AK - This is what I wound up with. Looks like it might be some fun to play with.

Been messing around with an Intel NUC too. Pretty cool little units.... pricey, but cool.


EDIT: Might help if I put the link... LOL

 

Hell, 50 for a kit isn't bad, when the Pi itself was 35 or 40. Love these little suckers. I wish I would go back to playing with it. The weather is cool right now, so I might just have to indulge. lol

 

Have you ran Windows 10 IOT on them yet? Curious how well it runs.

I want to run an additional monitor for my security system..... playing around with the NUC gave me this idea. I'm going to buy a 10" or so monitor so my Wife can see the cameras from the kitchen..... to see if she wants to answer the door, LOL.

 

No I haven't. Raspi, Phyton Ubuntu, and one other are set up on cards for the use. I bought a WD 320 HD for it on sale for $23, and have that sitting in the box. I was going to use it to build my own game console, but with the Nintendos out now with 600 games, for 25 or less, why? lol

 

I saw those kits that come with a case that looks like a Nintendo. I actually just bought one of those 600+ game Classic NES's at Christmas time. It's pretty cool, but the picture isn't as clear as I'd like it to be - and there was something in the instructions that said it wouldn't look as clear on the newer LCD/LED/Plasma TV's.... kind of weird I thought.

 

Huh, you guys see this, user ibd posted it awhile back. Was just looking through it. Pretty good for a quick reference, -

Wow hadn't see that, I have a ton of his hacks/foxes bookmarked but I will definitely bookmark that too

 

Sorry I keep dumping Highboy questions here but y'all answer faster than FTE lol, I appreciate all the help too

Anyway does anyone know why I have a threaded hole behind my timing mark?

 

FE's used different style timing pointers in different cars/trucks, so the had the extra hole for the small one. That cover could fit so many engines, that they have it as 1 fits all, sort of. There are ones with the pointer built on also. I only saw one, and it was on a 427 r/h boat motor.

 

Here is one from a 62-68 FE car engine with the small pointer.
