There is evidently an atheist in charge of this board, so I will not bother posting here again. You can reach me at shope.shop.org
I very much appreciate the information you guys provide. I can only recall my memories through the early part of 1960. From then on, I was either...
A few words on d'Alembert's Principle: This is something every engineering student learns, usually by his second year. In as few words as...
You should watch Kent Hovind some time on YouTube. He has a lot of fun ridiculing the flat earth nuts. If you think the flat-earthers have lost...
A bit of trivia: I was one of a group of graduate students who helped Van Allen collect data on that which would later be called the "Van Allen...
No, there's still a Hamtramck, MI (checked with Mapquest.com). Remember: This was DODGE Main.
Name is familiar, but it's probably because someone mentioned it here. Changing the subject: I've been eating some kielbasa lately. My student...
OK, here's a Mulligan. We'll see what happens.
Probably a hiccup. Haven't seen this before. Thank you.
The OUTPUT is 400 multiplied times the transmission gearing. Remember: Chrysler offered models with the torque converter ahead of a manual...
Just noticing your 'vette. I had a '54 and a '56. Had 4.11 gears in the '56 and wasn't beaten at Cordova in the stock class until those nasty 283s...
The converter torque ratio is constantly changing as you accelerate. The stall torque ratio is that which occurs when the input torque is at a...
This is saved in my "signature" line: https://www.shopeshop.org/. Why it isn't showing up in my posts is beyond me. During my working years, I...
I'm about to give up for tonight. I just seem to be making things worse. Don't laugh! This'll happen to you when you reach your eighties!
OK, I think I've fixed everything. I can remember my student number from the fall of 1951, but I can't remember if I fed the dogs this morning.
One last try: https://www.shopeshop.org/
I see I've been trying...since Page 1...to change these things. I guess it was not meant to be.
No, it doesn't work. It's still confused with that "earthlink" nonsense. Sorry. I'll try and fix it.
Unfortunately, you're not taken to http://shopeshop.org/ Of course, I don't know if this link works until I post and try it. Here goes!
Whatta ya know? Now that nobody is following this thread anymore, I finally got it changed!!
I've tried again to change my URL. It's supposed to end: "shopeshop.org" Let's see what happens
As I've said before: The biggest Ramchargers' mistake was made when they ceased to be a car club and became a corporate entity. A AA/FD has...
I can't remember if I gave you this link or not. It's an earlier history I did.
Yes, there are still some of us around. I've emailed one and tried to get him to post. Believe it or not, there are some old timers who'll have...
When you start talking aerodynamics, things get fuzzy in a hurry. For instance, Chrysler feared the aerodynamics of the '60 Falcon before the race...
I've just finished an Internet search on the early Ramchargers and all I can say is, "Wow." What a bunch of inaccuracies! I can only assume that...
Not that I know. I'm 82 and I was the "kid."
At my age, I'm very fuzzy on geography. I have trouble remembering my street address. I remember Troy Simonson (another Ramcharger from Iowa) and...
"Leaning tower of power." I like that! I hope you have been able to locate a Hyperpack intake manifold. The Offy 4bbl manifold works pretty well,...
If they did much with the slant six, they probably know Pete McNichol. As far as I know, Pete is still around, but I haven't heard from him for...
