I have a 74 GTO (x-body) with tubelar upper and lower control arms and QA1 adjustable coil overs on front, I am looking at buying some 17in wheels for it but i am not sure of the offset/back space i should get and i also want to put the widest tire i can fit in the rear with no rub issues, i am not opposed to rolling the fender lip if need be any suggestions or help is appreciated!
you could use wire to simulate a tire and wheel with the car on jack stands. some tire shops have a tool for this or you can by one.

76 455/4spd TRANS AM69 GRAND PRIX 455/5SPD
Not many guys in here have X-bodies but quite a few have Fs. I had a 71 Ventura II, which is like yours. I had 15s on it with 235/60s, sold it to a friend who put 16s on it and ran 225s (burnout city). Neither of us tried to max out tire size on it but-Don't expect the same size wheel/tire to fit the same from car to car. Meaning there can be a great deal of variation between "same" bodies.The lip may need a little work, but limiting clearance on the inside is the leaf spring (if not the inner wheelwell at inner front tire edge). On the outside, its the outer wheelhouse above the center of the wheel opening. Often guys clearance the lip but still rub on the outer wheelhouse. Ride height is a big player on that one. Back space needs to be 4-5". Closer to 5 is better, when dealing with 7 or 8 inch wheel width. I don't think you'll have much luck getting a 275 mm width tire in there without major mods, so I would make 255 width my goal.As ROWSLEY said, its best to measure your individual car first. Or start with swapping friends' tire combos on there to try.
If you want the widest tires you can fit, first forget the tall rims - Go with 15's. 10" wide rims out back with 295 BF Goodriches, standard fronts with 235/15's.You'll need gas or airshocks to prevent the rub, and carefully measured and placed traction bars if rear wheel hop is a problem. The tires will stick out a few inches, but unless you have a narrowed rearend you'll have workable "big tires" without offset/backspace concerns.
You won't know for sure what fits until you try it. Also, keep in mind that different brands sometimes have slight differences in sizes. Two tires of the same size may vary slightly in actual size from brand to brand. Some tire manufacturers must measure their tires a little differently, and some of it also probably has to do with design.In any case, what I would do is acquire several different sizes. Go to local shops and ask if you can take some used tires. They might actually welcome you, because often shops have to pay for tire removal. I know we do. The tires just have to hold air to give you a "mock up" - just something to get you an idea of what you might be able to fit back there. Maybe get 245, 255, 265 widths. Focus more on the width. Once you establish the width you can squeeze in there you can deal with the height. I assume the car has 15's on it now, which is a pretty popular size. You shouldn't have problems finding tires in that size. Once you find the width and the height, you're all set. Say for example you discover 255/60/15 fits well. That equates to 255/50/17, that is, they're both 255mm wide, obviously, and 27" tall. You can use an online tire calculator to play with the sizes.Like Brazil said, air shocks are nice for easy height adjustment to accommodate taller tires. Also, when choosing the tire height, keep in mind your final gear ratio and rear gear. Depending on what you want to do with the car, you can use the tire size to dial in the cars desired rpm's at various vehicle speed.

any of you guys want some air shocks! i think i have 3 sets!! the problem with air shocks is keeping air in them. other wise you cut up 2 130 dollar tires and your car corners like crap when it's jacked up high enough to clear the n-50s!some of the bigger tire shops will let you try different tire and wheel combos.you will most likely have better luck on a nova or x body form.my friend has a 68 firebird with 17x9 4.5 back space. 235/45s in front and 255/45s in rear. the 2 cars have the same sub frames and rear axle width. only the rear quarters would be the big difference.
76 455/4spd TRANS AM69 GRAND PRIX 455/5SPD
Yeah the air shocks are not my 1st choice, they do leak down. And the tiny plastic tubes that blow them up have to be routed away from the exhaust, or else instant schooooooooooooooooooooo - clunk clunk, rip rip. I haven't heard about Koni's for a while, they used to be the thing in the 80's.
I hear mostly bad things about air shocks, like how they leak down and don't ride well, and so forth. Yes they can leak down sometimes and yes they can be rough when you pump them up to 120 psi, but the leaking down is not a big deal and with moderate pressure they ride quite well. My Dad put air shocks on our '69 GTO some 25 years ago. We never had a problem with them. We had to air them up every once in a while, maybe as often as you air up your tires, about every oil change, no big deal. I had one incident when something in the trunk hit the inflation valve and busted it allowing all the air to leak out. But, just don't mount the valve in the middle of the trunk floor, LOL c'mon Dad... hahaha

Ha, yeah maybe not the best spot!My '79 Trans Am's have a convenient hole, just the right size for the valve. It's on the section of frame that holds the back bumper on, just behind the license plate.I've kind of gotten away from the widest tires in favor of the more stock look, but sometimes that extra traction is helpful..
Right on, Braz.Just figured I'd throw this in... I am putting some air shocks on my truck. I am planning on putting the valve behind the gas tank door. That way it is well protected!

Batteries in Dothan, AL
There are few things more frustrating than sliding behind the wheel, turning the key and hearing the engine turn over too slowly to start…or worse yet, hearing that discouraging "click…click…click" that means that the battery is completely discharged and you aren't going anywhere.
Automotive batteries are rechargeable, and just like any rechargeable battery, they can only undergo so many charge/discharge cycles until they can't effectively retain a charge anymore. And unlike the rechargeable battery in your cell phone or your laptop, the battery in your car is subjected to extremes of heat and cold that are pretty damaging. At sub-freezing temperatures, your car's battery can only deliver a fraction of its rated cranking power.
Add to that the fact that today's cars put a bigger drain on electrical systems than before, and it's not surprising that even many good-quality batteries fail before the end of their warranty period.
Tips on Battery Service
A dead battery might not always mean a battery that needs to be replaced. These are a few important things to bear in mind when it comes to battery service:
- Corrosion can build up on the posts and battery cable clamps of any battery. It will appear as a greenish-white fluffy deposit, or can even look like a glassy buildup. Corrosion can prevent a battery from receiving a charge or delivering enough current to the starter to start the engine. Corrosion deposits can be cleaned with a wire brush and a special grease that prevents future buildups.
- A battery that isn't charging properly can also be due to a failing alternator that can't deliver a charge back to the battery, or a loose, worn drive belt for the alternator. Dim headlights that get brighter with engine speed are a sure sign of a failing alternator, not a battery problem.
- Crankcase oil gets thicker in cold temperatures, making it harder for the battery to turn the engine over. That's one of the things that puts extra stress on a battery in the winter.
- Car batteries are composed of lead and acid, and are extremely hazardous. When you choose a replacement battery at Road Mart Tires, you can rest assured that your used battery is going to be recycled safely, rather than going to a landfill.
Has your battery been a little weak lately? Turning the engine over slower and slower? Don't get stuck needing a jump-start! Make an appointment with Road Mart Tires and let us help.

Oh, and it has a hidden feature…
Sweet! When you double click it, the visualizer changes styles. There are two styles. PEACE !!
WOW ! This looks great!

SonicSight, Are you implying that you have already noticed the improvements and updates to the newer, lighter and more stylish larger audio player on AudioJungle? If so, why are you asking? Hmmm.

