YES its the MACH2 SHOW... the zany and diverse, the ultimate in un-infinite wisdom and
boredom or cure.. oh well something better to do than train a cat.

Okay its rather simple. monster (in his contract) and I pose trivia preferably ludicrous questions

clip images but please test your links!

What the hey? You's guys post a topic.. lets blow some steam off within forum rules.

Okay... how may spark plugs are needed in a V-8 engine?

:D mach

Depends on whether it's single or dual ignition. Some ol' AMC's had six bangers with 12 sparky plugs too...Dangdest big ol' distributer "I" ever seen! :D :rolleyes: :D

Ya',,i know ,,i know,,there "are" dual ignition V-8's with only 8 plugs but what the hey,,set 'em out'ta time a' bit and go down a busy hill at rush hour in second gear with a hollowed-out glass pack and listen to the windows rattle...heh-heh(kids will be kids ya' know??):p

I just would like to see the coil for the AMC, as that must have been one small dwell, about 10 to 12 I am guessing.

...and how many mechanics does it take to screw in those plugs? J C :p

Whoops, forgot about dual point setups with one coil, dwell for each set would be higher. Only one mechanic, or they would be bumping heads.

Remember 1998?

The END!

I should've NEVER listened to you guys!

:p

Looks like a meltdown with two many plugs.

The answer is, it depends on how many clylinders in a V block. :D

Y'all are talking about one mean Pacer!

Once upon a time in the distant past they made combustion engins to run on propane gas. They had dual ignition systems with two spark plugs per cyclinder. (if my memory serves) In my youth(also in the distant past) I drove a Euclid truck on a construction job equiped with this engine.

I'm going to do some research-back in a while.

Just made me think of sumpin'. How many sparkplugs in an old steam shovel? :)

Okay . . .

a) Mazda introduced a rotary engine auto in the United States in what year?

b) Okay, what was the model?

I think it was the RX7 and around 1978. How's that :D

I looked it up-he,he

It was the RX7 that used the rotary (wankel) engine..

http://www.monito.com/wankel/rx-7.html

A friend used to have one back then.. They were supposed to be very reliable but his broke down every day or so it seemed.

http://www.monito.com/wankel/dr-wankel.html

Yeah, if you're talking about the RX-7. Yeah, it had rotary and was introduced about 1978-79.

But another model preceeded the RX-7 in US . . .

HINT: the R???

fink - this early model suffered from the same problems: oil burners and gas guzzlers.

I thot that was FORD:

FIX OR REPAIR DAILY!

or was it FIAT?

FIX IT AGAIN, TONY!
:eek:

This isn't it,,but just like the '47 Nash an Uncle gave me when i was 14. Gave it to me cause the neighbor kids had filled the gas tank with gravel. :eek:

Had a 6 cylinder flathead with dual ignition. 12 spark plugs,12 plug wires. Distributor cam was ground to fire plugs in cylinders alternately and shaft ran at half speed. Pulled the fuel tank,shook the rocks out,flushed it with kerosene(several times). Tinkered with it for 'bout a week and finally got it running. My first DIY car(but certainly not the last,,lost count years ago) and was really proud of it.

Yea I had one, & I took it on a trip to Lake Tahoe from the San Francisco bay area, it had oil cooling lines that ran thru the radiator at high pressure, well one of the lines blew & boy was that a mess, let me tell you that was one fast car though. BJ

I think FORD has a big ownership in Madza these days . . .

In my way-back-there days it was FORD= Found on road dead & Chevrolet= Shove it or leave it Desoto=some Spanish guy that waded over the Atlantic>>>)))))''er was that Plymouth rock he landed on after Dodging that Barracuda???? Ehh?,,whatzat Ma?,,time for my nap?,,,oh,,ok,,,snzzzz//////....:o

GMC = Gotta Mechanic Coming

DODGE = Dents or Ditches Gets 'Em

It was the RX2. Strange ignition with two sets of points in one distributor. Not quite 180* apart.

GW . . . the man!

See where he's gonna try to get legislation passed that will let us keep more of OUR hard-earned money. The government is not giving us anything! They take LESS of what is OURS - we KEEP more of what is ours. TAX REDUCTION!! Always produces economic growth!!

:-)

DVOM - Well, according to my source, the R130 preceeded the RX-2.

So, what preceeded the R130 - and was the first Mazda rotary engine auto introduced in the UNITED STATES? All subsequent cars with rotary engines were based on this first model.

Guess on year?

FORD = f****d over rebuilt dodge from the Ford district representative in 1993 the year I worked at a Ford dealership.

Then went to work for Mazda. Mazda B210 pickup became both the Ford and the Chevy Luv truck Most parts were completely interchangeable. If I didn't have the part either Ford or Chevy had it and vice versa, if they didn't have it I did. So much for old times. LOL.....

Hokey smokes bullwinkle!! Glad to see this thing took off Not the biggest but seems like one of the better ones.

(dagg just lucky to this thing posted before my isp dsl started having problems again yesterday. Bastids!.)

A bunch of mechanics at heart. cool ! Anybody out there have one of those SAABS? the one that you
had to add oil to? No valves just ports. My father bought it for my bro an paid like $50 for it to keep him out
of trouble. Funny if you mixed the oil correctly it didn't smoke! eventually the block cracked.. (crummy cooling system but what the heck, it's was designed for cold weather.) Can't remember how many bangers it had (I think 3) it was that front wheeler with that sloping salon back to that litle tail.


Hey I drive a ford with 143,000 miles (I got a good one!) Only new car I ever bought and I'll never buy a new car again!

If you drive a nice car = somebody will steal it.

If you drive a nice car = girls will hit on you and then you pay extra just trying to get lucky or even worse get married. Then you gotta get a new one (car) all the time and take care of yours too.

So make life simple and drive it into the ground.


BTW any of you guys collect Sports CARDS? I just came into some nice BB/FB cards, shoebox full.
<[email protected]> thought I'd give you guys first shot.

mach

I got this old 79 Firebird with a Pontiac 301, currently has 208,000 miles on it. It stills runs, but it does need motor work now. I get an offer for it every now and then. Right now it is retired, pending a rebuild.
The amazing thing about this engine is that it has the same size pistons as the Chevy 350. Those old iron block engines can last a long time, with good maintenance, of course.
I have heard that Saab made 2 stroke engines. But, I figured it would have had an oil injection system, a big advantage over the premix fuel. Was that an air cooled engine?

No air cool/ had a rad. I bummed this image link.. LOL I hope he's does'nt get pissed. it is a two stroker/ 3 cylinders and you added the oil to the gas. like one quart of saab oil to a full tank. I think the dealer made more money pumping out tanks than sales.
