LOL, I figured that anyone who has seen the movie would have got it. "Makes me wish I had three hands!"

I saw something similar to that in the movie "Total Recall".

No special leads are required, but you have to be really careful jumping a 6v car with a 12v car. Things will smoke if you're not.

The hoses from the switch are for the washers.

Kevin, Gary asked a question and all he got back was comments like "And for the 12 volt crowd - what are you going to recommend when they jump to 42 volts??", the can of worms picture, and berating people. I answered the question and then get this "Not worthy of comment, regardless of who you directed it at."

If people can't ask questions about their cars without getting hounded to "keep it original" and "keep it pure" then what good is a forum that's supposed to be for the spreading of ideas? You have two individuals in particular that hound anyone who asks about modifying their cars and I never see any repercussions to them, just wondering.

Fred, my "ok" was me agreeing with you and moving on, I meant no disrespect by it at all. What I was referring to was this statement:
[quote]Modern V8's (80's) I've taken apert with 100,000 miles still have good chains and some have sprockets with nylon teeth
/quote]

Which I disagree with. All the ones I've seen with nylon have been trashed, but YMMV.

This is what I'm talking about, am I the only one who see the condescending tone in this??? There's no need for this statement at all, just answer the question instead of berating people.

I believe that would be a comment..

As for who it was directed at, well, you and the one who if you turned the corner too fast he'll break his nose.

The point is, what's wrong with helping people do what they want to their cars, instead of making them feel inferior because of their decisions? You guy's do this all the time to people and I cannot understand why. It's their car, let them do what they want to it. You're not losing anything by it other than coming across as an ass.

Like Kevin's signature, "While it's nice to be important, it's important to be nice." Learn from it, please.

Gary, the radio will need to be modified to run on 12v. Opinions on here are like arseholes, but in the end it's your car your money and your decision. I converted mine to 12v mainly because the parts are cheaper and more available as well as I plan on adding a/c. That, and I had to rewire it anyway.

Here's an idea, how about we try to help people with their questions instead of berating them on their decisions?