Wall Mount Flat Screen Question
My TV wall mount kit arrived today. It measures 20" x 9". My bedroom studs are 24" on center.
I was thinking of mounting a piece wood measuring 25" x 10" x 2" to the wall using 3/16 lag bolts, then mounting the kit to the wood. The wood would be attached to 3 studs, the kit would attach to the wood on the ends, the wood and center stud in the middle. Whatcha think?
If your studs are 24" OC, how can you attach to three of them with a board no longer than 25"? It sounds as if you can, at best, attach to two. Not that this sounds to be a problem to me.
You also have a 2" thick board! I don't think I would waste that here. Besides, why add that additional thickness if you don't have to? If it were me, I would use 3/4" plywood, attached to the studs. I would size the board to be only wide enough to go between two studs, but at tall as I could make it and be visually obscured by the TV.
The extra height would add resistance to any torsional (twisting) loads that the TV and mount would apply, if any. The thinner (less than 2" at least) board would be less prone to those types of loads, as well.
I would probably not use lag screws that large. I prefer to minimize the size of holes that I drill in my house structure. My tendancy would be to use #10 or #12 screws.
You did not state the size and weight of your TV, but I am assuming it is typical flat-panel, somewhere around 50".
Unless this is an extremely large and heavy TV, I think this is all unnecessary (especially for a bedroom TV).
If you could get a pair of 1/4" lag bolts into the center of 1 stud you are good to go, simply use some toggle bolts on the outsides of the mount to give a bit of extra support.
I've hung dozens of TVs for customers using 1 stud without any issue. After you have those lag bolts in give the mount a pull, you'll see how solid it is. You might get a bit of deflection if you pull the mount away from the wall on the opposite side that the stud is on, but that is what the toggle bolts are for, to hold it tight in position.
Thanks for replying....yes, it is a 46" LCD

A place for kids to jump around may soon deflate.
The President of the Maine Jump on Hogan Road, Ryan Hatch, said attendance has been dipping over the past few months.
The play place is for children 12 and under and offers things like bounce houses and obstacle courses.
In July, the company finished a $200,000 renovation.
Hatch blames the lack of business on a sluggish economy, although he also admits there may have been some management mistakes. "To put it in perspective, before September and over the last three years, we do about 15,000 people a week. After September 1st, we're at about 400-600 and the numbers keep dropping," said Hatch.
The president said he doesn't want to see his business turn into another vacant building.
If the numbers don't improve, the Maine Jump could close for good in November.

engine/tranny swap
Im new.
I bought a 1972 chevelle with a orig 350 and an auto tranny.
It is a real dog, No power.
A friend has offered me a good deal on a rebuilt 389 and auto tranny from a 65 GTO.
How hard would it be to swap this power plant for the other?
How good of a deal is he giving you?You can bring a SBC to life for very little coin man.Other than that just take measurements of all the mounts distance and check against yours.Never swapped anything into a chevy that wasn't a chevy.
you tell me
rebuilt everything with 1000 or so mile's
asking $900
no carb
That is not too bad. But I do not know exactly how much of a pin the swap would be,as I have not done it.I would not think it would be too awful hard,should probably be about the same.But I am just not sure.You could take that $900.00 and throw in your engine though and wake it up.What is your engine set-up as of now?
Take those $900, buy an intake, new cam, port polislh the heads and get some headers. Rebuilt your carburator and dress the engine up a bit. This way you keep originality and you can waken that mouse up a bit.

Why Worry
Dr. John DeBrine interviews Jerry Rassamni about his book "From Jihad To Jesus."
Dr. John DeBrine's message today is entitled "No Apology Expected."
Easter is a strange mixture of the cute (bunnies and eggs), and the brutal (trial and execution). It's hard to wrestle both into the same story, so we tend to focus on the fluffy and cut out the gripping. Easter Uncut doesn't. Ignoring the bunnies, it takes readers to one man's account of a week of his life: a week of great plans, shattered dreams, nightmare scenes, and renewed hope. This book is great for believers to spend some time meditating on the events of Holy Week, but it also serves as an amazing witnessing tool and an opportunity to sit down with neighbors and friends and show them the meaning behind Easter. We are making this book available to you as a thank you for your support of $25.00 or more to the Songtime Ministry.

Identifying a Possible DDJournal Entry: Sat Jan 26, 2013, 2:46 AM
Welcome to WritersInk's latest feature: Editorials Our editorials will discuss issues which affect writers generally, as well as dA Lit specifically. First, we dive into Daily Devaitions (the links above will be enabled as articles are published!)
With so much variety out there, it can be difficult to know what makes a piece good enough to receive a Daily Deviation (DD).
We've put our heads together with the Literature Community Volunteers (Lit CVs), to come up with some advice on what makes a DD stand out. This isn't a definitive list, nor does it guarantee that your suggestions will actually get featured, but it should help you better understand what sets DDs apart from the rest.
Emotional Reaction and Wider Appeal
Possibly the most defining feature of all successful DDs is how they connect to the reader. Reading is often a personal and intimate activity, thus the emotional connection between the reader and literature varies. At some point though, we all form a connection with what we read. In the words of Nichrysalis:
"Writing should resonate on an emotional level, as art does, whether it entertains, saddens, or shocks. If a piece resonates with me, and I see that it resonates with others as well, it is much more likely to be featured."
Subjects of emotional interest may be memoirs, accounts of personal experiences, or pieces with a deeper meaning or message. Works of fiction also form powerful emotional links with readers. Stories that reach out and touch the reader in some way, be it in a good or perhaps even shocking or bad manner, are great DD material.
Remember that personal connection is not always enough. The work of a friend my be "nice" or "enjoyable" but would it appeal to more people than you? Loving a piece simply because it appeals personally to you or a small group of close friends may not be enough to make your suggestion stand out. Always look for a broader emotional attraction.Originality
Originality is attractive, and there are times when emotional attachment is evoked simply by the innovation of idea alone.
Remember that originality does not have to come in the form of a totally new idea or subject, it can be in the form of taking something well-known and presenting it in a different light or voice.
"I want the piece to grab my attention and make me interested in some way. It could be subject matter that sparks my interest with passable writing style, or it could be the style itself that makes it interesting, etc." - thorns
Originality doesn't have to mean completely unique either - it could just mean less common. Sometimes, a genre or form that simply does not appear often in features is what our Lit CVs are looking for. For example: neurotype would love to see more essays and non-fiction showcased, and Nichrysalis and BeccaJS would really like to see more fixed form poetry, as well as micro-reads.
"For me, poetry needs to have grounding to it- a sense of earthiness and root- I don't like whimsical floaty poetry that has no real meaning or connection. It's not just about emotion and expressing your feelings- it needs a little more than that. " - BeccaJSWriting Style
The last, but by no means least, important points to consider when looking at a promising piece of lit are spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPAG). While DDs are by no means meant to be perfect, spelling and grammar are obviously important in the world of the written word.
How a piece is presented to the viewer is a vital factor to consider when selecting suggestions. When it comes to formatting, ask yourself one question: Is the lit presented in a manner that makes it comfortable to read? Prose should be written in clear paragraphs - either indented or separated by an obvious line-break, and dialogue should be clearly visible and not merged into walls of text.
Useful Guides
More helpful writing guides can be found in our Writing Resources folder.
The How To's of Dialogue: Grammar and OtherwiseWhen writing dialogue, it's easy to get confused as to what's proper grammar and what isn't. This is no surprise when considering all the variables involved, but not to worry. I'm going to go over the rules and variables of dialogue right now so you can clearly understand the do's and dont's.
This guide has eight sections:
- Basic Dialogue
- Using other Identifiers
- Actions as Replacement Identifiers
- Interrupting Dialogue
- Using Ellipses, Hyphens, and Dashes
- Paragraphing
- Long-Winded Dialogue
- Italics (Expanded: 5-1-12)
- One Last use of Italics (New: 5-1-12)
Basic Dialogue:
Example A1:
The man said, "Pass me the cricket bat."
The woman said, "I don't think I will."
- Observations:
1) A comma after "said," before the quotation mark.
2) The first letter of dialogue is capitalized since it is the first word of a vocalized sentenc
Html codes and Visual Poetry A lot of great writers on dA don't know how to use html codes, which is a real shame, because these codes can really be used to bring out a writer's words. This tutorial will go through several basic codes, good places to use them in your writing, along with spacing and other aspects of visual poetry & writing.
If you haven't noticed, when you open an "Add text" devation, there's a list of HTML codes at the bottom. Most of them look like this . A lot of these match up with the names used for them in Microsoft Word documents, so they should be easy to use. So, let's start off with the basics!
1. Italics <i>
</i>is simply, italics. Got it? Put the i inside the s. See, it's easy! To end any Html code, one puts a slash before the letter i, </i>. Now, for the Visual impact of italics.
Emphasis and Motion
Which means that a good place to use i
Writing Style vs. VoiceA Writer's Guide to Style vs. Voice
Here on dA, there seems to be a lot of confusion and general mass hysteria when it comes to the subjects of writing style and voice. What are they? What's the difference? Can you write one without the other? How important are they, anyhow? Do you really need either of them? Wait, what are they again?
Style is the form and structure with which you write.
Voice is the attitude and perspective with which you write.
In other words, voice is the emotion and feeling of a piece of literature, and style is the technical way of communicating that emotion.
Clearly, there is a tangible difference between the two. Style is a delivery system for voice. While voice can and should affect the form with which you write, you can most certainly write one without the other. However, the best writing is a masterful fusion of both.
I'm here to illustrate for you the difference between style and voice and to define exactly what they are and how you can us

