I've been building up a new computer the last few days because my old one was dying a slow death. It took longer to install the software than it did to build the computer. In the process, my internet access kept going bad on me. I thought I had traced it down to the wireless router so got a new one and all seemed well, at first. Then yesterday evening I lost internet access again. The new computer is all done and is quite a bit faster than the old one so my CAD program is much snappier.

I assume, by reading your post, that you solved the internet access problem? Good news on the faster operation.

Only time will tell. When I went to bed last night, I had no internet access. This morning it was working.

I got online and found out a fiber optic cable had been cut affecting much of the western suburbs and spreading to west central MN. It seems to be fixed now.

I'd love to know a little bit more about fibre optic cable. I was under the impression that each fibre carried different signals, like a zillion co-ax cables bundled together but repair and splicing boggles my mind.
In retrospect it doesn't take much to boggle my mind.

gophers hate the little pest, have signs on my property lines warning them that I have installed a gopher eradication program and follow it to the letter, actually it was probably a construction outfit. cutting fiber optic lines ain't cheap

Originally had a J13 in there. Replacing it with a J16.
We dropped it off at the engine builders to get dipped, decked and bored. The builder called back and had a guy in with a crate J16 (brand new, sitting in his shed for the last 20 years. After inspecting it, it all looks good. We'll put a seal kit through it and see how it goes.
It'll be seeing a little AMR500 supercharger join it in the engine bay also.
I'll begin a thread on it when we start installing the charger.
I've built a hi-volume sump ready to go. Mainly as when the J13 was going back in, the sump on it had been damaged at some point and looked ugly.
Thanks 4R8, looking forward to your posts.
Got my fuel leaking truck over to my sons garage, had to install a new tank, and lines.
Should get a bit better gas mileage now!! Lol
