I was actually wondering about that same thing, but really couldn't find much information on it while searching the interwebs yesterday. So out of curiosity I ordered another traditional style coil and will see how it works and report back.
Love it!Lastly I got a new pair of socks a buddy sent me:
We don't need no stinkin brakes!
Ya'll have a good one.

This photo was close enough!I didn't feel it appropriate to show the sock for the brake...

this was the result:
They aren't making you synchronize everything, but I'm opting to do that for my birthday month which is when my license will expire in a few years. This way I'll know early Feb. to look at all the tags and my license to ensure they are up to date. To add to the confusion though if I buy a new to me vehicle some other month but Feb. and I don't transfer a plate from something I've sold I have to register it that month the first year, but the next time I can roll it forward or backward to Feb. Clear as mud? At least I'll be less likely to mess something up having them all due at the same time.
Jollygreengiant,
I now have to tell on myself and an occasional habit of procrastination. A few years ago my mother dropped off 3 of these chairs for me to strip and repaint. They were either my grandparents, or great grandparents, I can't recall for certain. Being that they were made in the lead paint era I opted to use a twisted wire brush to do most of the heavy lifting while wearing a respirator and safety glasses outside on a very windy day:
As you can see I had to remove a few coats of paint, here it is after stripping the majority but before disassembly:
It is now disassembled and bead blasted awaiting paint. As usual I expected it to be a 2-3 hour job and I'm not 8 or so hours in. Also Sunday afternoon the wind slowed down so I took the opportunity to spray the yard for weeds, I'd still like to spray the pasture, but may not make it this year due to many circumstances.
Keep Moving Forward,
JB
I was a little off on what I remembered seeing at Atwoods, they have a similar style, but not the shell style back. Here is a link just in case: Atwoods Chair
Back when the old cars weren't that old, my cousin had a '68 Mustang GT. We swapped a 610" Boss-429 he got from a tractor puller. Didn't really need a transmission with that one, but the toploader was fun. However, under full go the front end was so high and got so light at around 100 that's all we ever took it to, momentarily. College for me was 110 miles away on deserted 2-lane state highways. I wasn't working that year so money for gas was tight. I put a 2.73 rear in my '66 Chevelle and after putting a piece of 6' wide flat at a 45 degree angle under the front bumper, the car got extremely stable at 120+. With some 60 mile of open road, I'd let her eat and get home quick, but a roommate had me beat. He had a '69 SS396/375HP and was 350 miles from home in South Dakota, For school, the M-22 came out and was replaced with a Saginaw 4-speed with an overdrive from a Saginaw 3-speed stuck on it, and the same 2.73 rear. We added the front spoiler to his car and immediately it became a joy to drive at speed. While acceleration wasn't it's forte, he would blow away my Powerglide equipped SBC. Both cars were heavily modded and would pull 6000 RPM which is crazy fast on farm store tires, but we had much less worries back in the early 1970's!On top speed topic, I get a laugh out of people telling 'old' stories of going 150+ in 60/70s muscle with non OD trans and rear end gears that couldn't even do it, or suspension control to sustain the speed. No point in arguing.
When I was 18 my dad and I got our 1969 mustang on the road. Full resto, new everything. 351, Top loader, 3.50. At 100, you needed both hands and both lanes, and that was almost 5k in 4th. In comparison, my 87 mustang with suspension work and rated tires would bury the 140 speedo and sustain that speed in control for distances longer than I ever should have driven.
Now old, I try to avoid such activities but still do shorts bursts of triple digits often enough.