Quick Tips
Reaction and Appeal – Think about the wider audience and how the lit effects you or others. Does the writing form any kind of emotional connection, or pose a message or deeper meaning that will appeal to a wider range of readers?
Original or Overdone – Ask yourself if what you're reading is new, completely different, or rarely seen. Remember that originality does not always mean re-creating the wheel.
Check that SPAG – The basics of all lit! A piece should be reader-friendly and presented in a comfortable manner.
Comments are Key - Comments are there to showcase the reactions of readers. A piece that is stimulating and engaging will provoke lengthier comments that delve deeper into the meaning or idea behind it.
Read and Read Again - When considering a piece to suggest, take a moment to read it again, being a little more critical this time. If nothing leaps out at you and you're still amazed by the work, then you're probably on to something good.
Perfection is by no means expected when looking at pieces to suggest, if it contains at least two of the points offered above, then it stands a very good chance of making it through to a feature so go right ahead and suggest it! We'll be back next week to tell you more about how to actually do that.
"I want to read ALL THE GOOD THINGS, so send me anything you think the site needs to see or that I'd enjoy anyway. Don't think too hard about it—if I don't think I can feature it, someone else might feel differently." - neurotype
Excellent and informative article! I will definitely keep this in mind!
Useful tips, but I was told that DDs are just personal favourites of who decide them... ^^'
Who told you that?
I don't remember anymore, it was many years ago and, if I recall correctly, I was complaining about the DDs system because sometimes I stumbled upon DDs given to artworks that had objective faults or mistakes (for example anatomy or layout in illustrations). When I asked how DDs were chosen, someone replied to me that it's just a matter of personal tastes of the people who choose them.
I think there are people who actually try to choose the best, as much as possible, to give DDs, but if you look at the already given ones it's also clear that there is someone who isn't able to objectively evaluate artworks or, worse, make favouritisms.

Not at all! These tips here are given by the very people who choose the features In fact, I think it's actually quite unfair to suggest that DDs are just the 'favourites' of people who chose them. Having done a lot of research to produce these articles, we've seen how much work the CVs do
It obviously helps if the CVs really like a piece - they're more likely to feature something they fall in love with. But they also look beyond their personal tastes to see if a suggestion holds an appeal for a wider audience, or if it's something rare or otherwise unique. They don't feature their favourites, they feature work which they thinks deserves a chance with a wider audience.

It can be so for people choosing literature DDs, but I'm sure it isn't the same for every category here on DA, and I was told that by someone who is (was?) in charge of choosing some of them. Unfortunately, I don't remember who it was anymore, since it happened some years ago; anyway, from that moment on I didn't take DDs much seriously anymore.
I'm noticing more seriousness in the literature areas of DA, though: maybe, to have less deviations to check in comparison to the visual ones does help.

Thanks for the information, will definitely keep that in mind when I read literature around here.
This is really informative, and fun to read.
Well done!
Well done!
This is just about the most helpful guide I've read all week.

Polar bears are among my favourite subjects, and I have spent a lot of time photographing them. Unlike most photographers of the bears, I have done most of my shooting from ground level. All of the photos in this gallery were done through Seal River Heritage Lodge run by Churchill Wild. The bears in fireweed were done from a camp set up on a small island off the coast of Hudson Bay well north of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.
The winter bears were shot at Seal River Lodge, which runs polar bear viewing camps for a variety of guests during parts of October and November each year. It is a place I have visited often in summer, but winter is truly spectacular there. The repeating tides cover the rocky coastal landscape as winter approaches with a surreal coating of ice that is breath-taking at times. Add fog and early winter storms to the mix, and the wildlife photo opportunities are nothing short of incredible. Clear sunrise mornings are okay too!
Although this gallery features only the bears, the arctic foxes, caribou, and northern lights would probably make the trip worthwhile in their own right. I would rate this location well ahead of a Churchill-only trip if you want a truly remarkable wildlife experience away from all the trappings of town but still include a comfortable bed and fabulous food!

