2 meter man

The new part has a mount (so not just the motor and squirrel cage). I'm having a ton of trouble trying to get the new mount into the space where it belongs.

The part is a Murray, PM9218.

So far I've taken the motor off the mounting to try to get things to fit, and they just don't seem like they want to work.

Thanks for any help.

I'm pretty new at car repair, so advice would be very helpful and appreciated.

I just replace the lower radiator hose (it had a bad crack) and when I put water in the radiator for a double check, a lot of water was leaking from the drain plug.

Yesterday I had turned and removed the plug when I was draining the radiator so I could work on the hose. Did I lose a rubber gasket and not notice it? Does the plug just need to be replaced? Is something else going on?

I'm working on a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, 3.3 L.

When my wife went to the doctor, they recommended a genetic test for breast cancer. When she asked about the price, they said about $300. We got a bill for about $2,000 (after insurance).

Do we have any recourse in this case?

The serpentine belt broke on my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. After a friend replaced it, the new belt squeaks, a lot. I didn't notice the old belt squeaking at all. This squeak goes away when I get the belt wet.

One other, possibly related issue, I'm losing power steering fluid. I'm having to put new fluid in once a week.

What's my first, best bet for troubleshooting the problem?

I just did an oil change on my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. I didn't put much oil in the filter (a little, but I think I should have put in more.)

Now I have a clicking noise when I try to start the van.

Also, I had a sliding door open when I was working on things and the battery is a little low.

What's my next step? If I take off the filter, am I going to dump a bunch of good oil?

I'm teaching a critical thinking lesson about staged photos and I thought a nice joke to put in the set of fake photos was an odd picture of Paris Hilton I saw in a photo shoot.

It was odd because she was dressed like she was going to church. There were even drapes positioned behind her to look like angel wings.

Does anyone know where I can find these images?

I seem to have a bad knock sensor on my Subaru. I've looked it up and it seems like an fairly easy fix. I'm not too experienced, changing out a brake rotor or spark plugs is about as fancy as I get.

I just wondered how much it would typically be at a shop to replace, so I know if it's worth it to try changing it out myself.

I was doing a little reading about genetics and I started thinking about gene duplication. I know that genes duplicate and create new genes eventually making gene families. I also know that the chromosomes mostly match up in pairs.

What I don't know is how the chromosomes maintain that matching of homologous genes after gene duplication occurs.

I suspect there is a mechanism that does this, but I've never heard of it and I'm not sure where to look to read about it.

I was thinking that if the blue sky prevented daytime astronomy, then maybe the light from the sky might be dim enough in the near infrared to allow daytime observing.

I've read articles about people using webcams with a filter to make a home made near infrared camera, but I don't know if the daytime sky is dark enough and if the atmosphere is transparent enough in the near infrared to allow for this to be possible.

How much does it matter if one SDRAM module is running at 333 MHz and the other at 555 MHz?

My son broke part of a fan and I'm looking for a replacement part. The part is the piece of metal that attaches the fan blade to the central rotor, but I don't know the name of that part or where to find it. Thanks.

I've been considering a thyme lawn for my new place. I have about three acres to work with and I was hoping for a solution that would eventually be low maintenance. My wife and I were talking about thyme lawns, but a friend of mine says they are very prickly on bare feet.

Does anyone with a thyme lawn know the straight scoop?

I'm pretty new to astronomy and had a question about something I saw.

When I look at Eta Cassiopeiae through my telescope, it looks as though I'm seeing a white and a red star.

I know that Eta Cassiopeiae is a double star with a yellow and orange star, but the red star I see is pretty distinctly red.

But colors are funny, so maybe I'm fooling myself.

What do other people see when they look at this binary? Am I making a mistake and looking at something else? (I'm pretty sure I'm not, but I suppose its possible.)

(I'm using a 10 inch Dobsonian.)

I'm in the process of buying a new house up in the mountains. The only problem is, it doesn't have a wood stove yet. My wife and I were thinking of putting one in for next winter.

The wood stove would be put at the far end of a long house and so I was thinking, wouldn't it help out to put an octagonal (using three sides of an octagon) reflector behind the wood stove to reflect the radiant heat out into the house.

Has anyone out there attempted such a project? Would reflecting the radiant heat in this manner help warm the house more evenly? What materials would be suitable to use as a reflector? Would glass make a suitable material for a reflector?

I remember the old series "The Mechanical Universe" had some very pretty animations for the equations they derived. It seems like there would be enough interest that a program to easily produce these sorts of animations might be around.

Does anyone know of one that they can recommend?

It seems to me (and maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong) that when calculating the percent error for angles, the usual methods

Abs( ( Theory-Experiment )/Theory ) ) or

Abs( ( Theory-Experiment )/Average ) )

would both give unreasonable answers for the error.

Consider the fact that if the theoretical value was 0 degrees, we could have a bit of a problem with the first formula. Or further, if the theory was 1 degree and the experiment was -1 degree then there would be a problem with the second formula for finding the error.

It seems like whatever method was used would give the same answer for error between 14 degrees and 15 degrees as it gives for 0 degrees and 1 degree, since the zero mark (in some measurements) could be arbitrary.

There are certain physical process where, within limits, those processes are scale invariant. It seems that there should be a quantity that is roughly conserved as a consequence of Noether's theorem.

What is this quantity? Does it have a name? Has it been well studied?

I came up with a believable formula, but I haven't yet found an authoritative source to verify the idea.

My formula is

q=e (x-y)/(x+y)

where

x=electronegativity of on atom involved in a bound

y=electronegativity of the other atom

I just bought a '97 Subaru Legacy L Wagon and am very happy with just about all of it. One problem, I'm moving up to the foothills where they have crazy fog, so I need fog lights.

Before I get started I wondered how hard is it to install fog lights from a kit?

Also: Which kits are recommended? Are there kits with LED bulbs? Are LED bulbs recommended?

I'm looking for a new (for me) used car and have my heart set on getting a Subaru. The only problem is, I'm 6'8'' and not every car will fit me.

So my question is, which models of Subaru will comfortably fit me (leg room and head room) and which won't.
