![]() The Road Runner was so well-received, Dodge got into the low-price muscle game a bit later with their Super Bee package on the Coronet. The Road Runner package proved to be very popular, and would become an icon in the muscle car world. Since the Barracuda name went E-body in ’70, Plymouth introduced the Duster to the world. The introduction of the E-body pony cars (Barracuda and Challenger) stole some of the A-body’s thunder along with their big block engines. More big changes to the A-body line happened in 1970. Complete books can and have been written about these very special cars, so here we’ll just say these cars represent the pinnacle of Mopar A-body performance and collectability! The big bomb for ’68, though, was the limited run of 426 Hemi-powered Darts and Barracudas built specifically for the drag strip. Also in ’68, the Dart GTS package appeared for the first time adding some nice muscle car style to the performance offered by the 383 engine. ![]() The 340 was designed from the outset as a performance engine, and when installed in the lightweight Darts and Barracudas was an exception performer capable of humbling many big-block cars of the era. First, the famous 340-inch LA small block was introduced. I'll add more to this as I work through the swap.In 1968, things really took off. In '69, the Camaro and Nova shared the same subframe, but in '70 the Camaro moved to a front steer setup ('67-69 were rear steer) while the Nova continued to use the '69 design into the mid-70's. In '68, the lower control arm bumper was moved to the back side of the lower control arm, while in '69 it was moved to the front side. Early '67 models do not have an opening on the inside front rail to adjust the bumper bracket, and the lower control arm bumper is mounted on the subframe behind the shock. While the subframe on first generation Camaro's and Firebird's are similar, there are small differences between each year. The quote below adds some additional information from the following web site ![]() I believe last time I checked there were a number of different spring set ups.Īlso, when you changing form an automatic to a 4 speed there are some very minor linkage issues, the repro kits list that they fit 68-69 only, apparently there is a missing hole or nut on the 67 frame that needs to be added (I have notes somewhere). Depending on what you have, the SB Camaro and Nova use different springs from the BB, and also from the 6 cylinder, and I believe the Firebird springs are different again as the Pontiac BB and OHC-6 are different animals. This will affect ride height and handling. One of the items you have to keep in mind when interchanging these sub frames is the springs from the donor sub frame. The original 67 frame has some issues, I also have a 69 Firebird sub frame that has been completely redone, but has some minor damage, and another donor sub frame from a 4 door low mileage granny driven 73 Nova. I'm doing a second restoration on my 67 Firebird ragtop, I've had the car for 25 years. ![]() Tips Is downloading a YouTube video legal?

It's the same reason people use restraints. Just like a blindfold, some hoods allow the dominant to control if the person in the hood is able to see, use their mouth, close their mouth, smell, or even breathe. It's a fun addition to roleplaying because it's a little easier to pretend to be someone else when no one can see your face. During 18th century mascarades, it was thought that wearing masks to hide our faces was an aphrodisiac that would free people from the moral standards of the day and allow them to experiment with their desires without being identified. You may find you feel less self-conscious with a mask on or be turned on by the idea of a faceless dominator. Hoods can disguise our identity and allow the wearer a sense of freedom and release from inhibitions. Kinksters and people experimenting with spicier things in the bedroom get into full-face coverings for all sorts of reasons but the mains ones are the freedom of being faceless, to exert consensual power and control, or for sensory deprivation. ![]() (We're not all villains but you get the idea.) Why Would You Want to Wear a Hood? ![]() Hoods that are more decorative or hide the person's identity, are often more for Dom/mes. Hoods that tend to restrict and control senses like ones that cover your eyes or mouth tend to be for submissives. It depends on the hood and how we like to present ourselves. It’s unclear if that gag can be removed or replaced but if you like the idea of keeping this in your sub’s mouth and locking it in place, this might be the hood for you.īoth. They kind of buried the lead there and surprised me as I scrolled through the pictures so you want to be sure you look at all the photos to see what you’re getting. The gag section has an attached rubber gag in the shape of a black dong, complete with veins, that fits perfectly into the silver-ringed mouth hole. There are two silver-ringed eye holes underneath the blindfold. It’s designed to be able to use the three small included padlocks to lock these in place so there’s no way they’re coming loose unless the Dom/me removes them.įor some people, this might be a little bit too risky as there isn’t a fast way to get the hood off, but you can always choose not to use the padlocks. There are three buckles, one to secure the mask around the neck, one to secure the gag, and another to set the blindfold. This one’s a little more hardcore than others. Schoeni’s Pink Locking Full-Head Mask is a good fit for people who love pink or for humiliating a submissive who doesn’t enjoy wearing pink. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, any and all breath control work requires a great amount of communication from all parties and active, continuing consent. Zyam makes a black and transparent hood with an even larger balloon around the face if that’s something you’re into. The extra latex material around the face allows the hood to expand and contract resulting in a satisfying clingy look when the airway is blocked. It comes in six sizes to ensure a proper fit. Just because it’s see-through, doesn’t mean it’s flimsy either as, at at 0.4 millimeters, it’s the same thickness latex as most other masks. The latex is transparent allowing you to see the face of the submissive underneath and allowing them to see out. The opening is just big enough for the tip of a tongue to peak through and can be easily blocked with a finger. The 100-percent latex hood zips securely up the back of the head and has a small opening near the mouth as an airway. Fans of breath-play should take a closer look at this Transparent Breath-Control Hood.

