Nice but the bar code stickers on the alternator just killed it for me.

I was going to make a comment on that too. Looks like someone recently replaced the alternator with one from a auto parts store.

Someone did swap out the pulley but I guess they didn't want to take the chance of voiding the alternator warranty by taking off the stickers!:dunno:

PT Boats
 
PT 658 is fully restored and on display in Portland Oregon. It has been available for fund raising charters. I was fortunate to have a tour of it about 5 years ago. It’s powered by 3 supercharged Packard V12 engines with 2500 cubic inches and 1800 horsepower each. It’s capable of speeds up to 80 MPH.

Videos taken from all over the San Francisco Bay region on social media show people responding to a creepy, high-pitched wailing or howling in the distance they hadn’t heard before.

It turns out the noise is made by new a new sidewalk railing installed on the bridge. When there’s high winds over the Bay, the air passing through the slats of the new rail design produces a high-pitched siren-like noise that carries very well over the water.

The loudest animal in the world is a mere 2cm long prawn. The Pistol Shrimp is capable of snapping it’s claw shut so rapidly, that it creates a bubble which collapses to produce a sonic blast of 230 decibels , louder than a Corncode’s sonic boom.

The Alpine Swift is able to stay airborne for over 6 months without touching down. It holds the world record for the longest recorded uninterrupted flight by a bird, at over 200 days in the air as it hunted flying insects on its wintering range in the skies over West Africa.

The Inland Taipan (also known as, the Western Taipan) is the most venomous snake in the world. A single bite contains enough venom to kill at least 100 fully grown men, and can kill within just 30 minutes, if left untreated.

The Nile crocodiles jaws can apply 5,000 pounds of pressure per square inch – the strongest bite of any animal in the world.

A human’s jaw produces 100 pounds of pressure per square inch in comparison. A crocodiles bite is 10 times more powerful than that of a great white shark

The howler monkey is the loudest land animal. Its calls can be heard from 3 miles (5 km) away.

At its peak, the howler monkey can produce sounds that reach 140 decibels. That’s as noisy as a jet engine, on take off!

White-tailed jackrabbits are the greatest land jumpers, having been recorded leaping an astonishing 21ft (6.4m) vertically.

That’s higher than 3 average sized men all stood on top of each other. This large species of hare can also run up to 35mph (55kph) when escaping predators.

The little known pangolin is the worlds most poached and trafficked animal. This is due to the high demand of their scales and meat in Asian cultures. 70% of Chinese citizens believe pangolin products have medicinal value, when its been scientifically proven to be false.

To make matters worse, their defense mechanism is to simply roll up into a ball which makes catching them a no brainer.
