Lovely wife and some fine lookin' boys, Andre.

Yeah, twin sparkplugs, but it ain't no Hemi.

[AG]

Thanks Mitch!
The first time I saw a double SP was in a Lincoln airplane engine.
Is it just for security or give a better combustion?
A.

[Mitch]

It improves combustion through better flame propagation. The modern Hemi uses 16 spark plugs, with coil on plug for the main, and a spark plug wire running from each coil to the opposite firing plug. In the firing order, 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2, when #1 fires on the main coil, it is receiving a waste spark from #6, and when #8 fires,it gets waste spark from #5 and so on. Better and more complete combustion means less emissions in the form of hydrocarbons and CO, and helps keep CO2 up.


Watchin' a Pink Floyd concert on QED right now. Pink Floyd is coming to the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh for an October 7th concert, and I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY!! Damn it.

Andre,

All very nice.

Rufus,

Maybe I'm the wrong generation but I don't get it.

Jon,

I want railroad locomotives.But that is a real drag.

Mitch:

You are in the same position I am always in when Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac are in the Philly area. Also the tickets are too expensive to go to a concert.

Andre, ya oughta be proud. The wife is a total babe, and that older son will soon be beating back the chicks with a stick, if he ain't already!

Classic set of pics, too.
Love the Case, and it's funky steering drum. You can see how one turn of the steering wheel/worm gear isn't going to turn the drum much. It's comical, sometimes, to see a driver cranking the steering wheel around 10-12 times to negotiate a curve. Imagine that on a car. Bet THAT would slow the Water Man and his hotrod down!



Fancier drum than this one, but here you can see the 'shock absorber' on each side of the axle, like your Case has.



And also, the steering-stops!



I've got so many plants-with-thorns to run over, I think I'd try some steel wheels someday.
