The aluminum canopy Dzus fastens to the structure. Two very good things about this design 1. It opens up with an unlatch and push motion. 2. It opens up far enough that I can stand up while getting out. It helps a lot with getting in/out especially if I have to do it quickly.

Message-ID: I guess You CAN be rich AND really STUPID too... =========================================================== A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering his million-dollar sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston. The accident happened about 3 p.m. Wednesday on the frontage road of Interstate 45 northbound in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston. The Lufkin, Texas, man told of driving his luxury, French-built Bugatti Veyron when the bird distracted him, said La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist. The motorist dropped his cell phone, reached to pick it up and veered off the road and into the salt marsh. The car was half-submerged in the brine about 20 feet from the road when police arrived. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33906595/ns/us_news-weird_news/ From adin at frontier.net Fri Nov 13 16:35:28 2009 From: adin at frontier.net (David in Durango) Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:35:28 -0700 Subject: [Land-speed] Huh?

Worst itching I ever had! I cannot imagine them making my brain itch, lol.. How is the truck coming along? Done anymore with it? I am belly deep in sunbeam. I had that fuel tank leak at WOS and that resulted in me fabricating a new tank and putting it in the trunk. Of course that required that "stuff" be subtly moved around there. Removal of the offending tank from the front left room for an intercooler I had purchased a few years ago. It is now installed and the air ducting plumbed. Has a new blow through mass air flow meter. Just finished a new ice water intercooler tank that goes where the fire bottles were located before. Have relocated them as well. Stuff looks different. Working to resolve my rpm issue as well. Back when I first ran the car, a dyno run had data to 6000 rpm. At that time, I had twin turbos blowing into a dual inlet throttle body hat. Because of the miserable spark plug access in that configuration, I relocated the turbos and made a new hat with one inlet with both turbos going into it. Rpm decreased to around 5300 5400. ran that way for a year then went to the big single turbo blowing into the same hat. Rpm was still limited. Same thing this past year with the same set up. Run to 5500 RPM in August and that was it. In installing the intercooler, I removed the inlet and replaced it with a larger tube, so now everything from the turbo to the motor is 3 inch diameter. I also removed the blow off valve I had installed for chuckles on the TB hat. Put the water injection nozzle boss there instead. I had a different BOV that I installed in the 3 inch air ducting. I have two choices on the big turbo inlet: I can put a large air filter on the inlet or I can run some 4 inch aluminum flex ducting to the grill blank off and install an inlet bell there. That is of course way more work... and no air filter which I kinda like because that salt dust gets injested and that cannot be good for the compressor wheel. I should be done with the intercooler installation this week less mnor water plumbing to and fro. Then the turbo inlet is the last item. I am getting tired of working on this thing... mayf David in Durango wrote: > Dr Mayfield, > > Sometimes, in cold weather, white things fall from the sky.

(Or Terminal Post if your vehicle is so equipped). And a dual terminal connector. (Repair pig-tails for this connector available at any autoparts store. Or, salvage with alternator if pulling the alternator from a vehicle). * The #1 Terminal. (Marked with a "1" on the case) * This terminal is used to connect to the dash warning light. * For the warning light, a lamp is wired in series with a switched voltage source. During normal operation the lamp stays off. If the regulator is damaged, the #1 terminal provides ground, and the warning lamp will light. Usually. * This terminal is also active on 1 wire regulator equipped 10SI alternators. * The #2 Terminal. (Marked with a "2" on the case) * This terminal is used to excite the 10SI into operation. (3-wire 10SI) * It is connected to the battery positive. * For simplicity you can connect the #2 connector pigtail directly to the "batt" terminal on the alternator. * The terminal is present on 1 wire regulators. Used only for those that require the stock connector to fit snugly. If you are converting from a 3wire 10SI to a 1 wire regulator you can hook up all your stock connectors, and run it as is. However, thats wasted money unless you plan on cleaning out some wiring under your hood. If the 1 wire is for cleaning out wires, you only need to retain the "BAT" wire. The #1 & #2 terminal wires can be eliminated. Don't be surprised to find that the #2 wire only goes a short way into the harness and spliced into the "BAT" wire. The 1 wire regulator comes with a dust plug for the #1 & #2 terminals. Mine works fine.

You will know you have no fuel leaks and you have oil to the rockers. And if you have zoom headers without weep holes in them plus a very good new Hilborn pump. And are using a hand held remote starter and working the throttle by hand by leaning over the engine. That when it fires concern over the car and house may take second in line to concern about being on fire your self. Blowing a cup full of burning gas onto your shirt will really wake you up. The good news is I learned this years ago and am all healed up this Thanksgiving.

I am in need of some Ford Connector pins. I want to make some extender test cables for my EFI harness in the Sunbeam. I can find and have some round pins that will work for three of the sensor cables but two sensors and the fuel injectors have eluded me. These are blade type pins which appear to be about 2.5 mm wide and fairly thin. Like a skinny push on type but skinnier and longer. I have looked at Motorcraft connectors, FordFuelInjection.com, Delphi-Packard, Digikey, Allied Electronics and Waytek Wire. For you ford guys, pin examples are the Mass air flow sensor pins, the TFI sensor pins, and for all of you the fuel injector pins. These are all flat pins. I can find the female parts but so far, no male pieces. Any of you guys have a favorite source that might have these kinds of pins?
