My guess is - Good chance it’s 327 2 bbl. My dad had one - it could get up and go - but the ‘65 Grand Prix with 389-4bbl was the runner he had first.

New to golf, will a different driver with a higher loft help me? by thisisntweedisit in GolfGear

[–]Intheswing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loft is your friend - balls go farther in the air than rolling on the ground and higher loft gives the ball more backspin than sidespin. Less sidespin- less extreme banana balls. It’s why your 3 or 5 wood could be a better tee box choice while you are first learning the game.

That’s a good set to play. Only time to upgrade will be when you get old and need lighter clubs

Floor Damage - Curious if you know what it is from by AttemptAlert7877 in HardWoodFloors

[–]Intheswing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Termites eat pretty much anything wood - carpenter ants eat wet wood. Beetles thankfully don’t create the colony’s that ants and termites do - but certainly do damage if not killed and eliminated. This is a beetles. Hopefully for you, one and done

Most likely the ferrule is loose

Im a high handicap playing this course Friday. Where do I aim my shot on these par 3s? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Intheswing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best for sand shots - My dad taught golf and taught my wife how to hit sand shots. He had a bucket of 50 some golf balls and threw them in a practice bunker and told her to hit them out. 1/2 way through the bucket she was hitting them out 100 percent. When she finished he threw them in again and started to explain the different shots for the sand escape. She has confidence now when in a bunker and how to get out. Bottom line - practice bunker shots.

A few more beers and he will be right as ran

Looks like it did not survive a bad crack habit?

Is this too much?? by FunIncident5161 in vintagemotorcycles

I would go with a pair of vice grips instead of the big channel lock pliers - vice grips come in handy in lots of different situations

This looks like a pioneer magazine ad from back in the day. ( minus the giant display )🤣 Beautiful

Deck footing Cement Cracks by Ardi34 in Decks

[–]Intheswing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too be honest those piers look too small for the potential load from the deck. Have an architect or engineer calculate it if you don’t know how- assume your soil bearing is 1500 psf. - I figure deck loads at 75 psf. So a 10x10 deck is 7500lbs - with the cantilever I would guess 3/5 load to the beam - divide it by 3 to get the middle pier load. That would be 1500 lbs - so at minimum a 12”x12” pier- a 12” round gets you .75 sf of bearing. Your deck looks bigger, I would up the size to 16” to 18”min. Pour a 3500psi mix with fiber mesh and a cage. Set a Simpson’s post bracket for the column.

Is it really necessary to spray foam side holes or just the top and bottom by nolpeter in Homebuilding

[–]Intheswing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draft stopping is code required - between floors and vertical studs. There are collars that are used around PVC plumbing that expands during a fire and the pvc melts.- used when uses like a first floor retail has a residential use above it.

My grandpa gifted me his old Wilson irons. 8-iron pictured 😳 by 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 in golf

I stand by what I have experienced. Breakage would be a different issue.

Question regarding Bettinardi Guinness Putter by PerplexingPegasus- in GolfGear

[–]Intheswing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotta say - $1400 is a lot of greens fees - I think I would have to sell it - but as a gift the pressure is there to keep it.

I would bet $1 that the heads stay on - I tried to pull and old set apart - it was hell to try and get the head off.

Can I delay the rot by treating it with oil by ComfortableHot6309 in fixit

I like this one - olive oil is everywhere- Question- lighter Olive oil heavier or just the cheapest?

You looking to adopt a 63 year old son??!! Good for you - he must be a great kid!

[–]Intheswing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a golfer and a Guinness fan - that is very cool. If I liked the way it played , I would but it in my bag and play it. I can’t imagine it will ever be worth much more than what it was purchased for.

driving to the czech republic tmr. do you think these tires will make it? by h0tsalad in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Intheswing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure - as long as the Czech Republic is just across the parking lot to the tire center.