DETROIT, Mich. -- The University of Michigan ice hockey team rebounded from last night's loss to earn a third-place finish in the 2012 Great Lakes Invitational with a 5-2 win over Michigan State on Sunday (Dec. 30) at Joe Louis Arena. Michigan used a four-goal third period to spark the comeback victory and post its seventh win of the season. Three Wolverines finished the game with two points apiece.
The Wolverines struck first, just 4:20 into the game, when defenseman Lee Moffie (Wallingford, Conn.) netted his second goal of the season off a pass from captain A.J. Treais (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.). Moffie took the pass and fired a shot past MSU goalkeeper Jake Hildebrand to open the game's scoring.
Michigan State tied things up at the 12:39 mark of the opening frame with a goal of its own. Lee Reimer won a battle behind the net and kicked the puck over to Tanner Sorenson, who scooted around the post and snuck the puck past Adam Janecyk (Ada, Mich.) to even the game at 1-1.
The Spartans then scored just over three minutes later, when Matt Berry buried a rebound after Janecyk had made the original save, to take a 2-1 lead into the dressing room after 20 minutes of play.
After a scoreless second period, it took just 1:29 for the Wolverines to tie the game when freshman Andrew Copp (Ann Arbor, Mich.) netted his second goal of the season. Copp took a pass from Zach Hyman (Toronto, Ontario) and snapped a wrist shot past Hildebrand for his second point of the game.
Michigan regained the lead, 3-2, less than a minute later at the 2:16 mark off a Kevin Lynch (Grosse Pointe, Mich.) power-play goal. Phil Di Giuseppe (Maple, Ontario) found a rebound from a Treais point shot and fired it into Hildebrand's pad. The puck bounced out front to a wide-open Lynch, who fired it over the sprawled out goaltender. Treais finished the game with two assists for his team-leading sixth multiple-point effort of the season.
The Wolverines got an insurance goal from Di Giuseppe at the 9:09 mark of the third, when the sophomore put home his third goal of the season. Luke Moffatt (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) made the goal possible with a perfect spinning backhand pass right to the tape, allowing Di Giuseppe to score on the wide-open net.
Hyman sealed the win for the Wolverines with an empty-net goal with 1:54 left in the game. The sophomore forward found himself on a breakaway as the trailing Michigan State player was called for a penalty from behind, which resulted in the automatic goal due to the goaltender being on the bench in favor of an extra attacker.
Janecyk made 35 saves for his second win of the season, while Hildebrand allowed four goals on 35 shots. Michigan closed out the afternoon 1-for-1 on the power play and a perfect 4-for-4 on the penalty kill.
The Wolverines return to action on Friday (Jan. 4) when they host the U.S. National Team Development Program Under-18 team at Yost Ice Arena. The game is scheduled for a 7:35 p.m. start and can be seen on Comcast Ch. 900 or heard on the IMG Michigan Sports Network.

I bought it a year or so ago, shot it, loved it, but the conservation club I am a part of doesn't allow center-fire rifles to be shot on the property, which means I have to drive an hour and pay money to get to a range to shoot it. Its too much fun, and too much money, to just have it sitting in a corner in my basement. So, I have the following for sale:
- DPMS MOD A-15 Panther Lite 16 (AR-15)
- http://www.dpmsinc.com/firearms/firearm.aspx?id=43
- Fixed Handle, A-1 sites
- includes carrying case, paperwork, sling, 2 mags, cleaning kit (everything it came with originally)
- Has about 175 rounds through it (swabbed the barrel after each round for the first 25 rounds as instructed in the manual)
- $725 (a couple hundred less than what I paid for it) plus actual shipping cost
I will include my original invoice in case you ever need warranty service from DPMS. However, it is sold as-is, no returns.
I can email you actual pics.

I can't say from experience, and perhaps I shouldn't say anything for that reason, but I'm going to through my two cents in anyway, and if anyone disagrees please correct me.
If I were you I'd start with a 87'-92' roller cam block and use the stock lifters/spider retainer for considerable cost savings. The stock type lifters/"dogbones"/spider retainer for roller blocks can be purchased in a kit for almost 1/2 the cost of retro-roller lifters alone(used in older blocks).
As far as the heads you have(I have the same) I would disassemble them and do some pocket porting/chamber blending/polishing. Mine had sharp edges where the valve seat inserts were cut, and seats installed too deep IMO, that might have caused hot spots for detonation. Get two used valves from the machine shop you plan to use, and insert into the chamber that your working on to prevent damage to the seats before grinding. I used a dremel with a flexible wand, and sanding rolls as I didn't have an air compressor for a die grinder. I'm sure most wouldn't recomment a dremel, takes alot of time and not the proffesional way to do the job, but I think it worked ok for me.
I'd then get the machine shop to check the valve guides to see if there ok before getting a valve job done. After the valve job have them milled just enough for clean-up of the deck for gasket sealing. Then cc the chambers and equalize them for consistant compresssion and CR calculation(mine measured an average of 72cc +/-.3 after all the work).
I'd also get some beehive springs/retainers/seat inserts to work with a roller cam. I used Comp Cams behives pn 26986-16 springs, pn 795-16
10*retainers, and pn 4694 spring cups, and all fit withouut maching the heads.
This is probably alot of over kill for a 400hp, low compression engine, but I would at least do the valve job, guides checked, springs checked, deck shaved, and cc'ed. Use the springs recommended by the manufacturer of the cam you use. The springs on mine were not spec'ed for a roller cam. Being that your talking about a low compression motor smoothing the chambers may not matter, but it wouldn't hurt and may be whats needed to equalize the chamber volumes. I can't guarantee it, but I'm bettting mine will support a 383 making 425-450hp. I'll have to wait and see if I lose the bet.
I'd also use a Scat crank and rods, for a six inch rod as you can get it internally balanced(with exception of flexplate if using a one piece rear main seal used in roller blocks). I don't like an unbalanced dampner on the crank snout as the front main bearing has enough of a load as it is with the accessory drives(alternator/pwr steering/ AC). I have heard some negative rumors lately about Scat cranks, but I bought mine directly from Scat awhile back, and it checked out good with my mics. I also got the Pro comp rods that have the ARP 7/16"cap screws that didn't require any clearancing on the block. I haven't checked cam clearance yet.
For lower compression I'd use a piston with a 12cc "d-cup" and a zero decked block with a head gasket of 0.039" thickness(Felpro pn 1010 has a preflattened copper ring for alum. heads) for a 0.039 squish/quench distance to ward off detonation. I can't guarantee that it would be able to run using 87 octane, but with 72cc chambers it comes to about 9.5:1 static CR, and with a Comp 270 roller cam the dynamic CR comes to about 7.8:1. According to Comp's camquest software it comes to 437hp and 480ftlbs torque.
Ignore the groves in the chamber pics. I'm using a flat top with 5cc valve reliefs and the CR comes to 10.2:1, so I'm trying to get every bit of detonation resistance I can. Don't know if they work anyways.
Just some things to think about!

