  1. I'd visit your world of bad math but there is no coffee and chocolate there.....!
  2. there are those that will say they are not equal but superior.....
  3. ah, 50 is ok if it is not wet and windy.....combine the two and about any temp gets miserable.
  4. Dang John, you folks colder than we are......sorry for the gig earlier....! Sun has set and we still in the low 70's.
  5. 3 more cubic inches.....210 HP plus a 5 speed OD on the floor....ABS brakes, air bag, full computer driven, zero emission fuel system PDB, PR&P air conditioning...list is complete.....all Mopar....
  6. as Tod said, length of the engine will come into play quickly here....firewall cuts along with what could well be radiator support relocation and altering even after the fact of moving it forward. I have done a few of these cars with modern drivetrains.....while very doable, I repeat, none are a bolt in. As you state you have the Jeep on hand, get out your tape measure and start recording some numbers. I would recommend a frame clip but that is totally your call there. The modern suspension will be worth the effort and you will get things like larger disc brakes, massive sway bars, better shocks not to mention power rack and pinion steering along with better geometry and positive caster for the overall better handling. The total package would be very cost effective.
  7. I was thinking similar, with the cooling to 60 for you would be shorts, T-shirt sandals and a dip in the lake. Me thinks John's report was more of a 'brag' 😁 Here in the south 60 this time of year is most comfortable if there are no winds. Last time I went fool and jumped into a lake was in mid January, Augsburg Germany....now I know why polar bears stay mad at the world.
  8. so was my snarky outside comment a joke.....but I do use the NOAA as it is fairly accurate or as close as any other site if I am planning a trip out of town...I would be concerned about it dropping to 60 and turning cold....
  9. my house was built in 1908.....it was about 1800 sq feet at the time....it was added onto when I got it and was just under 2500 sq feet...might I mention the work was shown many corners cut and I do not mean wall corners....will not mention the sq ft now....but I think I am happy with it now. It was for the most part a fun project....got a bit hectic now and then mainly in getting materials...this area at the time was very repressed.....it is a bit better. Carried all my supplies from Charleston SC when I did my weekend reserves duty. This place had two retails for building and they were in agreement to keep prices at a premium.
  10. you can also train either the wife or a rhesus monkey to flip the switch, my advice...don't piss off either of them if used.
  11. testing for power old fashion way.....I once accused Don Coatney of being this chap in the photo....he got a good laugh....miss that guy.
  12. from a purist standpoint...yes you would know right off...but as a driving characteristic....give me the nubs and the alignment capabilities assured with them present...you can get close with a wall and x feet from it....but I assure you, hard to beat ole Hopkins at the task.
  13. all the weather will be outside this year......lol asking weather forecasts today is almost premature even at 72 hours out...I try to follow the NOAA for my forecast area. Plug in Tim's town/Zip you may get a 10 day but mostly a 7-day forecast is offered. This is as close to accurate as I have found.
  14. well, somebody has to say it and I know you know of this, follow code per your county...work as you will be inspected if or inspection will be required. Now trying to find code for you county, good luck with that. Most just say the NEC till inspection and then they say well for this area we use/do this ***************** mostly just ask your county inspectors if anything other than NEC is applicable for your project.
  15. at a dollar difference....I can assure you that wee amount will not help educate the seller or his kid(s)
  16. only use I can think of for me to use a snow shovel would be in making a pancake Uncle Buck style.
  17. I found no issue with vintage sheet metal to modern when doing my last big project. But of course I do not mig weld and use my torch almost 98% of the time. I have a super good mig outfit.....just do not do body sheet metal as the weld is less malleable than torch and I do little other fabrication that the mig would handle as opposed to the arc welder. I am running about 12 feet of bead today with the torch. Got a good start and in for coffee and pizza.
  18. whether you are Irish or not it is a good excuse for a good meal for family and friends, mums will be busy about the kitchen for such event today and plans are to sit by a nice fire in the firepit on the patio. Have a good day everyone.
  19. Adam Sandler movie, The Waterboy....the Cajun coach....he is a hoot....lol
  20. cold, wind, snow, rain.........this is a family site, enough of the four letter words.😁
  21. Donald, page 3 paragraph 4 subsection b states: the discombobulator will ALWAYS override and take precedence....
  22. I admit it took me long time to come to terms with the word 'blower' when installed on the engine...but for sure after many years and tons of pictures...it seems most have 'blown' the hood off the engine compartment.... as for help with the posted wiring diagram....toss it and be done with it......to many wires just floating in space...looks like something Sponge Bob would have painted.
  23. this should be oriented to the rear.....as per the pics I have of my car when converting to disc brakes...
  24. while weather is out of our control...and the fact that the forecasters are not how we say 'on the nose' trying to work within the predictions do help out for those that garden and what not. Even jockeying cars about from storage to work area is largely governed by weather, at least, for me. Weather is like time.....to me wherever I am and whatever I am doing, I am always on time....gotta love being retired....except, often you gotta be a bit older than you wish to take advantage of it.
