Why keep sending out "payments"? Just stop taking my money to begin with.

But this is what always happens, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Knee jerk government reactions are typically based on minor issues but cast wide enough to screw over everybody.

You may be able to get a coat hanger in to pop the door but I’m not sure of the mechanism. Maybe a google search to get the layout would give you an idea if it’s possible.

They all qualify to do stupid shit to. Some just make you feel bad when you get too stupid. :lolguy:

That was the same thought when I had mine. I just did a simple wet kit and like Wags said, I did the plate. No need for extra stuff like injectors or anything crazy. I kept it mild around 100 and I did pull timing in the tune but I also did the resistor trick on the IAT to "enable" that so it was normal timing until I armed the kit. I'm sure there are much better solutions now than there were back 20ish years ago when the only tuning solution was LS1 Edit. Just do your research and go with what you feel safe doing. Always keep in mind that it's a gamble, but you have that with any power adder.

What these guys said. On my old car though (02 Camaro) I just put on a 75-100 shot, used a resistor to pull timing and prayed the motor didn't let go. I got extremely lucky it never did but I only hit the giggle button a handful of times. You can do it fast and cheap but in the long run you'll end up buying a new motor sooner or later. I can't count the number of engines I've seen drop a few rods at the track because someone just slapped on a quick kit for easy speed.

Superb work, every time you post a pic of a dark colored car I get a wood rocket. The work you do can only be summarized by one word..... Wizardry.

Why did you blur one plate pic and not the other?

The issue is mainly I’ve been into it twice and never got it right. Tried to take it somewhere and I think he busted the carb. There are also a couple models that may work, I’m just not sure which I need. I’d rather take it somewhere and get it right so I don’t have to mess with it for a while again. Thanks for the link though, I may get one to be safe.

I’ll call and see. Thanks.

I have a MAC 3200 chainsaw that used to run great. At some point the fuel lines and primer bulb got hard and I took it to a place for a tuneup. Unfortunately I got it back worse than I took it there. He says the carb is shot but parts can’t be found. He offered to buy the saw from me for a song but I just picked it up and brought it home. I’d LOVE to get this saw running again. Any suggestions? I’m willing to make the trip for a reputable place to give me the real story about this saw but I’m not getting many good suggestions locally aside from big box stores that will scrap this saw and sell me a new Chinese craftsman unit.

Seems like the typical OEM screws are made of mush metal and the aftermarket screws are hit or miss on fitment or they work loose. Anyone know where I can get slotted screws? At least that way they can be snugged easier and won’t turn into a round hole easily. From my reading it seems people recommend slim 1911 grip screws but I’m leery of buying as the last few haven’t worked out well.

I think nimh and lithium degrade if constantly charging. Nicd like to be worked hard though. I usually get mine to 80 percent and leave them sit. Lots of good info here https://batteryuniversity.com/

How much clearance do you have on the door? From that angle it looks tight.

I still have my Walmart special but have been keeping an eye out to upgrade. Sadly there isn’t much in my area decent and if I wander closer to Pittsburgh there are nicer choices but the prices are rivaling new. Just can’t see spending that much.

Mine is similar. 70 morning 71 day (since kids and wife are out of school for now) 69 evening 68 at night In the summer i'll switch it up, but it's similar. Normally i'd let it get a little cooler in the day but COVID and people home all day now.

For me it’s less to do with savings and recovery, many like to sleep cooler. I’d drop it at night regardless if there was a savings or not.

The #1 ingredient is money, the rest are just fillers.

I’ve been meaning to add insulation, this winter just solidified that decision and moved it up the priority list.

6-2 135# when I graduated high school. Thank you.

This. I can even think of a time I absolutely NEEDED a truck and couldn't just go get one. I traded my truck in for a Jeep more for the funs than mileage considerations though. Where i'm at now a truck would be nice but 4x4 is absolutely needed. Even most cars here are AWD/Subaru/etc.
