I'm sorry, i worded it wrong. I meant gotcha, i see that in order to have narrow dual belts on my 50 i'll need your balancer and my new motor and the front end gear off the old 288. I'll try the 327's existing balancer because it's here and to measure some stuff, but when it doesn't fit i'll get ahold of you for the correct one. Ahh, you meant that in an "AHA!" or "EUREKA!!" context, gotcha! LOL!

They pay $500 or more for a speaker that looks like a stock speaker out of an '87 Escort. The reason why everything's so high is because it has to be inspected over and over again to meet FAA requirements. Hell, we rejected carpet and leather (at $5000 a HIDE, I got's me some of that!) because it wouldn't pass burn certification. It's a totally f'n different world my friend.

You're telling me! I saw them sell an $80 O-Ring today...didn't look any different that one from my universal kit!! They won't sell 100LL any way but direct to the plane either. Can't take 5 gallons home to check octane issues on the high compression pontiac. Rude!

A mfgs rep can't go to ordinary store and buy or install any part that might affect the output or operation of an FDA certified unit. Instead has to be supplied by mfg to ensure part meets their specs. Some parts are mfg made assys only so understandable, but others are usually exact same part you can get from electronic or other store. Sometimes parts dept just picks up a catalog and orders but still considered a mfgs part because it was supplied by mfg. Cust pays anywhere from a hundred to a thousand to unbelievable percent more on the mfg supplied parts. Irony is if cust has their own biomed capable of working on system, they can buy the inexpensive part and install and be perfectly legal because they own the system. They cannot buy and let me install though because that would mean the mfg "blessed" it.

I hear that! I told my GF the other day that after seeing how everything works in the medical field that i should close up the IT shop and go into medical supplies...way healthier margins and half the end user headaches! I do remember one boss i had that used to work in the medical field before we met, renting bedside commodes that cost the company $100 and they rented for $10 a week...dropping off beds and oxygen and what not. The one thing he said about the subject that i remember (besides the commodes being "the golden commodes" because of how much money they made off them) is this: "Dropped lots of oxygen off, but i don't know what it does for anyone. I mean, we never went and picked back up oxygen equipment because someone got better. They always just died."

What was your final solution to the 6 v A.C. situation?

Just didn't put AC on...if i was going to go ahead with it i'd either convert to 12v, or use a step up converter with a sanden compressor and HOPE that it didn't burn out.
You could also use a compressor on all the time setup and a hot gas bypass valve, but it's getting expensive to find the old style AC components.
