R-134a charge is best to be done using register temps and high and low side pressures. Your description is good. R-134a has a very narrow hysteresis or ‘sweet spot’. Too much or little and performance degrades quickly.

Didn’t GM build Corvairs there?

This is incredible: In 1944, a factory outside Detroit was doing something that seemed physically impossible—rolling a completed four-engine bomber off the assembly line every 63 minutes, 24 hours a day. The Willow Run plant stretched over 3.5 million square feet—so vast that supervisors used...

After WW2 Brazil found itself with a large stock of surplus M3 Stuart light tanks, which by the late 1960s and early 1970s were thoroughly outdated. Instead of purchasing costly foreign replacements, the Brazilian Army launched an ambitious modernization program that relied on domestic industry...

The B-52s aren’t just getting engines, they get radars too. I believe that they are getting a modified version of the APG-79 that is in the F/A-18 Super Hornets (-E, -F, EA-18G).

You can go several ways. Rebuild it, replace it with an R-12 Sanden compressor or with an R-134a compressor. Lots of pluses and minuses for each.

We have a pest service that comes once a month. Several tin cat traps and poison boxes outside. The technician usually finds one or two mice or voles in the traps near the shop roll up doors. We haven’t had any rodents in the house for over a year or two. No rats and we have fields on all sides…

I was going to suggest just soldering wire to the studs and be done.✅

Got her.

I was watching a video about installing an upgrade for a Ford 7.3 Powerstroke (fuel check ball delete) and the guy used dental floss to tie around the fitting to use as a security rope in case he dropped it…

I stumbled across this video that includes an ex coworker who had worked on high performance power supplies for airborne radars at Hughes Aircraft / Raytheon. He was very quiet and did his job well. I’d say that he performs as a lead singer and guitarist as well. The band is based in the South...

Got her by looking up the cast and finding out who died @ 53. I have never watched the movie. Back under my snow covered rock…

My brother and I ‘built’ a section of the Alaska pipeline in our parents house’s front yard. We used Lincoln logs for the pipe. We both had Texaco fuel truck toys and years later, my mother dug up some rotten Lincoln logs. She brought them in and shared with me….

On this day in 1991, four generations of American aircraft carriers from Battle Force Zulu steamed in formation following Operation Desert Storm. USS Midway (CV-41) – Midway-class (commissioned 1945) USS Ranger (CV-61) – Forrestal-class USS America (CV-66) – Kitty Hawk-class USS Theodore...

Season five of Mission: Impossible marked a moment when the series’ core formula met a particularly memorable ensemble. Airing at the dawn of the 1970s, it reflected a world fascinated by espionage, shifting politics, and high technology. Led by Peter Graves as the unflappable team leader Jim...

This is the T249 Vigilante, which carries the largest Gatling gun ever made - a 37 mm, six-barrel rotary cannon that can fire 3,000 rounds per minute. Each round is almost half a meter long, tipped with a projectile that weighs twice as much as the A-10's 30 mm T249 Vigilante - Wikipedia

Clueless

I decided to install the air dam on the front bumper. The ‘new’ bumper didn’t have the mounting provisions for the air dam. So, I matched up what I could and drilled holes where the fasteners needed to go. The ends didn’t have the material to attach the air dam, so I made two brackets from angle...
