What is this a picture of?

note: this post will bear no resemblance to the factory fan finish thread! :)

EDIT from post below: Prize: If you have a son, or nephew, who wears 12M - 7, you get a cool t-shirt.

we've got some Spring stuff in inventory.

Spring 07

So this doesn't get stoopid, I'll end it tomorrow afternoon.

one last thing, the answer is definitely Technical. this has driven me nuts for 2 years, just ordered a ton of parts from Pelican to fix it, only to find that none of them will. In fact, to fix this, without ordering an entire new part, doesn't require any new parts.

OK, seriously. How about Mars and its moon Deimos?

Hmmmm, hardly any light in that pic at all. So, I'd say it's got to be a Porsche lighted key! :D

A leak in your AC system and the propane in the R12 alternative has ignited into a small pilot light type flame.

The interior dome light above the drivers side door.

Though I am not sure how you could spend a lot of money trying to fix that.

SCWDP911 06-20-2007 07:13 PM

your headlights prior to the H4 conversion???

Shaun @ Tru6 06-20-2007 07:15 PM

good guesses so far, but this is a bona fide technical post. it's part of my 69, but could be on an 89, with proper modifications.

From the title, I thought you were counting the seconds until W and Dick are out of office.

We have a winner!

For 2 years I've been trying to source this tick-tick-tick, and gotten advice on the board from worn MFI throttle body bushings, valves, head studs, etc.

None of those fit, and doing the best I could around hot, tight surfaces, muffler and exhaust were inconclusive.

With the motor out of the car, I was going to pull the exchangers and put all new gaskets/hardeware in, and of course that means oil return tubes too (still need a set of good used collapsibles, have new O-rings). By R&Ring the entire exhaust, I'd at least eliminate that system. Last night I was scotch-bright grinding my muffler down prepping for paint and I noticed weld dimples here and there. As I ground a particular rusty area, 2 spots showed up, but couldn't tell if they were through the skin.



With all lights off and a flashlight shining through a muffler intake, little rays of light spilled out of these two spots.

With other dimples here and there, now I'm considering just getting a new muffler all together.

Thanks everyone for playing.



Tim, let me know what shirt(s) you like and size. Not everything is in stock, but I should be able to fulfill second choice if first is gone.

This has gotta be the best "what's this" ever posted. Thanks, Shaun.

My wife...who would vote for Atilla the Hun if he was a registered Republican...just brought home a new bumper sticker. Despite being blonde she even understood it....

Pm'ed ya Shaun!

I guess I got lucky with my internet diagnosis (guess) :D

Tim Hancock 06-28-2007 05:07 PM

Thanks Shaun!!!!!!

I was shocked to open a package today that contained "multiple" cool little T-shirts with motorcycles and airplanes on them!

My nephews will be thrilled and will no doubt think their "bad" uncle Tim is the greatest uncle on earth! If you ever need a favor Shaun, let me know! :)

Shaun @ Tru6 06-28-2007 08:15 PM

hope the boys like the T's Tim. when we get into men's this fall, be on the lookout for a WWII Bomber Girl nose art T for yourself.

Hope to stop by going out west this August, or on the way back in September.

Definitely look me up if you are west or east bound on the Ohio turnpike.

Thanks again
