I always wondered about that myself.... I mean, seriously, here is a country that has TESTED nuclear weapons (although, not precisely 'successful'), has tested long-range missiles, and has announced they are going to be targeting the US, and our allies..... but, I don't hear anyone calling for a war against north korea?

Iran, on the other hand.... is enriching fissile materials for a nuclear program we know they have. (power plants and such), they have NOT tested a weapon, and have maintained all along that they are NOT working on weaponizing their program. There is zero HARD evidence that they are even considering a nuclear weapon, yet, all the war-mongers are up in arms screaming about how we should go to war there?

Seriously? WTF????

 

I once bought a '66 Biscayne station wagon for $50.00. I bought it in the spring and replaced the 2 speed transmission in it then proceeded to drive the hell out of it. Only low gear worked in the power glide when I got the car. No reverse or high gear. It was a pig on mileage driving around in low all the time. It had the 283 V8 so it was nothing spectacular but it got decent mileage {with the different transmission in it} for such a big vehicle.

It ran decently and I could haul a lot of stuff or people with it. When the cold weather came the speedometer would make a strange noise and read erratically until things warmed up. While it was making the weird noise it would also clock lots of miles on the odometer. I wasn't particularly worried about the excess miles but I did wonder if it was something in my junk yard transmission that was causing the problem or if it was the speedo cable or the speedometer itself.

I disconnected the cable from the back of the speedometer and packed it with grease. If anything this seemed to make it worse. Over the summer it got better but would still, on a cold morning, make some noise.

The next spring when I was on a trip to the junk yard for other parts there was a '66 Biscayne 2 door sedan sitting there so I snabbed the speedometer and cable from that. I didn't get around to putting it in my car until after the weather turned cold again. Just didn't think of it I guess. Once I put the different speedometer in the noise and weirdness stopped.

I drove the car for an additional 80,000 miles with just regular maintenance. Of course I was always buying used tires for it so I went through a lot of those. Only did the breaks on it once.

I am pretty sure the speedometer in your PT Cruiser is all electronic and there is no actual speedometer cable in it. My HHR has that. Something must be affecting the electronics in the thing. Could be the sender on the transmission.

 

^^ Politics. That's all. IMHO I think Barack wants to destroy America and make it Muslim/Communist. (No offense meant to anybody). I could very easily be wrong on that so I won't argue my thoughts or hold it hard and fast. So don't rant on me...

It got cold out... 10* outside. Brrr. Sposed to be 40 tomorrow, let's hope so. the internet has gone flakes too... And 3 hard drives failed on the server, three are being sent too...

 

North Korea is a little pissant.
We've had problems with the Iranians since the 70's.

And I don't think Obama wants to turn the US into an Islamic republic, I think he's be much more happy as a fascist dicator.



ANYWAY!
tech, get your *** back to work on that damn 5 speed conversion!

 

Anyone here know anything about Monitor Stoves? Specifically the GF 500 propane monitor stove...

 

NK can't seem to pur p!ss out of a bottle. They are rattling their plastic swords for self relavance....

Muslim? Communist? How about corporatist? Even the Cold War LIES about the Commies were more lies than facts. Kind of like the WMD issue in Iraq. O is more Centrislt than left, it is just that some on the right have gone extreme right. Oh, and I am a registered Republican.....before anyone twists off. But I am also well schooled in politics and public policy...


And our problems with Iran started in the 50's when our CIA and British Intelligence (or lack thereof) decided to overthrow their democratically electric and popular government, and we set up the Shah of Iran to rule....because this puppet agrees that he would give us their oil. See, the problem is, they have generational memory and we do not. And we never ask why they hate us....because we want to believe that ignorance is bliss, and that we have the god given right to impose our will anywhere int he world. And facism is military supported corporate governance.





PM me your e-mail address and I can send a manual to you....

 

dodge dude94, I AM working on the 5spd conversion! If you could get me a shift lever and tranny mount, I could keep working on it...
