no way...the grand prix already has the 3.4 in gtp form and it is no screamer.
plus making it rear wheel drive adds more weight...the lt1 v8 would be good..
but i can't believe they could do all those mods and still sell the car

FOR SALE
1985 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible
Turbo-Charged Engine
Power Windows+Locks
Air-Conditioning
87K+ miles

The car runs well.  There are some cosmetic dents and scratches, and some tears 
in the upholstery.  It will need some maintenance (for instance, a new headlight
and a new fuse for the passenger power window).  This car is a bit funky, 
but has a lot of character.  It has been reliable for us.  We are selling it 
because we no longer need 2 cars.

According to the Jan-Apr 1993 Kelley Blue Book, the suggested retail price, 
with adjustments for the amount of mileage and optional equipment, is $4700.

We are asking for $3200, or best offer.  The car will be sold strictly as is.
We fully intend to be honest and up-front with regards to the car's condition.
The car is currenty located in Mar Vista, which is on the westside of 
Los Angeles.

If interested, please call us at (310) 390-2961.  
Ask for Jason or Roxanne, or leave amessage.

Engines available for 1978 were the same as those offered
the previous year, but the W-72 performance engine was
available with an additional 20 HP. (220hp) The L-78 base
engine remained at 180 hp. These were externally identified
on the decal on the hood scoop. L-78 base engines were marked
'6.6 Litre'  The high performance W-72 engines came with
'6.6 TA' stenciled on the scoop. Both these engines are Pontiac
block engines.  The L-80 Oldsmobile 403cid (mostly in California)
is marked '6.6 Litre' also.


Engine codes for 1978 :

CODE     Engine     CID     Source
----     ------     ---     ------
A        V-6        231     Buick

K        V-8        403     Oldsmobile (L-80)

As far as getting good quality replacement parts including interior
and other factory replacements, I have had
luck with Ames Performance Engineering.  They have catalogs
for many makes including a '67-'81 Firebird one. Thier number
is 1-800-421-AMES.  Another source is from Classic Firebird
Parts and Accessories : 1-800-628-9712.  Both companies
have tons of parts for Firebirds/TAs including stuff you never
thought you could find again.  I have also heard about a company
called The Paddock : (California:1-714-335-3137, Indiana:1-
317-345-2131) Never ordered from them so I cant say how good
they are, but I hear they are very good and have good parts.

Good Luck,

Hey Joe.

Mustang problem.... Very uncommon (slime).  I own an 80 Capri, and an 86  
Capri, and have never had any problems.  But at any rate, did you put a  
plastic bag around the distributor? Cover up the alt?  If the alternator  
gets completly soaked, that could more than likely be the source of your  
troubles.  My answer, is to replace the alt.  What is probably happening,  
is that the alt isn't, nor can it put out enough voltage to power the rest  
of the accessories.  Do that, and let me know how it goes.

Here is my recommendation:
(primarily for Macintosh Platform)

	*  Form*Z for building 3D models (from concept to finalization)
	*  Claris CAD / Auto CAD for 2D drafting (very limited value for
			academic set up.  Typically production oriented)
	*  CANVAS 3.1 for illuastration
	*  Photoshop for image processing.
	*  Dyna Perspective / Infini*D for Walkthroughs / Animations.

At least try the above packages before you consider buying any other packages.
Good luck.

I'm looking for a CAD package for surveyors. It has to be strong on
the classic surveying tecniques like resection, intersection etc. It
should either have good CAD capabilities or easy transferal of data to
general purpose CAD-systems like AutoCAD. The inputformat is of less
importance. The system has offcourse to be very userfriendly.

I would be very interested in comments on PYTHAGORAS and CIVIL CAD.

The program is to be used on data from an archaeological expedition in
Greece last year. Some of the sites have been measured from up to 30
different stations, so the material has proven to be too complex to
manage by hand (pocketcalculator). Our funds for the project are not
unlimited.

Date: 21 Jan 93 22:34:37 GMT

Like many other companies these day, we are moving toward using
paperless product design and manufacturing.  We are now beginning our
first project with the intention of "going totally paperless."  

We do the design of our injection molded plastics here using PRO
Engineer.  We then send our 3D models to a molding house that uses the
actual PRO Engineer models to create the molds.  Our current concern is
how we can specify the tolerances in such a way that we are sure to get
the clearances that we need.  Our current scheme is to include an
engineering drawing that gives critical dimensions and not worry about
the less important cosmetic dimensions.  Our mold maker has assured us
that they can keep plus or minus .005 inch tolerances on all our
dimensions.  I am not concerned about the critical dimensions that I
specify on the drawing, but how can I protect the design intent of the
features that I do not specifically tolerance.  I am not worried about
inspection of the features that are dimensioned and toleranced, but how
can I be sure that I can properly inspect the unspecified parts?  If the
mold maker keeps .005 in tolerances from some plane or datum, that would
mean .010 in. tolerances between any two individual features.  This
becomes a little more complicated when you are considering the profile
of a surface.  We could always put more dimensions on the engineering
drawing, but the idea is to use as few dimensions as possible while
still requiring the molder to give us parts that are within
specification.

What concerns me the most is how to tell the molder that I will inspect
the first article parts.  I need to be able to show the molder if he has
not kept the tolerances that we agreed upon.  If any one has a better
system than the one that I described above, I would be interested in
hearing about it.

For you OCTTOOLS experts, from a beginner:  BDNET questions please !

1) is there something like BDSYN's "SYNONYM" function in BDNET to create new
   named (and local) bundles by picking and choosing bits from other
   bundles (bit vectors), for example:

      NEW_INTERNAL_SIGNAL<4:0> = IN_A<2> & IN_B<2> & IN_B<2> & LOCAL<3:2>;

  ...or something like this ?  I hope the answer is not:
   
    a) I have to keep track of all individual bits myself in terms of their
       ultimate source or destination names:
         (in that case the problem still occurs if I want to tie a primary
          input directly to a primary output, doesn't it ?)

       or

    b) actually wire them through a dummy bdsyn module that does the
       bit-gathering for me and passes out my new bit vector...

2) does more complete BDNET documentation exist (more than the man pages
   distributed with OCTTOOLS) ?

3) using the scmos standard cells:  anything resembling a gated transparent
   latch, or do I have to wire my own together ??

PS I couldn't get BDSYN's "SYNONYM" (sic) function to work either...

In response to

I am having problems printing to a epson LQ-510 using AutoCAD 10.0.
I just checked the configuration, and looks like version 10. does not
support epson LQ-510. I can configure for LQ-286 or some other epson
printers but the scaled printout comes out to be unscaled.


 You could try to adjust the print ratio, you can do that when you configure
the printer, it will ask you for the measured x y dimension and the "REAL" x y
 dimensions. Another thing you could try is fiddle with the DIP switches of your
 printer to set it to emulate a IBM graphics printer, and set up AUTOCAD to use
 a IBM graphics printer, this has bail me out of some situations, it may work
 for you. If any trouble you can reach me at pgonzale@cicese.mx

Hello!
   Is there a special news group for ORCAD (Electronics designs and drawings)?
                Thanks
