  1. One of my other interests is inline speedskating, therefore spdsk8r (speedskater).
  2. 1974, My last year in the army, anual qualification, our company was extremely understaffed. After qualification we had MUCH ammo left over. Several of us were kept behind to get rid of the extra rounds. I ran 1800 rounds through my M-16 in about a half hour, the barrel was cherry red. The guy next to me put 2200 rounds through his in the same amount of time, his barrel was white hot. After cool down, my M-16 had a visible droop in the barrel... ...didn't matter to me, as it was the last time I would fire it (short timer).
  3. The only GM manifold I have found that works is one with the casting number 364747. It has a notch that clears the stearing box (see picture above).
  4. Davy, he completed his 4 years in July, so he is out now. He is on inactive list now but won't be called up again as he can not pass the physical. Led... Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. He is keeping a positive attitude. He knows God spared him for a reason, two of his buddies were killed. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=105091&highlight=Iraq
  5. US Army, 1972-1975. After Engineering school, we all received onion skins (pre-orders) to Nam. In the end we were split up, no one in our class went there. I was sent to Germany to the engineering platoon in a Maintanance Company. I volenteered and got assigned to ski patrol in the Alps during the winters. I know, cushy job, but I did feel the effects upon returning to the "World". My son wasn't as lucky. Marine Corp, 2002-2006. During his second tour in Iraq, he was blown up in his Humvee by an IED. That was over a year ago. For the loss of vision in one eye, burn scars, severe pain in his left arm, hip, knee, and ankle, still has shrapnel working its way out of his body, short term memory problems, and he is suffering from PTSD: the VA gave him 10% disability ($115/month).
  6. Mike, Dodge Dakota with the 5.9L engine. Mine has been sectioned to fit under my stock hood even with the 1" carb. spacer.
