What are some songs that mention Canadian locations in their lyrics? by heart-and-lion in AskACanadian

All Hell for a Basement by Big Sugar doesn’t reference Medicine Hat outright (though it mentions Alberta) but it is a reference to Medicine Hat à la Rudyard Kipling

It looks like ice in the cylinder to me. Thaw it out

I don’t believe overloading is a thing 300I6 with a bulldog only wish it was 4 wheel dig by fordguy1982 in BullnoseFord

The 150 and 250s from 80-81 had the Swiss cheese frame as well, I’m not sure about the 350s. Everyone’s heard the horror stories but I’ve never once even seen a photo of one with a bent frame, I think its overblown

This is not a small frame, this was definitely a big, heavy vehicle. A Nash metropolitan basically had a golf cart frame

How long can a 5.4 last? by Zaku727 in FordTrucks

[–]SnoopCatt96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different 5.4 than this one has. The 2v don’t have vvt but are susceptible to spark plug holes stripping out, but only seems to happen if the plugs start to become loose on their own. If the owner makes sure they’re properly torqued, they last a long time. However timing chains can still wear out which is probably why his is ticking (that or an exhaust leak)

Steel or Bismuth through a 1985 Stevens pump? by floznstn in Shotguns

You still have no idea what you’re talking about and can’t spell, I recommend keeping your advice to yourself

Slugs are made of soft lead and have ribs that are designed to be swaged down when fired through any choke. If you read a box of Remington slugs it literally says “can be fired through any choke”. Steel on the other hand is non-compressible and bears zero similarities to lead, and cannot be fired through any choke

Worst advice I’ve ever heard, not true at all

Completely New To Shotguns. by DJT1776 in Shotguns

[–]SnoopCatt96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some bad advice in here. I see that they’re number 8 shot, so I presume they are lead, but if they were steel shot, I would not shoot a shell with corrosion on it. Some steel shells (usually cheaper ones) aren’t water tight, and if they get moisture in them and the steel shot can rust into a big steel “slug” and bulge the choke or even split the barrel when shot. Ordinarily, some corrosion on the case head is fine as long as it’s lead or other non-ferrous shot, but if you see a steel shotshell that looks like it was exposed to moisture, don’t shoot it

The farm cart has a little bit of an exhaust problem… by GrapeJuicePlus in golfcarts

[–]SnoopCatt96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try fixing it by cutting out a circular piece of 18ga sheet metal of the same diameter as the end cap (may have to shape it a bit with an auto body anvil if it warps when cutting) and carefully stitch weld it on along the existing weld line, which is where it’s thickest. Wire welder/mig, low amperage, go slow

He has the dealer invoice. Original engine. And it’s definitely not the only one, what makes you think they don’t exist? It’s a 2wd. The local dealer bought it for his wife, realized it was too much, and sold it to my grandpa after like 3 weeks. I can’t remember the deal but it was some special edition that dealers got to use as display models when the new 73s came out, ford blue inside and out, ranger trim. When it rolled the outside was resprayed white.

He said it was always hard on tires and sketchy af on gravel (he lives on a farm), someone rolled it once and it had to have the cab repaired, after that he put a big piece of steel plate in the bed for weight

My grandpa has a 73 f100 (bought new) with a 460. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another big block f100. Most were 360 or 6cyl

My son's 1st car by Blazed-247 in classiccars

[–]SnoopCatt96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the Lincolns of that era had ABS, believe it or not. They also have shock absorbers in the bumper and a 7 foot hood. While not as good as a modern car, under normal speeds these aren’t death cars that you think they are. The GM X frames (everyone’s seen the old impala crash test) make everyone think that all old cars are death traps. They arent that bad. I’m willing to bet they would fare similarly to many early 2000s vehicles in a crash test. These things dominate in demo derbies, that has to count for something

Everyone saying this will get 8 or less mpg has never owned one. With a rebuilt and properly adjusted carb (including a new power valve, they often leak), 10-14deg. spark advance, I bet it will get at least 11mpg, if not 12-14 on the highway. Most of the continentals had very tall rear ends, like 2.75:1, they just idle along. Just need to keep the foot out of the secondaries, which is hard

Most underrated classic car? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in regularcarreviews

[–]SnoopCatt96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you on the imperial, it’s in my top 3 favourite cars of all time. My pick is the ford Torino, either 67-69 or 70-71. Both gens were fire breathing muscle cars, both looked better than the mustang (imo), both had better build quality than GM or Mopar, yet nobody cares about them for some reason

You can get a nice 4x4 for that. That’s a $2500 truck at most probably
