    SuperDave here: checking in

    Wow! It's been a great summer here in Washington (state). Drove my trusty 64 1/2 convertible more this year than the previous 25 years combined. Hello to all my friends on Stangnet! SuperDave Author...

    The "fly-by" is over!

    I can't say that it hasn't been fun but I'm going disappear once again. My other interests are calling! Like "The Terminator", I'll be "B A A A A A ACK!" Merry Christmas! SuperDave

    The "dumb" question

    Those of you that post "dumb" questions need not consider them "dumb". We all started as novices and we're here to help. Doesn't a "dumb" question deserve a "dumb" answer? No one will get on you for being ignorant; stupid maybe, but NOT ignorant. Ignorance is a temporary condition; stupid...

    A "SuperDave" fly-by!

    As the self-proclaimed "King of Posters", I'm checking in to wish all a happy holiday season. Yes, I still have my "stock as a rock" 64 1/2 convertible which is safely tucked away in my garage during the cold weather. I showed the car last summer and enjoyed meeting those new to the Mustang...

    When is a timing chain in need of replacement?

    With all the talk here about cams, little attention is given to the timing gear set. To neglect the timing gear set is to ignore an important component that can have a negative impact engine performance. I've explained my method of checking the condition of the timing gear set WITHOUT...

    I've been spending ENTIRELY too muct time here lately, soooo

    It is time for me to withdraw from our "dialog" and pursue some of my many other interests. I leave with the belief that it has been fun but also that it has become redunant answering many of the same questions. I've tended to jump on any thread that draws my interest and, in so doing, deny...

    Help me understand the difference between a DISAGREEMENT and an ARGUEMENT

    The trend here is to see any disagreement as an arguement which has a very negative conotation to many posters. I say disagreement is a healthy and productive response if it is based on sound reasoning and experience. Why do we have to agree to make a valid response? Can't ANYTHING be...

    "Gentlemen, statr your MOTORS!"

    Last week I got into a hassle here when I corrected a poster's use of the term "motor" when, in fact, he was talking about an engine. Think there is no difference? CAN YOU IMAGINE starting the Indy 500 or the Daytona 500 with the phrase: "Gentlemen, start your MOTORS"? :lol: :lol: :lol...

    Starting a the BOTTOM of the page

    I'd like to invite the veteran posters to join me in starting at the BOTTOM of the page to at least ACKNOWLEDGE posters who haven't gotten a response. I'd like to think that ALL of us would benefit and the board will be a friendlier place. :cheers: Also, using "smilies" can convey a more...

    Let's play with words: gear ratios

    I offered to explain how the word "ratio" may be defined two different ways. Follow me. Here goes: A ratio is an expression of the numerical relationship between two similar things. In the context of gearing and specifically differentials, ratio compares the rotational relationship between...

    Yo, Pakrat

    Your PM box is full but I'd like you to read 67GTA's response to your P/S seal thread. What's left of my credibility is still intact! :D :D :D SD

    Anti-freeze/coolant: what's the story?

    I'm of the belief that all anti-freeze/coolant is basically the same. It is based on ethelyne-glychol (like brake fluid) and is marketed under a variety of trade-names i.e.: Prestone, Zerex, NAPA, etc. I've always been partial to Prestone largely due to name familiarity and long useage...

    The SD plege

    With talk of splitting the forum, perhaps I can make peace with the following pledge: Herefore I promise to address only issues involving general mechanics and maintenance. (I've been here longer than any current poster and have seen the board go into these cycles of dispute before. We...
