I have tried, with NO success, till I'm blue in the face, to get Brent to send Richard a means to get back, via his current email address, to reset his logon.

Ken,
Instead of focusing on what you can't do maybe it's time to do what you CAN and simply log in on as a new account and write down the log in info. Once back on Tech can post, link to old posts he made, and lobby with Brent/Bill to get his accounts merged under the new name. Just a thought....

Please, tech, bring your wisdom and spirit back. Back under any name is better than gone.

I'm working on that. Once I get his computer up and running I think he'll come back with a variation of techinspector1

Good guy .................

.well the bible is a book of prophecy .. perhaps in 1549 it was prophesized that Bill would write the psalms in his 46th year ..

the gift that keeps on giving .. i dont suppose i have posted more than a dozen or two times on here my grief with a few crack heads that i Have the unfortunate pleasure of knowing ,, numerous thefts of property and numerous fruitless calls to the sheriffs department .. even with 4 warrants to one of them they are still out .. recently one of my credit cards was declined .. of coarse i look into it and find 4 thousand $ of unapproved use over the past weekend .. they know that i cant stop anything on a saturday or sunday .. so i check my other bank account and find i have written a check for 6 grand to this same person ..; i havent written a check in 15 years .. no need to .. but i kept a blank defaced one in my wallet for account info ...it is clear as day the check was whitewashed and forged but went thru anyway ...i call the law and get the same run of the mill run around ..can a buddy on here loan 10 grand till i get back on my feet again ..

is there a repair for a wiper scratch in a windshield ? i dont drive my pinto in the rain for various reasons but one is the wipers are a joke .. my last cruise lap into tennessee i came across a popup downpour and as soon as i turned on the wipers the drivers side wiper flew off .. i was only 5 or so miles from home so i kept on going while looking thru the passenger side of the windshield ,, i did not think with the water splashing so hard that the metal arm rubbing my windshield would do that much damage so quickly .. you can feel it with your fingernail and it is of coarse right in the line of sight as i drive .. i have used the Cracked windshield repair before with success but have not tried to remove a somewhat deep scratch ..you tube is of no help ..

I came across this Hoss. Hope it helps.

This talks about polishing a windshield - https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Scrat...m-a-Windshield
Note in #1 it says if your fingernail catches in the scratch it's not repairable, and the glass should be replaced.

i'm guessing if you have insurance it's covered, if not I bought a truck with a cracked windshield, to ld the guy I wouldn't pay what he wanted unless the windshield was replaced. He said he had a guy who could do it that day for two hundred bucks so he took that off the price and the guy came, installed and left in a two hour window. I got his number for future issues! My point is there are alot of car glass guys who moonlight on their off days

another long time no see post .. every since i built my V6 4,3 chevy pinto 20 years ago it has suffered from cold start issues .. even in warm weather .. i have electronic ignition and have wired it from the stock pinto HOT wire from the beginning .. i have recently found that if i hook a hot wire from the + battery to the + on the coil it will fire off immediately regardless if warm or not .. then i simply unhook the hot jumper and can go all day with normal ignition .. can i hook my + ignition to a post on the solenoid and solve this low voltage initial start up issue .. i understand electronic ignition needs 12 volts to operate but i dont know where to get 12 volts on my old points style wiring system . i dont want to go MSD as they have gotten too pricy ..

I had a problem on one of mine, and I was powering the ignition/injectors from the battery connection at the starter. During crank the starter would draw so much that the voltage there dropped to less than 9V. Hooking a wire direct to the + battery terminal to feed my "Ignition" source fixed the problem for me. If your Ignition Switch has a dedicated "IGN" position that's your spot because the "BAT" feed to the ignition switch is direct.
