Digging into an engine...

For the 1st time.
After filling the cylinders of the original 216 engine with penetrating stew and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, i had enough. I pulled the head off the fidy this morning, and found out why it wouldnt turn over...





Still cant quite figure out how so much water got in the cylinders, the gaskets look good. Guess im gonna get to put a 235 in after all. This is the original engine, so i hope to rebuild her someday. For now, ill likely put in an upgraded engine, a 235, which is just a better, more reliable version of the 216. Still a straight 6 engine, that is still somewhat period correct. Its also easyier to soup up.

I remember when...

A weekend at red rocks with widespread panic was something i never missed.
At least now i got panictream.com to get me by.

I had some this morning...

Long before Cap'n Crunch's sugary yellow barrels floated in cereal bowls across the land, Pamela Low got a hint of what was to come while visiting her grandparents.
"Grandma would make this concoction with rice and the sauce that she had; it was a combination of brown sugar and butter," Ms. Low's brother William of Westerville, Ohio, said with a chuckle. "It tasted good, obviously. They'd put it over the rice and eat it as a kind of a treat on Sundays..."

Three decades later, Ms. Low drew on the memory of her grandmother's delicacy to create the taste that made Cap'n Crunch a popular breakfast cereal. She died of a lung ailment Friday in New London Hospital, not far from her home on the shore of Messer Pond in New Hampshire. Ms. Low was 79 and had worked in Boston for more than 30 years at the Arthur D. Little consulting firm.

Captain Crunch has been one of my favs since... Forever. Sometimes with crunchberries, sometimes without. The only thing that sucks about Captain Crunch is that it destroys the roof of you mouth.
No pain, no gain.
