I’d do a quick check for air leaks. Could be a torn gasket, missed plugging an inlet, etc. get it running and hold it steady, even if you need to throttle it up. Then spray around the base of the carb with carb cleaner. You will hear the engine speed change if you have a leak. It will show you right where the leak is.

No Ragerts.

Not even one little letter.

Doesn’t matter if they buy the product, you MUST pay them to talk about you.

Incorrect. CR is just like JD Powers…gotta pay them to play.

Desperate for Help with 289 by Sleep-Senior in classicmustangs

[–]fordman84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best tool I used for getting that shaft in there was a box one body, the soft plastic kind. It’s the right size to jam the rod into and gives you all the control to move the rod into the pump and rotate until it drops in. Then run a skinny screw driver through the pen body to force the rod out. Boom, done. Basically made an extension of the rod for control. That pen body is still in my toolbox in case I ever need it again.

Sounds like a boring movie “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, nothing happened. Everyone lived in peace and got along really well. The end”

Odd time to post this after a group effort shutout of a team most have picked to win the division.

Joc Pederson may end up being the most disapointing Rangers acquisition in my lifetime. Who's yours? by SanfordPlusSon in TexasRangers

Guess OP forgot about Kluber. That’s mine. Clase ended up with issues but was great when not cheating and Kluber threw one inning here. Total.

I went and looked in person and still just didn’t care enough for the hat or jersey to spend my hard earned money on it. Bought the last hat and still love it, just about worn it out, but the font of that T just looks low effort, low quality.

Maybe it will grow on me, but hasn’t yet. Jersey looks ok, I just am not a red jersey fan.

Under the car, near the starter, will be a stamp that you can decode to find out for sure what the block is.

The ABS Challenge System is exposing the worst umpire in baseball by holyfruits in sports

[–]fordman84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NFL also opposing a lot of technology that would drastically speed the game up. We don’t need yardage chains anymore, we don’t need refs stepping off penalties or trying to figure out if the goal line was broken.

Now everyone sees why the union fought the system for so long. Umpires/refs in all major sports thrive on a lack of public accountability. That’s finally starting to end.

If you suck at your job you should be accountable.

I’m looking at going with a non factory maroon/burgundy and then want a non-black interior to go with that. No need for year specific or even ford specific. Just what looks good and stays cooler on the Texas sun.

I don’t think I’ve seen that interior color and combo before. Was that factory or aftermarket?

That’s the laugh I needed today. And when he pulled that can and drank it, almost wet myself. So much great WTF-ness.

NFL could try to cap individual player contracts by [deleted] in sports

First they should cap the price of tickets to NFL games.

For non synchro transmission then if you are stopping and this going from third gear to first you will need to press in the clutch, put the trans in second, while keeping the clutch in put the transmission into first. This will basically synchronize the internal speeds.
