  1. Yep except you couldn't see through the fog. Dry Ice is frozen Co2 so you might also increase the co2 level of the air in an enclosed space. and Norm I believe touching dry ice gives you contact frost bite, not a burn. A block of dry ice has a surface temperature of -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit (-78.5 degrees C). So it can not cause a burn, however like a burn, the result is that moisture is removed from the contact area a rapid rate which actually causes the injury. So basically you freeze dry the contact patch. You want to make sure the area is well-ventilated. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, and it can concentrate in low areas or enclosed spaces (like a car or a room where dry ice is sublimating). Normal air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and only 0.035% carbon dioxide. If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air rises above 5%, carbon dioxide can become toxic. All things considered stick with water in your swampcooler.
  2. Shel the deer have been gorging 3 or 4 times a day on the mulberries. Hence the moisture, fiber, and seeds........my skepticism remains.
  3. These units depend on evaporative cooling of air through water suspended on a screen or wick. They won't work with ice till the ice melts and the moisture can be suspended as droplets in the air stream form the car's movement. So water is the deal. And yes they don't work real well in humidity much higher tha 35%, no where for the water to evaporate to.
  4. While we are naming chrysler V8's, anybody got a guess where this Poly "Spitfire" engine calls home????
  5. And Shel I am a bit skeptical regarding the conclusion by the DEC folks. Wonder where they are getting their creds. I have also never seen deer signs of any kind that look like that, so MOOSE maybe??????
  6. Wayne's sample probably wouldn't clear customs..........................As for my nose, it will stay about 5 ft 6 inches away at all times.
  7. Sent the pic to the DEC two of their wildlife biologists believed that its from Deer. The size and shape difference from normal based on the high fibre and high moisture diet. But Wayne remains a possibility.......
  8. do the valve covers have any identifying lettering Red Ram. smallest of the bunch for Dodge Fire Dome the Desoto Version and Firepower the Chrysler version
  9. light oil for the dist. there should be a little wick thing that rubs on the point cam. there is also a small oil deal with a cap on some of them. there is also a covered oil hole on the rear of the genny. The water pump can be lubed with waterproof trailer bearing grease or outboard lower unit grease. Just don't over lube it as it will push the seal out.
  10. Well now I guess we need to know if you're talking about the vehicle frame or the frame for the convertible top........
  11. the switch is a toggle located on the underside of the lower edge of the right side of the dash below the fuel gauge. you may have one alreadt.
  12. Hmmm isn't brake fluid hygroscopic??? Doesn't water in contact with steel in the presence of air cause corrosion? Wouldn't corrosion cause friction which might add to squeeking? I thought general purpose grease was the factory spec for lubricating front suspension and steering wear points.
  13. the leading cause of pinion leaks is a plugged vent on the top of the diffy. The bolt that hold the brake line spliter fitting, is hollow with a bobble head top. If the top don't bobble it isn't venting and the pressure build up from running temp needs to get out some were. If it finds a weal seal it will go there and push lub with it. Find tha sucker clean it up and I bet that the problem lessens considerably.
  14. Have you tired running it with out the thermostat? Do you know the condition of your internal water distribution tube??? check the maing page for a description of the tube and why its important.

    Wiring

    Fuse block???? We doneed no stinkin fuse block. The headlamp switch and the main circuit breaker aren't enough for you???? I looked at a basic model T street rod wiring harness kit last year, I believe it had a ten circuit harness with a couple plug ins for accessories. Should be adequat for a lightly optioned truck. I forget whothe vendor was but a internet search shuld show a few options.
  16. please explain what happes when it over heats. How soon after start up, this a new problem or something that just popped up. Are you loosing coolant? how hot is hot have you checked with a know accurate thermometer?
  17. resister plugs should be .035.
  18. Pulled mine (AC 45) this am to clean and check the gap. After about 5000 miles, they looked like the just came out of the box, although the gap had opend a bit to .27. Reggapped them wiped off the outside and put them back in.
  19. I took some pics to mail email to the DEC, now I will grace the forum. I'll bet some of you others don't know $#!+ either. the mullberry is about a half inch long. The subject is one of several of the same characteristics, all containing evidence of the fruit of the day.
  20. Jumper the field coil terminal to ground with the engine at a slightly high idle. If the genny is working the geny should show full charge on the ammeter. If the amme meter pegs, the problem is in another part of the charging circuit. regulator connections, grounds etc.
  21. Bran flakes no doubt after raiding dumpsters and garbage cans...............
  22. Check your sway bar mounts. A bit of silicone spray might do wonders.
  23. Hey Rodney, if you need a good laugh, go to the nearest NAPA, find the youngest looking counter person there and tell them you need to buy a points file. They do have them on one of those irritating cardboard and blast proof plastic packages for about a buck fifty. But tell them you on a scavenger hunt and don't know much about them other than it is some kind of tool.
  24. Use whatever works for you, and of course your engine. I am running a distributor from a 54 Dodge pickup in my 56 engine in my 46 car.
