Re: [MBZ] Pakistani life
Basically we used a country and discarded it like toilet paper. ( Charlie Wilson's war?) The net result was a million lives ruined, and CIA trained agents running amok looking for a new battlefield to vent their feelings . . When the CIA set up the International fighting Force and equipped it with Stingers to overcome the Commies ,it never thought of winning one day ,only bleeding them. The war was won and as a reward a allied country stood abandoned ,betrayed and ruined from the fallout.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924 What exactly is the difference between backyard gun factories in the Khyber pass and big factories in the States pumping out assault weapons at a rapid rate? Is there a mentality in the US that states that only you should have guns so you can control everyone else? Far as I am concerned it is not sobering stuff but a sad reality of the world that we have created. If there was no demand for weapons they would be making something else to survive, perhaps hammers and other tools to build things with. So might I suggest that you get off your high horse and lead by example. Long as you are pointing weapons at people, weapons will be pointed back. Whether these weapons are made in a hut or a modern factory does not matter, they still kill just the same.

The situation could be analogous to that of the ancients who could only perceive of a flat earth until the tools and science were available to demonstrate that the earth was round. Similarly, pre-Copernicans perceived the sun rotating about the earth until they had the telescopes and mathemathics to understand what the real situation was.

It works better if you degrease them first so that you don't have oil taking up the slack in the pivots. For a motorcycle chain, 4% is considered worn out. I would imagine allowable wear for a cam chain is a lot less than that, perhaps an imperceptible amount when not under tension.

I've heard about the Pertronix system and some others. I see that 123 Ignition (they seem to be better respected in Citroen circles than, for example, Luminition) is now offering 4- and 6-cylinder Mercedes kits, and they appear to be willing to build them to order for 8-cyl engines on request. The car is generally running OK but seems to miss a little here and there at idle, and also seems to surge/hesitate under partial load. Some of this could be injection air metering, although that probably doesn't explain the missing as it is rather infrequent and doesn't repeat over more than one firing. My question is: what do people typically do to stabilise the ignition, eliminate the trigger points issue etc etc. Just trying to make a plan on how to sort out the car, system by system.