compression ratio vs. pounds per square inch.
i just purchased a SBC 350 ci, the guy i got it from said he was planning on building a blower engine.
this is a fresh 010 block 4 bolt main.
edelbrock RPM heads.
im planning on doing a compression test on it today.
what kinda pressure can i expect for a 8:1?
how much pressure would i expect from a 10:1?
thanks guys.
i'd expect 150# area.. but.... that motor is NOT broken in so those numbers will be lower.. the main thing is what ever u get the numbers should be fairly close to ea other... not 100 and 150...
The compression pressure (PSI) depends on several variables. The primary variable is the cam profile and valve overlap.
You can disregard variables and get a WAG at the PSI mathematically :
14.7 x CR = PSI
My 455 Pontiac had 12:1 CR with an average 215 PSI cranking (150 RPM). .
The hydraulic lifter camshaft was very mild CC-268H with only 39 degrees valve overlap. The short overlap quickly built up cylinder pressure for gobs of low end torque! That engine required at least 100% VP C-12 - 108 octane racing fuel.
A Ram Air IV camshaft with 87 degrees valve overlap in the same engine would produce an average 180 PSI. That much combustion pressure would be borderline on 93 octane pump gas with best performance with at least 100 octane VP racing fuel.
Also, it doesn't matter if you're talking a 6-71 or 10-71 blower, you need to be looking at boost pressure, that's what will increase your static c.r. to higher effective c.r. Meaning an 9.0:1 static c.r., with 10 pounds of boost will net you an effective c.r. of 15.1:1.
When considering CR to boost pressure, the limit for 93 octane pump gas is 12:1 effective CR. Anything over 12:1 effective CR will risk catastrophic detonation.
Static CR.................8:1
Boost pressure ....... 8 PSI
Effective CR.............12:1
Experience has shown that an engine will make more power from low CR - high boost than from a high CR - low boost. Engines will differ in their tolerance to detonation so this rule is not hard and fast but it is a good place to start. It is easier to change boost than it is to change compression ratio.
It isn't the overlap that effects cranking pressure (compression test). The engine isn't even trying to make compression at this point in the 4 stroke cycle. In fact, the engine is trying to make vacuum during the overlap period.
What effects cranking pressure is when the intake valve closes. Long duration cams tend to have late intake closing points which will reduce the effective length of the compression stroke as the valve is still open as the pistons is rising to compression the air/fuel charge.
Since big cams have lots of overlap, people mistakenly tend to blame the extra overlap for reduced pressure on a compression test. However, more overlap does lower the idle vacuum.
Cylinder pressure is generated on the compression stroke and not during the valve overlap period. However,the reason valve overlap causes a loss of cylinder pressure is because long duration camshafts always have more valve overlap and later intake valve closing points and the intake valve closing point during the compression stroke determines the amount of cylinder pressure that is generated.
That is why the duration of 218* @ .050" with the CC-268H "RV" cam in my 455 Pontiac engine had about 25 PSI more cranking cylinder pressure than it did when it was equipped with a Ram Air IV camshaft that had valve duration of 231* / 240* @ .050". After I changed to the Ram Air IV camshaft, I lowered the rear gear ratio from 3.08:1 to 3.90:1 to compensate for the loss of low end torque.
If you install 2 cams, both with 230 degrees of duration on the intake and exhaust but one has a 108 degrees Lobe Separation Angle LSA and the other has 114 LSA.
The cam with the 108 LSA will have more overlap and an intake valve that closes sooner. So the cam with more overlap will have lower vacuum at idle and higher cylinder pressure.
So a cam with more overlap doesn't always mean it will have lower cylinder pressure.
It is also important to look at the actual intake closing point (not at 0.050"). Stock cams tend to have long lazy ramps which also lowers pressure due to shutting the valve at the same point of a much bigger high performance cam with fast ramps.
The CC-268H single pattern camshaft in my 455 had .454" valve lift, 110* LSA, 39* valve overlap with 215 PSI cranking pressure.
The Melling SPC-8 Ram Air IV camshaft in the same engine had .480" valve lift, 114* LSA, 87* valve overlap, and 170 PSI cranking pressure.
I first used a CC-268H "RV" camshaft in my 455 Pontiac engine but the CC standard hydraulic lifters were noisy. After about the first 400 miles, I switched to a Melling SPC-8 Ram Air IV camshaft and Melling JB-951R limited travel lifters. That change resulted in a quiet valve train and reduced cylinder pressure.
I suppose the valve events made the difference in cranking cylinder pressure. I do not recall what the valve events were.
I would bet the cam with the lower crank pressure had a much later intake valve closing point.
There is a lot of talk about measured compression ratio, cam duration, cam profile, ETC.
Why no mention of cranking RPM? A used starter, compared to a good fresh starter, and fully charged battery could possibly change the compression tester readings 20 or 30 PSI. A more accurate test would be a leakdown test.
If your rings are adequate, but not good, probably be better, as in more horsepower, and torque, AND better fuel economy, by putting new rings in the engine.
But that does not sound as "sexy" as a "high performance 3/4 race camshaft with chrome valve covers, and Super Thunderbolt high energy ignition coils"
Don't get me started on compression testing variables. I have two identical gages and one reads 25 psi more than the other. Compression testing is good to see differences between cylinders.

Re: Differencing two equations
Yeah, Mathematica stubbornly refuses to thread Equal over the difference. I seem to recall that there are good design reasons for that.
The following works, but of course is more involved than one might like:
Equal @@ Subtract @@@ {a == r, b == s}
Which is an abbreviated form of:
Apply[Equal, Apply[Subtract, {a == r, b == s}, 1]]
Essentially, you're taking out the equalities and after subtractions putting an equality back.

1965 el Camino dash problems!!!
Ok so I finally decided to start the whole dash/wiring replacement on my elky. One big problem...the entire passenger side was rusted to ****!!! I'm not talking about the dash pad, I mean the actual dash panel that's made of metal and welded to the body! Worst part is that no one makes these anymore. I already pulled the dash out so it's basically firewall and some wires among other things. Question is, does anyone know where I can get this part? Dvap wants about 500 and won't even send pics first. Am I stuck getting something custom and not so great or am I stuck searching for years to come?
Your '65 El Camino is identical to the '65 Chevelle forward of the "B" pillars, so check with the Chevelle web sites.
I started looking into that a day or two ago but still no luck. Just a bunch of clutter about dash pads. Good advice though!
Any 64-67 A body dash will fit in there, it might not be stock but it's a option.
Wow v8&4spd! I knew A bodies had a lot of matching parts but I wasn't sure about this one. That helps a million! I'll let u all know what dash I choose!
I put a 65 Pontiac dash in a 67 El Camino. There was more cab room after I swapped dashes. Just use a cut off wheel and cut near the windhsield.
Some of the gauge openings are standard size GM. You can use gauges from a 2nd gen F body if you want. You can also use different speedo readings all the way up to 160 mph.

Comparing two image research instruments: The Q-sort method versus the Likert attitude questionnaire
Klooster, Peter M. ten and Visser, Martijn and Jong, Menno D.T. de (2008) Comparing two image research instruments: The Q-sort method versus the Likert attitude questionnaire. Food Quality and Preference, 19 (5). pp. 511-518. ISSN 0950-3293
|Despite the attention for corporate, brand and product images, only few studies focus on methodological comparisons of image research methods. This article presents a comparison of two current instruments: the Q-sort method and a Likert attitude questionnaire. The study applies both methods to measure the image of beef, using the same assertions in similar samples of consumers. The two methods produce consistent results, but differ in the possibilities of data analysis and interpretation. An advantage of the Q-sort method is that it offers straightforward insights in the underlying structure of image within audience segments. On the other hand, the Q-sort method does not give overall indications of an image, and limits occur for analyzing the relationships between image and other variables.

Hi everyone names Chris! I am a 21 year old male, I weigh 164 pounds. Let me tell you a little about my journey and why I decided smart lipo. I weighed 200 pounds before my journey to lose weight, I went all the way down to 160 where my ideal weight is suppose to be. If I lost more weight, I would of been under my ideal weight which could of been un healthy.
I noticed I had the same belly and man boobs on where I was at around 200 pounds. My legs, arms, thighs and everywhere else lost an significantly amount of weight. But my problems were my flanks, belly, man boobs and upper abdomens. I just had to get this removed. I found out about smart lipo, and was quoted $5200 for my upper/lower abdomens, flanks, and man breast. I was fine with that.
My surgery is on July 20th! Just a couple of days away. I will keep everyone updated. I am quite nervous but also excited. I am trying not to think about it. I took before pictures and of course will take after pictures. Like I said I will keep everyone updated.