![]() Occasionally shaking the container caused some almond particles adhered to the container's sides to fall into the blades’s path. However, it somehow hit a snag in extracting oil from the almonds, an essential stage for the emulsification process to occur.ĭespite operating for an additional three and a half minutes, the interaction between the almonds and the blades was minimal. Unfortunately, the Cuisinart found itself in the latter case.Īctually it did perform well in the initial grinding stage, turning 2 cups of roasted almonds into a finely ground texture in only 45 seconds. The test concludes either when the machine offers a creamy texture for the spread, or when it is clear that continued operation won't yield any significant improvement. In the almond butter test, we do not specify a set duration for each blender. We recommend considering other higher-powered blenders like the Vitamix 5200 and Ninja BN701. Its lackluster performance can result in a less-than-desirable texture and frustrating overall experience. In short, if your intention is to use this blender specifically for icy treats, be aware that this may not be an ideal choice. Prior to this, it seemed as though the blades were engaged in a feeble dance with the milk alone, lacking the power to conquer the solid frozen fruits. It was only when the frozen fruits started to thaw and soften that the blender showed a slight improvement. Not to mention our attempt to even out the blend during the process like shaking or stirring. Eventually, it was disappointing to find that the Cuisinart’s efficiency in handling frozen fruit was not up to par.Įven after reaching our maximum allotted time, the blender still left behind a considerable amount of unblended chunks. We conducted this blending process with two criteria in mind: either stopping at the 5-minute mark or achieving a smooth mixture. However, there are alternatives that work faster yet deliver similar or even smoother results, such as the Oster Pro and the NutriBullet. If a touch of manual intervention doesn't bother you and a bit of extra blending time isn't a deal-breaker, the green smoothie produced by the Cuisinart SPB-7CH may well be worth your effort and patience. And after this brief interruption, it took this machine an additional two minutes to churn out a final result that was flawlessly smooth and chunk-free. As we noticed it was improbable for the Cuisinart to pull food towards its blades to improve on its own, we decided to pause the blender to guide the kale back towards the blades using a spoon. The kale, on the other hand, was still a stubborn contender, remaining virtually unaltered in the blender's whirlwind. ![]() The fruits, for the most part, were successfully transformed into a liquid state. Despite a full minute of blending, the blender seemed to dance around the core task at hand-as bananas, apples, and kale stubbornly retained their original form.Īnother minute of blending tells a tale of two halves. In this test, the Cuisinart SPB-7CH’s performance fell noticeably short in its capability to attract ingredients towards its blades. ![]() Since dominating the American motorcycle world since 1903, only the best rear shocks for Harley Davidson touring have been able to withstand so many miles on the road. Highly recommend.We hope you love the products we recommend and just so you know that as an Amazon Associate & J&P Cycles affiliate, MyEngineNeeds may earn from qualifying purchases. For $850 bucks (after internet price matching) I think these are a great shock. ![]() ![]() I was around 80% happy with initial setup but now I feel like I've gotten similar to others that think their shocks truly transformed their ride quality. But for me these did change after settling in for about 1000 miles and I did have to be very careful w/ the sag to get the best out of them. So if anyone has questions you're welcome to PM me, or post. For comparison purposes for anyone else trying these I've not got my sag set at 14 threads, I'm at 180 lbs, wife at 135 - and this time I checked my sag by putting my bags back on for each check since I figure they add another 40 lbs or so. So I'm very happy to finally be in the WOW category. Very stable and just seem to take out 98% of the "road rumble" while cruising and handles big bumps with dignity. Now that I've got it set more precisely - my single rider sag is right at 1/2 inch - the ride is absolutely great. Most of the time previously it was fine, but occasionally it was still rough. I think the needle valve construction - as Russ said - is very sensitive is correct. They are GREAT compared to stock and really now significantly better than my first impressions which were good. Long story short - I'm thrilled with these. And a few partial twists of the shock made a difference. Probably took me a half dozen attempts before it was right. so basically I'd set, ride about 8 or 10 miles, check and re-set. ![]() So, I re-set them and found after riding a few miles they had changed. And in talking with Russ, due to the design of these the sag is more critical than most other shocks. I'm not a top 10 wrench in the world, but found out that I probably really wasn't getting my sag set well enough. I've been happy with these but still felt things that left me feeling I was short of the "cushy" ride that some others said they got with these. I've got over 1000 miles easily on these now and decided to re-set my sag again, taking my time and doing it right. So far I'm VERY happy with them, but will update after more miles.