That's some tasty looking fuel. iwentdoodie posted:Did that. no it was on the kart as it was still inside the van with me fiddling with both the fuel lines and the valve for the compressor. Having one of the lines pop out of the jerry can pissing fuel everywhere at the start wasn't as bad as the realization that I was pretty much vaporizing the gas in an enclosed space as I got to the bottom of the tank. Frank Dillinger posted:Tank spontaneously expanded, I assume? Yeah this was another afterthought that fuel tanks don't usually operate on positive pressure and it could've ended very badly.

If you are in the US, pretty much every municipality/county has a hazardous waste disposal site where you can bring stuff like old gas and get rid of it. You might have to pay a nominal fee.

That's a '79, and Google says this is a 1978 AMC Spirit AMX: But also showing it as a Concord so idk. 14 BAR RIFF posted:$700. 1979. 4 Speed. 4.2L. LOUVRED. Spirit. AMX. Concord or Spirit? Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Aug 22, 2016 |

I'm pretty sure it's a Concord. All the little things (grille, that bar over the roof, rear quarter shape, tail lights) look like a concord, not a spirit. Besides, wiki says the Spirit wasn't a thing until 1979.

Huh, I was wondering why the front end wasn't quite right for the year. I just figured someone put the prettier 78 front end on it for you. Once again, an AMC product turns into a confusing mess and isn't quite what you thought you were getting into. Don't worry, it's part of the experience.

I think stale gas still makes a good degreaser, throw some in a covered bucket with some greasy poo poo and see what happens. e: the problem with burning it is you need to figure out how to atomize it first, otherwise it's just a disproportionately large amount of fire for the amount of fuel involved.

One of these, with a hose stuck onto the end of the pick up tube and stuck in the bucket of gas.  Plus one of these:  Clamped to a board in alignment solves that problem. Aim away from face.

You need some sort of roadtrip, some sort of experience and time away from your current grind. You need to change the environment you're attempting to function in. You need to get rid of that loving camaro.

It ain't even tundra weather yet! And along with the lack of homeless people everywhere you look, we also don't have moss growing on everything, and we have smaller bugs that all die every year.

During Art-A-Whirl 2 years ago (a spring time art/beer celebration in the NE Minneapolis district), Turbo-Tim was drunkenly yelling from the passenger seat of his Kaiser as it was monster-trucked over junked-cars in his parking-lot. They also had a shop catte and turbo LS volvo 242 at various points. Good guys imo edit; Vaguely AMX related..I've wanted to build an AMC turbo six in the same vein as Barney Navarro's. De-stroked 4.0l using a 199ci crank and modern fuel management should fix where Barney's team failed. stone soup fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Aug 23, 2016 |

So I ran some numbers assuming still firestoned, on current meds. And adderall, if we had Avoided this whole thing and properly medicated me all along instead of whipping out your I'm the doc not you dick. $460/ month not including insurances cut. And that doesnt include counselling, dental, medical, therapy sessions, tools, my knee, my car breaking downgas, food, rent, smokes, and a bad week pay 60 hours on my feet to take home 30@$19.50/hr pre tax. Eventually you save $200 a month by switching to meth and root canals are free if your balls are hard enough.

Now that someone else did the final digging at your loving jaw, do we need to get you a cone around your neck so you don't scratch out the stitches? Seriously though, glad you got that poo poo taken care of.
