  1. Not really, just that seeing it during the "day" courtesy of the eclipse is fairly unique.
  2. The last eclipse we had, I was in the middle of. Doing the same thing I did then, whatever, not planning on doing much, if any observing. Seen one, seen them all and I saw my first in middle school. The only even moderately interesting things is that there is also a comet and you might be able to see it during the eclipse, maybe even it's tail, if the stars align, pardon the pun.

  4. There might be a radiator shop near you than can clean and test it.
  5. I don't like more than .1-.2v drop, especially on a 6v system.
  6. No idea, service manual doesn't say and the parts manual only shows a standard and heavy duty option, no rates given.
  7. Dude, you need to proof read. There is no 260 magnum engine. Do you mean the 360? If it's a magnum Dodge called it a 5.9 Magnum, not a 360. Damned metric system.
  8. Err, denatured alcohol, at least these days, usually has "wood" alcohol in it (methanol). Back during Prohibition, same time frame, the use of methanol to make denatured alcohol was mandated by US law. These days, there are other options used, so check if you are going this route.
  9. Or flush it with a hose to make sure you get it all. The paint issue isn't what's called corrosion and most definitely was not what I was talking about.
  10. For $43 I bought this. It does everything you need it to do for automotive electrical work. Including dwell and tach, How cheap do you want to get? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002LZU7K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  11. Except dwell. An automotive multimeter has that though,
  12. DOT 2? I wouldn't even know where to get it. None of the brake fluids are corrosive, in and of themselves. It's the moisture that gets into them that can cause issues. Which is why you are supposed to flush them regularly.
  13. Odds are it's a reinforcing wire in the sand core, kind of like rebar in concrete. There to keep the core in one piece will after the casting cools. The sand comes out, the wire does not.
  14. lol, it's a pet peeve of mine when people use breaks when they mean brakes. Guess it's a pet peeve when they do it the other way too. Of course, I have a half dead 9 year old keyboard in a 14 year old laptop and fat fingers, so I typo the heck out of things.
  15. Wow, I used to deal with tubes in the Navy, but we didn't use mechanical vibrators, no need we had AC. So that issue never crossed my mind.