Ĭlick to expand.What good timing! I was just going to update. And I didn't pay any installation - very easy to do if you have a jack you trust. I got the $850 price by them price matching an internet cost. And I can say I do see a clear difference w/ the adjustability, and it's very very easy to adjust them. Definitely makes me want to improve the front end now. Then I think we still feel bumps in our cars, and my wife's SUV is a luxury model, so I think expecting to feel nothing on a significant bump is a pipe dream. There are times I hit bumps I feel w/ the front and don't feel w/ the back, and I've hit some bumps where I say "crap, I still felt that". I can definitely tell an improvement right from leaving the driveway, but I really want to get more miles on. Ranged from totally backed out "soft" to a couple of clicks. I did about a 75 mile loop into the mountains a week ago playing w/ the settings. The weather has been iffy, so haven't had a chance to ride 2 up yet, which is what I'm most interested to see. I'll definitely give an update after I've ridden enough to have a meaningful opinion. You could also use a plastic zip tie and achieve the same results.įrick'n ay! All this talk about putzin' on the bike and all I can do is look at the snow on the ground and single digit temps. Now go for a ride and then observe how far back up the bumper traveled. Not hard to do, just easier than with fat fingers. I had to use a flat screw driver to walk it down the shaft as it is pretty snug. Here's a helpful tip: You can use the rubber bumper on the piston shaft as an indicator to see how much of the travel is being used. These shocks seem to be pretty forgiving with there anti bottoming technology. Now I just leave the spring set for 2 up and adjust the compression clicker when solo. We set the sag for two up with help from a third person measuring and adjusted the springs for 3/4" sag. Didn't need much tweaking for solo, and then just set the clicker up a couple to my liking. I have the heavy springs and they came with the spring threaded back completely. When we are doubled up and loaded for touring we're talking 430# ish. Do you mind saying what weights you're set for? I'll definitely be playing w/ the settings a bit. I think they were going to set two clicks in. I'm still set as they set it for our weight. I just did a 20 mile loop and all still good. If I miss out on tracking sometimes, that's no big deal. If I eliminate the need to make a new spread every week or month, I can just keep rolling the dailies. ![]() The reason for that is that I found myself slacking off with the bujo a lot of the times when I had to draw up a new monthly or weekly spread. So I'm in the process of preparing those spreads for next year now. I've changed my monthly spread to account for removing what I used to do in my weekly spreads. I think I'm going to add a budget/financial goals spread next year.Īfter all that I just do dailies like Ryder Carroll writes about in his book. Helps me verbalize my thoughts about myself, be critical of what I do and hopefully improve. I write down what it is, why I'm doing it, what my obstacles are and how I can overcome them. Like weight loss, hiking, better sleeping habits, etc. I have a few pages for yearly "missions", like big changes or projects that I'm doing. I'm a hobbyist photographer so I like having that tracked, see what went well and what I want to do again. I have a list where I write down photography outings. I have a list for when I use contact lenses. If I still want it, I try to budget for it, otherwise I cross it off from the list. I write it down there first, then I come back to it a while later. I have a big list of all the birthdays among my family and friends. ![]() I also have a couple of spreads for calorie tracking and weightloss graphs. I do this because I like to get an overview of that. I have spreads where I write down the books I read, movies I watch and games I play and one for suggestions. I also track how I feel, my stress levels, sleep and some other habits. I do all the monthly spreads at the beginning of my bujo so they act as my future log as well. On my monthly spreads I have a one line journal where I summarize each day with a few notes. Track things that are actually useful for you to track and you'll get a lot out of it. Don't track random things to give yourself something to do, otherwise it will just be a chore. So think about what you do on a regular basis (or not so regular) that you'd actually want to keep track of or record. I have one for tracking movies that I've watched, not because I want to track that for the sake of tracking it, but because I sometimes want to recommend a movie and totally blank on the name. I have a spread for tracking progress on work projects. ![]() I write to pen pals, so I have a spread to help me keep track of who I wrote to, when and what I wrote about. I'm a fountain pen user, so I keep a currently inked spread. I've found that my most-used spreads are specific to what I do on a regular basis. And if you add a spread that you never use, the worst thing that happens is you have an empty page in your notebook. The great thing about bullet journaling is that you can always add a spread anywhere you want, so you don't have to know everything when you start and can add anything at any time. The following command finds any line in the file list that starts with the letter b.Ī dollar-sign ( $) metacharacter indicates the end of the line.
