that was fun,...er NOT. Just had a wrestling match with a battery. Wife's 09 Journey with it in front of drivers wheel. :BangHead: Not a terrible job as car mechanic stuff goes, but a total PITA for just a battery change. Can't complain too much - it was the original battery.
Got replacement from Advance. I have been taking advantage of their online discount for years. Just order and go pick it up. Usually 15-20% discount. Have gotten even better a couple times now... If you go on and look at something but don't buy while logged in as I did yesterday - today I had an email with a 25% off code. :thumbsup:

Thanks. Not been a good day. But such is life.

Anyway. The polara springs are for sure shot. To jack it up to put those tires on, the axles maxed out on the bump stops before the car lifted up. Ended up having to set it on jack stands and let the suspension hang to get the tires on and off.
 
I can't believe nobody sells replacement springs for these things
 
Hey guys let's have a little behind the scenes chat. What's your opinions on NOS parts that are being sold here.
 
Today’s trivia fact...

There are approximately 7 billion people on the planet. Each person radiates around 330 BTU/hr of heat.

That is the energy equivalent of the total output from 22 nuclear power plants, or 42 Hoover dams.

It is also equal to approximately 18% of the entire US power grid.

So how many square feet can a human heat?

Just found them. Yeah I don't think those are NOS personally. Unless you got the item in the original boxes, tthen it isn't Nos to me. On top of that, I question anything that's had the identification marks removed

Approximately 6 square feet in the part of the country we live. The range across the US is 2-10 square feet depending on climate zone.

Those numbers assume an 8’ ceiling, so the cubic feet range is 16-80.

In other words, a human inside an R30 insulated box 6’x2.5’x2.5’ won’t require any supplemental heat to maintain 72*F inside in Winter. It also means that you can maintain the temperature in a 8’x10’ room if it has 12 people in it.

I agree, but would not get too excited about it. Have seen stuff on ebag 'NOS out of box' Description is what it is. Good pics... As for Holley or not, Clearly says ground off. Up to individual to compare to pics or whatever if they want to believe it.
 
Saw exhaust tips here for a demon,$340
Same set on kijiji $275 cdn. Same partno for a dart.
So prices vary. Sentimental value?
