[quote=ironman_gq] I happen to live in the city that moved and has the worlds largest open pit iron ore mine, the small city of Hibbing :lo1l: . We just happen to have the most regular earthquakes of anywhere with them happening every wednesday at 12:00PM exactly.[/quote]
You may want these links then ... :shock:

Our earthquakes arent natural. every week the mine blasts at noon on wednesday. depending on which side of the pit they are on it can be hardly noticeable or if they are really close and the clouds are just right they can blow the windows out of your house. the whole town feels it :lo1l: and its not small Hibbing covers about 186sq. miles and every inch of it will feel the blast.

You kinda learn to tune em out when you live with it. we got a hole in the ground more than 2miles! wide and a lot of smaller ones that run very deep. Most of the city and the other towns around have tunnels running under them up to 2500ft deep.

Is there anything left of the dragstrip that was in Keewaten a few years back?

Howdy, all.
I'm Adam, from Colorado Springs. Stationed at Ft. Carson, in the Army (I'm a medic), getting out this month. My project is a 75 CJ-6, originally had a 232/3spd, getting a 401/TH400 and 60's front and rear.
Oh- and "Conflicted4WD"- I have the Jeep and also a Toyota 4Runner as my light-duty trail rig/daily driver, so I get flak from people on both sides of that one.

Hey everybody, my name is Eric. I'm a junior mechanical engineering major at Virginia Tech and a big Jeep guy. I have a 1990 YJ with SOA and 35s. I'm being given an AMC 360 for free and I can't wait to learn. I have never really worked on engines before except for oil changes and a little bit of trouble shooting when I blew the head gasket in my YJ. My plan with the 360 is to use it to learn how to build a motor by tearing it down and building it the way I want it. And eventually it will replace the 258. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
Eric

welcome Hoki06
good luck with that motor and take your time, I'm in the process of rebuilding my first one too :lo1l: you will love it !

Hi Hoki06 :!:
As our college from Quebec said take your time. Be clean, methodical and think 4 parts ahead :wink: As you delve into the block make sure it worth rebuilding before you start buying any parts. If you spend a grand on pistons, cam, etc and then find the block is cracked - well, you have bigger headaches.
When you start putting the pieces together, think about how they all need to work together and make sure alignments and rotations are correct -putting on a cam gear/chain out of alignment (and not realizing it) will lead to serious frustration when you try and start the motor and can't figure out why. Then you get to break it all back down and start over on the front side. And remember; on AMC V8's the firing Order is: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 with the distributor rotation being [b][u]Clockwise [/u][/b] starting wihth the drivers side cylinder numbering (front to back) : 1 3 5 7. Not that ANY body ever wired a 360 backwards #-o :oops:
You'll be fine-just let us know how it's going and ask ANY question you may have. We've all been there at one time or another. 'Rat

Roger here. Not much in to the jeep side but in to amc for a long time. I race a gremlin that I bought in 1973. I met MC at cordova in 2007. I won no box and got runner-up in amc eliminator. My gremlin is a 1972 factory 304 that was orderd with 4.11 gear no power steering factory disc brakes. Now a 401 that has run a best 10.57 @ 127.I have a lot of other amc cars.

Welcome Roger
How about a post (of all your cars) in the pic section?
amccar
Thanks. I am new at this computer and learning.I will take some pics as soon as I can. For those of you that went to cordova you might rember my gremlin. It was the orange one that won no box and runner-up for eliminator.

Zip here (aka.zbd) just found the forum while searching for info on what would be the best vacuum location to hookup to for a brake booster upgrade on my slightly modified '80 CJ7 (pics posted in another section)
