There was an open-source chunk of software like that for the IBM Thinkpad T-series laptops(they use 3 of them for hdd protection from free-fall, bumps etc)... I had a copy once but can't find it, and the project seems to be gone off Sourceforge. The iPod/phone, G-tech, IBM T-xx, and Wii all use the ...

neither system works that well I respectfully disagree; your system doesn't work for beans if the majority of treatment options are not available to the majority of people. Our system works well. Does it have problems? Sure. Could it be improved? Absolutely. But it DOES work. if people REALLY want ...

My best friend (best man)'s uncle had a malignant tumor the size of a large plum near the brainstem. The first operation got most of it, and bought his family 4 years of time before the seizures started again. He was in for an MRI within 6 hours of that seizure, and Manitoba Health had him on an agg...

Funny shit, she must have called me for ten months after we broke up. "Hey P8ntman442" "What do you want?" "You'll never guess what I just snorted up my crotch-nostril!" "Yeah, about that. I hope you like cold-sores" "..." Problem solved. :salute:

<--- Unimpressed.

If you cut out the weasel words, strawmen arguments, and circular logic, you basically end up with a 5 second list of names and places.

I want my 5 minutes back.

Ok, fair enough... Except that now you're starting to imply chaos theoreticals here... Real butterfly-flapping-wings shit; with differences so small as to be un-measurable, having measurable effects on the outcome. So tell me, has anyone tried adding RIDGES to the quench area--funneling to a point--...

I think what BBF needs to tell Mach is that the groves provide a greater area for a higher pressure zone to transfer to a lower pressure zone from the squish to the plug. the mixture under the grove and inside will be at the same pressure/velocity but more volume will move through the grove and you...

Anyone that's worked on Jags before will appreciate the irony of putting a borg-warner built T56 behind a Jag 4.2 :salute: I found the RPO codes for the 3 that I'd like; The M12 from the GTO/CTS-V/C5-Z06, the MZ6 from the Vette Z51, or the M29 from the 93 6-spd Camaro/Firechickens. The differences a...

What he won't answer is how the air being expelled from under this quench pad is being convinced to take the path of greater resistance and pick up enough speed relative to the rest of the air under the quench pad to force the rest of it to change direction and flow directly at th...

Is that trans using the adapter plate for the spread-bolt bellhousings?
No idea; it's the pic from Hawks Third-gen advertizing a 6-speed conversion for earlier Camaro/firechickens... I'd assume it's for standard iron-block SBC like the 305s or LT1s

I'm wondering if Skip-shift is electronically actuated by the ECM?

If so, it's likely just a solenoid, and can probably be pinned open/closed. I'll do some digging. :salute:
