First motor replacement, I installed a junk yard motor in a friends 68 Grand Prix, being a Chevrolet guy I installed the plug wires in the wrong rotation. When it didn't start we went and got another one. Every motor I bought off the garage floor, as opposed to out of a wreaked car. Every last motor I bought just sitting on a garage floor was a disaster. On the other hand just about all the motors I have got out of a wreaked car have been absolute gems. That's why when I raced, I always did my own final assembly. I swear just about all of the small block Chevrolets you get that someone has worked on will have a rag in the valley area and a 7/16 wrench in the oil pan. Back in the day I was called in to help diagnose problems on engine start up and failure to run correctly usually for SB Chevrolets. The common practice of just twisting the distributor back and forth while cranking the engine will often cause cam failure with high performance flat tappet cams and valve springs. Failure to use actual cam lube didn't help. I know everybody believed that pouring a can of STP down the lifter valley was the way to go, it is not. Nobody appreciated being told they had wiped a cam lobe. That's why if I built someone an engine I always started it. How come nobody ever knew how to static time? I guess you need to start out working on a 46 JD A with a mag.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
