Speaker Seth Hammett, Senators Trip Pittman, Lowell Barron and Pat Lindsey who labored long and hard to hammer out this agreement. We also commend Representative Spencer Collier who was a tough adversary, but also fair in helping reach a resolution that will protect our fish resources and local economy," stated Grey Cane III, State Chairman for CCA Alabama.
It appeared that efforts to ban gill nets were dead this year after the Alabama Senate killed the first 25 legislative days with a lengthy filibuster, but CCA legislative allies were able to get unanimous consent to move the gill net ban. At that point, CCA officials negotiated for more than a week with the opposition before an agreement could be reached that would significantly reduce the use of gill nets in Alabama waters. That agreement passed the House and Senate on the next to last day of the session.
"The legislature is a tough process to pass anything that has any controversy. But on the 26th legislative day, CCA members from across the state burned the phone lines up to Montgomery and backed down several legislators who tried to block our efforts. One Senator in Mobile who was an obstacle received more than 200 phone calls in one morning from CCA members. He had promised to start a filibuster, that would have killed our bill, but after he heard from hundreds of saltwater fishermen he quietly sat down and allowed our bill to move forward. That is what can happen when CCA members get active and work together to protect our fish resources," Cane continued.
State Chairman Grey Cane thanked all CCA members from across the state for their involvement in this legislative effort, but he singled out for special praise CCA members Edwin Lamberth, Chair of the CCA Government Relations Committee and Manning McPhillips, State Chairman Emeritus who he says literally spent hundreds of hours working to ensure passage of the gill net ban.
"This is a huge victory for our fish resources, our saltwater fishermen, the local economy of South Alabama and for all of Alabama. We look forward to using this successful legislative effort as a springboard to stay involved and continue to work to protect our resources, and work to improve the resources for the Great State of Alabama," Grey Cane concluded.

Our clients are asking us more questions than ever about marketing in China. So we're responding – by increasing our presence in the market, by launching our first marketing & strategy event in China, and by publishing more research on the country. In fact, today my researcher Jenny Wise and I published two new reports on marketing in China: The Key To Interactive Marketing In China and Social Media Marketing In China. Below are Jenny's thoughts on social media in China:
If you're marketing in China, social media offers an enormous opportunity: Chinese online adults are the most socially active among any of the countries we survey worldwide, and a whopping 97% of metropolitan Chinese online adults use social tools. And this isn't only driven by the younger generations — we find that on average Chinese Internet users ages 55 to 64 are more active in most social behaviors than US Internet users ages 25 to 34.
But a Chinese social media strategy is not that simple to implement, especially for Westerners accustomed to marketing on sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube – none of which operate in this market. So before you take the leap into social media in China, be sure that you:

We have recently noticed that we were not paid for last three months. This is very unusual as their wires were always on time for us for almost a decade. I got no reply from their vendor support yet (sent a couple of emails last week) and got no phone number to ask for an explanation. Anyone in the same boat?
Resolved, was a glitch in the system. Sorry for unnecessary post.
I work with it already 4 years.
I must say I am happy with it and the money always was on time.
During 2010 when I was paid weekly the money came in one day.
I have a problem for two weeks with the money.
If in past SWREG answered me max in 24 hours then these two last weeks I have to wait up to 2-3 days and the last time was even 4 days.
Right now they should pay already for two weeks so I don't have any contacts with them.
I am on the weekly plan this is why every day for me is important.
So you are not alone.
Something happen on the middle of July because my problems started exactly in this period.
I hope soon SWREG support will contact me.
If you can provide your Shop ID, our Vendor Services manager would be happy to assist you. Please send an email with this information to: email@example.com
The vendor support email queue is monitored by our staff in the United States and the UK. We appreciate your business, and regret the difficulty.
We look forward to helping you resolve this issue.
Paul F.SWReg Vendor Support
Hey SWREG support, recently I've sent you some e-mails from my vendor account and did not receive any answer. If the email queue is monitored, then it is monitored poorly! I am your customer for more then 5 years, and for the last year I am quite unhappy customer. Can you provide a phone number, or skype contact to solve some urgent questions?? Because 1 email in a day is not a support at all! And sometimes no emails at all. Send me please a private message with this info, I have a problem and your support provides no help.
swreg?? ive just heard that...
Swreg who?- The guys who reply to all the emails most promptly until the payment release date.
My experience with Swreg as a vendor in the last 72 hours has been horrible. I have been a vendor for the last 2 and a half months and they owe me well over $5,000 and the pay day was supposed to be August 15. I expected to get paid as I read many reviews about them online where people have claimed that they have been with Swreg for years. After waiting for August 16 evening when my payment had still not gone through, I sent them an email and ever since then I have just been sending them emails without getting a reply from them.
We have had an immaculate record with over 90 orders in the last 2 months with ZERO chargebacks and ZERO dissatisfied customers and all we got was our shop closed day before yesterday without any reason being given to us.
I am still waiting to hear from them with all my money stuck with them.
SWREG is total **** and after Digital River purchased it, it becomes even worse with its new ****** reports where you can not find your money and understand what is going on. And their support... I mean no support at all. No phone, no chat, not Skype contacts, nothing. They did not even repaired e-mail form in vendor account, so if you do not know their e-mail address you can not even send e-mail through their site. Awesome.
So, I migrated to PayPro system. And I am sooooooooo happy! Awesome and fast support, they even gives you personal assistant with which you will communicate. They even add new features to their system by my request, and help me to migrate my shop to them.
Swreg is a TOTAL SCAM. I registered with them a couple of months ago. They cleared my $10 dollar sale as if to look legit but when more money flowed in. They dint clear it for withdrawal saying "Unfortunately we are no longer processing payments for vendors in yourmarket category. However, this is only temporary and when we do startexcepting signups from businesses like your we will contact you directlyVIA this email.Payment will be held for 90 days to allow for any Chargeback / refundclaims." What the heck? No email notification prior to sales? no intimation? I am considering filing a legal lawsuit against them or they will keep robbing the innocent vendors of their hard earned money.
I am a vendor at SWReg from past 3 years and I must say that I am very happy from their service. Initially, they use to pay me after 45 days, then last year they changed to weekly payments. But today, I received an error "store closed". No reason given or no unusual activity by me. all my online business stands upon SWReg. I did send an e-mail to them but no reply yet. Will update you guys on the issue. At the moment, I am in shock. I have a family to support. Kids go to school and we have our daily expenses. May be, for SWReg,. it is a business decision. But for me, It is life and death. I am giving excellent quality education to my daughters and seems like that, it is all going to end. I cried today.
The beginning and ending of your post really don't add up. Are they good or evil ?
They are good, but they must provide assistance through phone to their vendors.
This company did the same to me held back over $5000 in sales