September 11, 2001, it's a day we will never forget. Many people lost family members and neighbors, but alongside the sorrow and loss, we witnessed incredible acts of heroism and bravery. Thousands of emergency responders and volunteers risked their lives and came to our country's aid when we needed them most. Many of them were my constituents, even though I'm from upstate New York. Many came down in the months following and the weeks following.
Thomas Kwasnaza from Marietta, New York, was one of the heroes that day. He was working as a police officer on 9/11, and he actually trained with James Zadroga, who was one of the first NYPD officers whose death is attributed to toxic chemicals.
Mr. Speaker, on that day Members of Congress and all Americans alike, Republicans and Democrats, pledged to do anything we could--anything we could--for the victims, their families, and the rescuers who went in after them. We didn't say we would do anything as long as it doesn't cost too much. We didn't say we would do anything as long as there was no chance that an undocumented worker could possibly benefit. We didn't say we would do anything as long as it protects offshore companies that get away with sheltering their taxes. We said we would do anything. And that's what we have to do.

What Do You Think of Taylor & Taylor's Split?
We are still totally sad about the demise of Taylor Squared. They were so cute together! They first got together on the set of their super-romantic movie Valentine's Day,
but now, even though they're broken up, they're going to have to see
each other for press stuff and the premiere of the movie. Think it'll
be awkward? She claims they're still friends, but it's still always
super awk to see an ex! The only good thing for Werewolf Taylor is that
Singer Taylor can't write a song with his name in it, because it'll sound
like it's about herself! Swift is three years older than Lautner, so
that could've been part of the problem. That's like a freshman dating a
senior, like in her song "Fifteen." And we all know how that turned
What do you girls think? Do you think the two Taylors were meant
to be? Are you heartbroken about their breakup? Think they'll get back
together? Tell us in the comments!

Mattera's video attacks on Franken and Grayson based on falsehoods
Research ››› ››› BRIAN FREDERICK
In videos promoted on BigGovernment.com, right-wing author Jason Mattera confronted Democratic lawmakers Rep. Alan Grayson and Sen. Al Franken and sharply criticized them over their support for specific provisions in the House and Senate versions of the health care bill. However, Mattera's attacks are based on falsehoods and distortions of the bills - Mattera himself even debunks one of the attacks levied against Sen. Franken.
Mattera falsely suggested House bill contained giveaway to "Native American child molesters"
Mattera: "This is in the bill that you voted for." In a video posted in a March 24 post on BigGovernment.com titled "Native American Child Molesters Are People, Too!" Jason Mattera falsely suggested that Grayson and other House Democrats voted for giving money to "Native American child molesters." In fact, the House bill would not have provided grants to "child molesters," as Mattera falsely suggested in the video. Rather, the provision Mattera cites would have directed the Indian Health Service to establish "programs involving treatment" for "victims of sexual abuse who are Indian children or children in an Indian household" and treatment for "perpetrators of child sexual abuse who are Indian or members of an Indian household."
From the video:
MATTERA: What provisions or portions of the health care bill do you think Americans like better? Would it be the -
GRAYSON: Actually, the part that we just introduced scores highest in the polls. People love the idea of being able to buy into Medicare.
MATTERA: Medicare, really. What about the -
GRAYSON: The poll I saw said 72% favor it or something like that.
MATTERA: What about the house -- there's the House portion that provides funding for Native American child molesters and the Senate portion that provides --
GRAYSON: Oh God, are you a kook?
MATTERA: -- that mandates - No, this is in the bill.
GRAYSON: Are you a kook? 'Cause you're starting to sound like it.
MATTERA: This is in your bill that you voted for.
GRAYSON: Okay, have a nice day.
MATTERA: [Page] 1950, provides funding for Native American -
GRAYSON: [inaudible]
MATTERA: Is this not in your bill? Do you not know what's in your own bill that you voted for?
In fact, House version provided funding for treatment of victims and perpetrators of child sexual abuse
House bill contained provisions related to treatment and prevention of child sexual abuse in Native American populations. In the BigGovernment post accompanying the video, Mattera pointed to this section in the House version, which would have directed the Indian Health Services on the establishment of "child sexual abuse and prevention treatment programs" [emphasis added]:
'(a) Establishment- The Secretary, acting through the Service, shall establish, consistent with section 701, in every Service Area, programs involving treatment for--
'(1) victims of sexual abuse who are Indian children or children in an Indian household; and
'(2) perpetrators of child sexual abuse who are Indian or members of an Indian household.
'(b) Use of Funds- Funding provided pursuant to this section shall be used for the following:
'(1) To develop and provide community education and prevention programs related to sexual abuse of Indian children or children in an Indian household.
'(2) To identify and provide behavioral health treatment to victims of sexual abuse who are Indian children or children in an Indian household, and to their family members who are affected by sexual abuse.
'(3) To develop prevention and intervention models which incorporate traditional health care practices, cultural values, and community involvement.
'(4) To develop and implement culturally sensitive assessment and diagnostic tools for use in Indian communities and Urban Centers.
'(5) To identify and provide behavioral health treatment to Indian perpetrators and perpetrators who are members of an Indian household--
'(A) making efforts to begin offender and behavioral health treatment while the perpetrator is incarcerated or at the earliest possible date if the perpetrator is not incarcerated; and
'(B) providing treatment after the perpetrator is released, until it is determined that the perpetrator is not a threat to children.
'(c) Coordination- The programs established under subsection (a) shall be carried out in coordination with programs and services authorized under the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act (25 U.S.C. 3201 et seq.).
Mattera falsely claims health care bill contained "$7 billion to fund jungle gyms"
Mattera: "Why is that the job of the federal government to create an army of monkey bars?" In a March 29 blog post on BigGovernment.com, Mattera posted a video in which he confronted Sen. Al Franken and asked him about the health care bill. From the video:
MATTERA: Which portions of the health care bill lower costs? Is it the provision giving $7 billion to fund jungle gyms or the provision mandating that employers provide time off for breastfeeding?
FRANKEN: Uh, Give me --
MATTERA: You should know.
FRANKEN: Give me the jungle gyms.
MATTERA: Right here, the jungle gyms --
FRANKEN: yeah
MATTERA: -- is on 1184.
FRANKEN: Yeah, show it to me right now.
MATTERA: Okay, 1184, to provide physical activity opportunities to promote healthy lifestyles. So why is that the job of the federal government?
FRANKEN: Okay, now. Let me --
MATTERA: Why is that the job of the federal government --
FRAKEN: If you won't let me answer --
MATTERA: -- to create an army of monkey bars? Go ahead, answer it.
In fact, there is no provision "giving $7 billion to fund jungle gyms"
The provision Mattera himself reads refers to giving grants to "provide physical activity opportunities" in order to reduce chronic disease. After falsely claiming that the bill contains a provision "giving $7 billion to fund jungle gyms," Mattera reads the provision he's referring to, which contains no mentions of "jungle gyms." In the "Creating Healthier Communities" portion of the Senate version of the bill, under the section "Community Transformation Grants," entities receiving grants may use them toward activities such as "creating healthier school environments, including increasing healthy food options, physical activity opportunities, promotion of healthy lifestyle, emotional wellness, and prevention curricula, and activities to prevent chronic diseases." From the bill [emphasis added]:
(a) IN GENERAL.-The Secretary of Health and Human Services (referred to in this section as the ''Secretary''), acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (referred to in this section as the ''Director''), shall award competitive grants to State and local governmental agencies and community-based organizations for the implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of evidence-based community preventive health activities in order to reduce chronic disease rates, prevent the development of secondary conditions, address health disparities, and develop a stronger evidence-base of effective prevention programming.
(b) ELIGIBILITY.-To be eligible to receive a grant under subsection (a), an entity shall-
(1) be-
(A) a State governmental agency;
(B) a local governmental agency;
(C) a national network of community-based organizations;
(D) a State or local non-profit organization; or
(E) an Indian tribe; and
(2) submit to the Director an application at such time, in such a manner, and containing such information as the Director may require, including a description of the program to be carried out under the grant; and
(3) demonstrate a history or capacity, if funded, to develop relationships necessary to engage key stakeholders from multiple sectors within and beyond health care and across a community, such as healthy futures corps and health care providers.
(c) USE OF FUNDS.-
(1) IN GENERAL.-An eligible entity shall use amounts received under a grant under this section to carry out programs described in this subsection.
(A) IN GENERAL.-An eligible entity that receives a grant under this section shall submit to the Director (for approval) a detailed plan that includes the policy, environmental, programmatic, and as appropriate infrastructure changes needed to promote healthy living and reduce disparities.
(B) ACTIVITIES.-Activities within the plan may focus on (but not be limited to)-
(i) creating healthier school environments, including increasing healthy food options, physical activity opportunities, promotion of healthy lifestyle, emotional wellness, and prevention curricula, and activities to prevent chronic diseases;
(ii) creating the infrastructure to support active living and access to nutritious foods in a safe environment;
(iii) developing and promoting programs targeting a variety of age levels to increase access to nutrition, physical activity and smoking cessation, improve social and emotional wellness, enhance safety in a community, or address any other chronic disease priority area identified by the grantee;
(iv) assessing and implementing worksite wellness programming and incentives;
(v) working to highlight healthy options at restaurants and other food venues;
(vi) prioritizing strategies to reduce racial and ethnic disparities, including social, economic, and geographic determinants of health; and
(vii) addressing special populations needs, including all age groups and individuals with disabilities, and individuals in both urban and rural areas.

