  1. Buy a can of 100%(has to be 100%) silicone spray,spray the tracks,wait about an hour,spray again,wait about an hour. 100% silicone has a carrier that will evaporite and leaving only the silicone, windows will slide like magic
  2. the bigger and older you are,, the longer I work with a guy that had it when he as about 25,,3 days later he was back at work,,,He is 51 and 100 lbs bigger now,, had the same thing done about a last Christmas and was off work 8 weeks
  3. electrolysis,, something is grounded to the water pipes or if you have an electric water heater it has a bad elenent and it is grounding thru this pipe ??
  4. I would save those texts, in case her husband should come calling,,you could prove you were innocent
  5. mowing my grass in Feburary!!!
  6. I found this.. CWC makes camshaft BLANKS, someone else ground it and marketed it for you. They are the leading manufacturer of blanks for aftermarket grinders. I think they supply OEMS' as well. Like the moderator at Chevelles said, you will have to find someone that uses BR as a prefix on their cam grinds. You might try looking up manufacturer's part numbers at Summit or Jegs (or search the individual cam manufacturer's sites, Crane, Isky, Crow, Cam Dynamics, etc... ) to see. I agree that likely it's a 270 grind, but other than that it's a crapshoot. I'm betting the difference between the 270 and 290 is the difference between advertised duration, and duration at 0.050" lift. Chances are it's a symetrical cam profile. The only other thing I can be failry certian of guessing like this is the production date November 16, 2001! (11.16.01) You could degree it with a wheel and indicator and determine the specs for yourself, including lobe center. That would give you strong indications on what performance it would give, compared to similarly designed bumpsticks by other manufacturers. If you want hot out of the hole and not concerned about top end, stick with a relatively stock camshaft and play with advancing and retarding the timing. The difference between a Ford CJ "Purple Stripe" hot top end camshaft and one for a big block stump puller Truck is the offset dowel pin in the drive gear! Camshaft degreeing can RADICALLY affect how the car performs out of the hole. Even with a stock camshaft, down low performance will really be helped by a tweaked camshaft adjustment. If you want down low performance, go with the 400, and skip the 2.02's they are for breathing up top. The reason the 400's were such nice torquey motors was the earlier small port heads didn't flow up top, and so they had great prot velocity at the lower RPM ranges making for killer torque. Also, for the 'sound' aspect of it, again camshaft advance / retard. Our Bonneville engine sounded like a NHRA Top-Fueler when we first started tuning. Our exhaust valves were opening a little too early, and there was still residual cylinder pressure in there, making for a very harsh "Cackle". Some people actually commented our engine sound frightened them it sounded so mean! On the dyno we dialed in the cam, and the engine quieted down quite a bit, and we made a LOT more power, but it never sounded as nasty as it did originally. The sedate sounds of the car can be heard on You Tube --- Search on "9300 RPM Shiftpoints" or go to demonidcfh site and view his Bonneville/El Mirage runs.
  7. Sounds like something is in the pump,,pull it and see if there is something in the impeller..
  8. if you can get the ignition switch off,(looking at SFBMX88's post the will come off you and will have to take it off to change it anyway) take it to a locksmith they will make a key for about $20
  9. alot of fox body mustang people use them on the front for drag racing
  10. Have 1 on the way!!! Thanks Everyone
