What are all those switches / buttons on the gear lever for????

I've got a 12-year-old MTD mower that I kept 'cause I liked the deck -- its self-propelled, and has one lever to adjust the height of all 4 wheels. I have worn out the original 5.5HP Techumseh and for a I while ran a used 5HP Briggs that just needed a new flywheel shear pin. Later the coil went bad and I didn't have a cheap replacement so I splurged on a new engine Currently it has a 6.5HP Honda that I bought mail-order from Northern Hydraulics. It's like getting a new mower for $120.

Satellite Radio. Carl Perkins or Brian Setzer?

Found it here http://www.jeeptech.com/engine/gm151.html The jeep also uses a hydraulic clutch!

Drove from Richmond, Virginia to Austin, TX with my 3 kids, 1 wife, and a Mother-in-law. Stops along the way: Atlanta-GA, Vicksburg-MS, Shreveport-LA....ate shrimps and alligator saw a lot of pretty country. Bought a paperweight model of a Civil war ironclad battleship. In TX saw LBJ's ranch state park with Lady Bird Johnson's grave 2 days after she was buried. The tour now stops at the ranch house since she's gone and the secret service has moved out. 2 Low mileage mid-1960's Lincolns in the garage. Went to the Alamo. Whilst reading the names on the "Wall of Heroes" I am surprised at how many Texan volunteers were from the UK. Drove around and took pictures of the Dallas Cowboy's stadium in Irving, TX at about midnight. There was a (real) circus in the parking lot so they had lights on and the gates open. Somewhere between Dallas and Texarkana at about 2:00 a.m. all traffic stopped on a highway bridge for a wreck being cleaned up. Watched a Medical helicopter fly in and land. My wife decides to get out and video the helicopter. The wind blast nearly blew her off the runnning board and I thought the door would be torn off the van. Went to Memphis, TN for the V.I.P. Entourage Tour of Graceland. Saw Elvis' pink Cadillac, Ferrari Dino, MGA, Benz 280SL, and a grassmobile. Bought an Elvis refrigerator magnet. Thinking about MIKelly's shindig I was missing (again). Time to head home. Leaving Knoxville, TN on Sunday morning a tractor-trailer load of vinyl siding went off the road and wiped out one of those huge signs that spans acorss 5 lanes of hiway. Made a mess for about 3 miles in front of us, but they had some lanes cleared pretty quickly. Regular Gas prices ranged from $2.71 to $3.06. I put Premium in for the climb through the Appalachians, didn't want to ping burn up valves or pistons. It's a 1994 with 212,000 miles, and I guess no "knock" sensor in the EFI brains. One week, 2 days, 3,600 miles later, got home and ready to go back to work Monday morning. Guys, I am exhausted.

http://www.legacydiecast.com/xq/asp/id.GMP1800809/qx/review.htm http://www.twotogo.homestead.com/TommyIvo.html Here's how they connected 2 Buick V8s by meshing the ring gears and running one backwards. One transmission required (per pair of engines). I think those exotic pulling tractors use gear boxes and multiple in-out links to combine down to one common clutch or TQ converter. I have read about a silly home-built pulling tractor that had 8 Briggs & Stratton lawnmover engines connected together by chains to a common shaft. Cumulative horsepower was about 24hp. Since they are all "hard" connected they all run at the same speed, even though each has a separate fuel and ignition. One engine is started (with an electric starter motor, can you imagine pulling 8 by hand?) and turns the other 7 over until the ignitions are switched on.

I've heard that when a Cosworth Vega didn't leak oil, that meant the crankcase was empty!

WHT/RED supplies power to the other gages, so it's pobably ON in the ACC position.

I thought to myself - When I saw CASKET PLACE in a strip mall.... Or do they have Walgreens, Hearing Aids, and funeral parlors on every corner in DFW also?

Get a job now. I worked 2 jobs, 55 hour-weeks in grad school. I had to graduate, just to get a break. One job, free time to work on cars, and no school felt like a vacation.

Assuming you mean it has a bonus clutch pedal. It is Not normal. It was probably swapped because someone loved the car, but... A) lost his leg in the war did it for his wife, gf, daughter C) was a dwarf, who drove the adapted Z until he got his own Discovery Channel TV show, then traded up to a S.U.V.

Now that's a marketing GENIUS!

http://www.jmcmotorsports.com/catalog.asp?cat=early&cat0=1965&cat1=Transmission%20Conversions&cat2=Hydraulic%20Clutch%20Kits I think I've seen this before here at HybridZ.org, I seem to remember thr $450 kit price. This month's Kit Car Magazine has a story about installing the SC in a Cobra kit Note the long bracket that places the SC along side the trans, using the existing housing bolts. It is very similar to the "pull" SC used in the Chevrolet fabrication pictures in the 1st post.

Fling a spoonful of mashed potatoes on her at Thanksgiving dinner.

"Jaguar Brake Kit"?

Lefty - Billary '08! Pac-Man or Asteroids?

Brilliant! Do you think it might need a heat shield between the exh. header and the SC? looks a little snug there and melted seals would be a pain.... I know, a tiny circulator pump and radiator to cool the hyd. fluid....J/K:-)