Recently, the editorial board of The Washington Post announced that it would no longer use the word "Redskins." Well, the New York Daily News has gone a couple of steps further, announcing Wednesday that its entire operation will not only avoid the term, but the team's logo, as well.
In an editorial with the headline, "Sack the name," The Daily News said that the Redskins' logo "depicting a feathered Native American has been replaced with an image that uses the team's maroon and yellow colors to key readers to stories, columns and statistics relating to Washington."
That's the logo The Daily News will use, to the left, and, yes, the newspaper did describe Washington's color scheme as "maroon and yellow." Well, that's a little better than "maroon and black," right?
This news comes just before thousands of media outlets in every city with an NFL team are set to receive a letter from a coalition of Native American groups, asking those outlets to stop using the name.
From The Daily News:
Enormously popular and deeply ingrained in sporting culture, the Redskins name is a throwback to a vanished era of perniciously casual racial attitudes. No new franchise would consider adopting a name based on pigmentation — Whiteskins, Blackskins, Yellowskins or Redskins — today. The time has come to leave the word behind.
Loyalty, tradition, affection and nostalgia all weigh heavily toward accepting the name as an artifact that has been cleansed of derogatory meaning by association with celebrated athletics.
While the team ownership and many fans hold such a belief in good faith, the inescapable truth is that the term Redskin derives solely from the racial characteristic of skin tone in a society that is struggling mightily to be color-blind.
Still more, many Native Americans view the word as a slur born in the country's inglorious victimization of their ancestors. Their representatives have persuaded a federal panel to rule that the team name and logo are offensive and should be stripped of U.S. trademark protection.
Why drop the term now? Why not yesterday or last year? The answer is that, as attitudes evolve, words can move from common parlance to unacceptable in good company.
See the end of "Negro" and the rise of "black" or "African-American," the end of "retarded" and the rise of "developmentally disabled," the end of "handicapped" and the rise of "people with disabilities."
Here's a simple test of whether Redskin passes muster: Would you use the term in referring to Native Americans in anything other than a derogatory way?
Apparently, though, the newspaper won't yet be extending its ban to the Cleveland Indians' mascot, which many people find to be an offensive depiction.
My paper won't use "Redskins" anymore. Want them to stop showing Chief Wahoo, too, but MLB and Rob Manfred getting free ride from everyone.
— Filip Bondy (@filipbondy) September 3, 2014
Here is an example of what might have been an earlier incarnation of The Daily News' version of the Redskins' logo. Note the "Washington" denotation above the logo, which none of the other logos pictured have.
So the @NYDailyNews is really not using the @Redskins Logo anymore!? @dcsportsbog pic.twitter.com/rj6ZLczUKy — Andrew Livingston (@AndrewLiv) September 3, 2014
And while we're on the topic, it appears that longtime D.C. media presence Tom Sherwood is also eschewing the name.
Mine. TMM75: @tomsherwood I noticed you didn't use local NFL team name in most recent NWCurrent. Your decision or paper's? @dcsportsbog"

