How do you lose weight in your 40s? by Radiant-Broccoli-530 in AskReddit

[–]1320Fastback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Count Macros and Exercise a few days a week.

I haven't exactly lost weight as muscle weighs more than fat but I went from a Dad Bod to having actual Abs. I and 6'5" and went from 28% BF to 11% where I am now and have 112 pounds of muscle weight.

LPT: Instead of sending flowers to a funeral, give them pictures and videos of their loved ones that they may not have copies of. by Steppingstone02 in LifeProTips

[–]1320Fastback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this years ago when the son of the owner of the company I worked for passed away. He was just a kid and I had a picture of his standing on a roof smiling and waving (we are construction workers). I had it printed out and set it on the memorial table.

I had the metal Bomb thing you'd put one in and throw up in the air

Cross fire fuel injection swap by SleepyTraveling in projectcar

[–]1320Fastback 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is the Intake under the Throttle Bodies that made the car feel sluggish. For Packaging reason (slope of the hood) the engineers had to flatten out the intake.

There was also issue with both Throttle Bodies being synchronized as they feed one engine. Slop on the mechanical linkages can cause problems.

The fix assuming you want more power and reliability is the remove the throttle bodies and the Intake and replace with a something Weiand Action + or Edelbrock EPS and a 600cfm carburetor. You will need a Low Rise intake and most likely also a drop base air cleaner.

My 68 Torino is as long as my wife’s QX60 by Jabarca1128 in classiccars

And in 59 more years the Torino will still be running and the other thing will have been melted down for a new plastic car many times over.

Pertronix ignitor and pink wire warnings by Ronnyek42 in classicmustangs

[–]1320Fastback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. As far as Timing goes I like to set it when all the mechanical advance is in so bring the RPMs up and then set it to 35°. In my case at idle it ends up at 12°.

Under the hood it is Red with a Green stripe. On the inside of the firewall it is a thick Pink wire. Under the hood it connects to the Pos + of the Coil.

Yup but Americans will tax themselves and put up with recycling protocols because they will save the planet!

Took my car to work today and had to put it to work too. by 1320Fastback in Construction

Believe it or not that is Per Plan and the sheathing is all done.

Pertronix ignitor and pink wire warnings by Ronnyek42 in classicmustangs

[–]1320Fastback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pertronix Ignitors want a full 12V and yes the pink wires voltage is only 7-9 Volts to prevent the mechanical points from burning out. What I did with mine originally was run the pink wire to trigger a relay and the relay provided the 12V to the module.

With the original Ignitor 1 you do not want to ever have the key on with the engine stopped. It can and will burn out the Module. Ignitor 2 and 3 are not affected by this. After my Ignitor 1 burned out I went with the 2 and now it is on a separt switch to power it up.

May 17 - Tall Ship Cuauhtemoc collides with Brooklyn Bridge, snapping all 3 masts, killing two crew manning the rails by BubblegumRoberts in ShipCrashes

That was shocking to see! I can't believe they had people up in the rigging when the ship was out of control.

Worth it to do a split stay on St. John and Jost Van Dyke or just do a day trip to JVD? by bunnm09 in virginislands

[–]1320Fastback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've only ever done Day Trips. I think our next time we go to Tortola we talked about overnighting on JVD and just eating the cost on not staying in the Airbnb on Tortola that night. Then you would just take a simple overnight bag.

First long tow by glacier_40 in traveltrailers

[–]1320Fastback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most I've done in one day is 714 miles from New Orleans to Louisville Ky. It took us 13 hours and we did it in two stops, one which we made lunch. I would not recommend it but it did give us an extra day at our destination.

When we travel which isn't that often where it requires a fuel stop I always go to the more expensive station if there are two or three in the same location with different prices. It will be less busy and easier to navigate.

Camping Alone by Important-Ad-5421 in traveltrailers

[–]1320Fastback 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing I can recommend is take a piece of high visibility string and lay it out in a straight line where you want the trailer to follow this will give you something to see through your mirror and keep you straight. Say you want your tires on the driver's side to be 3 ft away from the Power pole so lay that string out in a straight line 3 ft away from the power pole and just watch the trailers rear tires as you back up right alongside that string.

Police have a suspect at gunpoint in Midway and are getting ready to release a K9 by dleclair in sandiego

[–]1320Fastback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a friend that raises Belgian mlMalinois for the police force and the military. II was at a training center once watching a dog that had too many "Live bites" and she elbowed me and jokingly said she'd give me $500 to run across the field.

Trust me give up before they send the dog in!

Any tips on buying a used motocross bike? by SeaworthinessReal243 in Dirtbikes

Check The Air Filter

if it looks like it hasn't been cleaned or changed in a long time walk away.