Location: National Germplasm Resources Laboratory2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
Identify key germplasm gaps in NPGS collections, prioritize the acquisition needs, identify opportunities for acquisition, and secure needed genetic resources through cross-institutional linkages, plant exchanges, explorations, and importation. Develop approaches to share benefits with host countries for providing NPGS access to needed germplasm. Expand, enhance, and maintain the online database (GRIN-Taxonomy)that provides access to, and promotes the proper and consistent use of validated, standard botanical and cultivated scientific plant names, taxonomic classifications, and associated data by genetic resource managers and researchers worldwide. Expand the nomenclatural, classificatory, and ecogeographical information available on GRIN for highly diverse specialty crop taxa.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
To identify NPGS germplasm gaps, we will assemble and analyze systematic and ecogeographic data on the taxa in the crop genepool, current ex situ holdings of germplasm of taxa in the crop genepool, reported problems in the crop that can be addressed by additional germplasm, reported needs of breeders or other researchers for new germplasm and in situ conservation status of taxa in the genepool genetic resources. Maintain all of the identified NPGS germplasm gaps in a searchable database. Prioritize the identified collection needs to acquire the more valuable and most threatened accessible genetic resources that are needed. Priority factors include: interest of the curator and CGC in acquiring new germplasm, potential of the target germplasm to solve the identified problem(s) in the crop, magnitude of the identified gaps in the NPGS, accessibility to germplasm in countries within the distribution of the taxa in the genepool, and the projected economic value of use of the targeted germplasm. Administer the Plant Exploration and Exchange Program to obtain the needed germplasm. Monitor the latest taxonomic literature, through routine literature searches to detect any changes to existing taxonomy and/or nomenclature for possible adoption in GRIN. Correct authorship and spelling or other details of publication of a name to ensure the accuracy of this information. Conform all nomenclature to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN). Cite in GRIN the literature or other bases for taxonomic or nomenclatural decisions. New classifications based on molecular evidence, will be considered for GRIN taxonomy provided that they conform to acceptable nomenclature in ICBN. Synonyms accepted in recent literature will be added. Common names in French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, or Japanese, will be added in conformity to GRIN standards and reflecting native scripts when possible. The sources for all common names, the negative economic effects of alternate host plants for plant diseases or pests, and of weeds and poisonous plants will be recorded on GRIN. Native distributions will be documented by country (or state for large countries) and these records linked to more detailed external web resources. Information on non-native distributions will also be provided, and for invasive or potentially invasive species distribution data will be evaluated in comparison to data from federal and state invasive species initiatives.
3. Progress Report
NPGS germplasm needs for all major U.S. crops are being reviewed by compiling origin and improvement status data for the NPGS accessions of the crop and the related species, listed in the Germplasm Resources Information Network and comparing them with the geographical range record for these taxa. The important genetic relatives of the 25 major U.S. crops, their representation in the National Plant Germplasm System and source country were identified through a new program initiated through this project to facilitate the identification of germplasm gaps. During FY 2010, nineteen plant explorations were coordinated. Explorations occurred in Armenia, China, Georgia, Morocco, Russia, and the United States. Germplasm collected on these explorations included beet, carrot, fruits, grasses, lettuce, onion, new crops, nuts, ornamentals, small grains and sunflower. These accessions are new sources of genetic diversity that have been added to the NPGS and will soon be available to plant breeders and other researchers worldwide. Benefit sharing with the host countries for foreign explorations included sharing of germplasm, purchase of equipment, training of scientists, and upgrade of genebank facilities. The existing collaborative projects in Ecuador, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Syria, Morocco and Tunisia were maintained and supported. The project continued to support to the germplasm conservation activities of native U.S. Fraxinus species severely threatened by the Emerald Ash Borer. A third collection of Ash germplasm indigenous to China was organized, planned and implemented in collaboration with Beijing Botanic Garden and a U.S. consortium of Botanic Gardens. Over 4,000 taxon records were updated in GRIN Taxonomy during FY2010. About 1,500 of these were new additions to GRIN, many in response to the ca. 100 requests received from National Plant Germplasm System workers during this period, such as to accommodate newly acquired accessions from the Seeds of Success project of the Bureau of Land Management, for the Western Regional Plant Introduction Station, or those from the Millennium Seed Bank, for the National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation. Adjustments to taxonomy data involving some 85,000 records, especially economic use and common name records were accomplished to provide better documentation of GRIN Taxonomy data. PEO assisted in the distribution of 46,116 samples of NPGS accessions to researchers in 63 different countries throughout the world and the import of 30 shipments of germplasm from 22 different foreign countries for U.S. researchers and the NPGS.
4. Accomplishments
1. NPGS Germplasm needs for Alfalfa. PEO compiled origin and improvement status data for the NPGS accessions of the crop alfalfa and related taxa listed in the Germplasm Resources Information Network comparing them with the geographical range record for this crop group to identify the NPGS germplasm needs. The identified needs were then prioritized for collecting and exchange based on procedures in the approved research plan. The information will assist scientists in the U.S. and other countries in developing strategies for acquisition of missing genetic resources of crop relatives, and in situ conservation.
2. Identification of Crop Gene Pool Relatives in GRIN Taxonomy. The project to determine the important genetic relatives of all major and minor crops of importance to U.S. agriculture, and to provide a full treatment of these in GRIN Taxonomy, was continued in FY2010. The work is being performed in consultation with National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) curators and Crop Germplasm Committees for the crops involved. Work on 20 of the most economically important crops has already been concluded, identifying over 700 primary, secondary, and tertiary gene pool relatives for these crops, and a web interface to query and retrieve the results of this project is now operational. The information generated assists scientists in the U.S. and other countries in developing strategies for acquisition of missing genetic resources of crop relatives, in situ conservation and germplasm enhancement.
3. Genetic resources distributed to scientists worldwide. PEO assisted in the distribution of 46,116 samples of NPGS accessions to researchers in 63 different countries throughout the world and the import of 30 shipments of germplasm from 22 different foreign countries for U.S. researchers and the National Plant Germplasm System. Impact: Making germplasm readily available to scientist for use in production and basic research is the most important justification for crop conservation.

|I have to agree with the replies here. 1.) your cam is way too big and 2.) You really need to use the spell-check function that is available to you free of charge! I tried to cut you some slack in previous posts and even went so far as to defend you- but HEY, smarten up and at least try!
I HATE to accuse people of being trolls (in spite of how I huff and puff about it!) and 302truck I don't intend ot offend you so take this as constructive criticism - if you are truly a troll, we will get rid of you in a short time.
Here goes.
I am amazed how you can hold a job that pays enough money to afford a car, let alone one with after-market hot rod parts in view of the TERRIBLE communication skills you exhibit in your post. Burger flippers at Mickey-D's need better skills than you exhibit. Unless you clean up your act as suggested above, you will not be taken seriously here and will get no helpful responses. Take the advice given above by the board members and take the time to, a) hit the spell check button and, b) read what you have written and decide whether it would make sense to anyone else reading it who has no preexisting idea of what you are trying to say.
If you don't take these steps, we will be forced to assume you are doing this intentionally to disrupt this board and we will not allow that to happen.

You will get more replies to your answers if you made use of the spell check function available below the box where you write your post.
There are three buttons there, "Submit reply", "Preview Reply", "Spell check"<----THIS IS THE BUTTON YOU NEED TO PRESS BEFORE CLICKING THE "Submit reply" BUTTON.
You have been asked a few times now by more than one member, it's easy to do and doesn't cost you a penny. Not spending the two seconds it takes to check your post for spelling errors after being asked to clean up your unintelligible posts time and time again can mean only one thing "302truck"...it's intentional.
|to run that cam, you`ll have to regear the vehicle, or go with a smaller cam. the cam`s RPM band is lower than the cruise RPM in 4th gear, the cam wasn`t designed to make torque below the given RPM, so it puts the engine under such a load it spits back through the carb. you have way too much cam for a little 302 in a regular geared vehicle. I would think the RPM band of your cam is likely 3000 - 6500 or so, and in 4th gear it cruises at maybe 1800 RPM. it runs fine when you go to a lower gear because it puts the cam back in it`s workable RPM range or closer to it. you`ll either have to get some lower rear gears, or go with a smaller cam, I would do the cam swap. a smaller cam with lower duration at .050 with a RPM band that`s workable with your gears at cruise speed RPM. a cam with a RPM range of 2000-5000 should suit you fine, even if the cruise RPM is slightly lower than 2000 RPM, it`ll still work out okay. if you go with a gear change, you`ll need at least 3.73`s to 4.11`s, this will put the RPM in a much higher cruise speed, which accelerates wear on the engine due to the higher RPM, and creates a very annoying exhaust drone.
back agine still spites back throw the barb at low rpm
could it be my cam is to big when im driveing the truck and i shift it in 4 gear it takes rpms way down and it spites back throw the carb.but i shift it to therd and get the rpm up it is fine.i drove it for about 30 miles today today it wont even pull a small hill without down shifting it. but if i get into it it will burn the tires off in 1 gear and 2 gear as long as the rpm's are up.i put a nuther 600 holley on it a newone. pluges cap roter trided timeing from 10 to 16 and and hade a frende set it at32 to 34 at 2500 rpm still the same checked for vack leakes couldint finde iny maid shore my vackume advace is working i jist dont know im going to try a differnt distributor and check valve spinges.and valve agustmint to.i know im driveing you guyes crazy me to i got 4000 dollers in a moter that runs like crap at low rpm the cam is a comp520 intake 523 exhaust.and roush windsor lite 200 heades.today when i was driveing it even in 3 gear with the rpm's up i thought i could hear it spite back reil lite a few times.?
