Stories vary by country, region, and time period, but of course this man-made monster is generally of no-good intentions. Tales vary from the usual full moon = wolfman version to one of “between December 24th and January 6th” the afflicted will be bestialized. There are myths of how it is bad luck to either be born on Christ’s one special day, or to be conceived on it as well these result in a child cursed to have wolf’s blood. Who knew? Most of these stories are very similar in the basic composition of them they hail from some of the earliest written records of the winter solstice, prowling around and looking for any unfortunate who dared not be indoors in the dark. So how does this tie into Christmas? Well, apparently werewolves have a long history to the Christian tradition, as well as pagan ones. Perhaps someday there may be an agreeable middle ground found. In the past there were 5 recognized groups: Arctic wolf, northwestern wolf, Great Plains wolf, Mexican wolf, and eastern timber wolf. While other studies of DNA suggest at least 3 distinct species (disregarding subspecies) the red wolf, the gray wolf, and the eastern wolf. As recently as this year, 2023, there has been a paper to argue one taxonomic grouping as North American gray wolves. And thus, begs the question of how to differentiate them when the differences are so minor? And to this day, no one seems to agree. The gist of the issue is that any of the populations in question are only marginally different in physical attributes (morphological, genetic, as well as phenotypic) in addition to behavioral (social, predatory, innate, learned, etc.). However, arguments to the contrary raise the fact of their radically different habitat being reason alone to make them distinct while others still argue that in an animal such as wolves in general, subspecies would be a general gradation from southern regions of North America to the north. This suggests that the habitation of the extreme north was undertaken quite recently thus, not earning the distinction of subspecies status. Studying their DNA, there is no unique haplotypes found. The argument continues in regards to if this group should be acknowledged as its own subspecies (as it does for other North American wolf populations as well). However, most often, any interaction with them is limited to brief sightings and nothing more. There are a few cases also of wolf packs attacking polar bear cubs successfully. In some extreme cases they have attacked humans however, in nearly every case it was proven to be an animal suffering from disease such as rabies. While human cohabitation is usually a non-issue, in the cases where paths do intermingle, the wolves have shown very little avoidance. They are also known to be more aggressive to humans. And their pack dynamic is often viewed as even more strict and exacting this is often thought to be because of the higher stakes for survival in such an unforgiving environment. There are some seasonal differences such as small migrations to follow their restricted food source of musk oxen or caribou that their southern cousins aren’t required to undertake. Behaviorally, these animals are in large part the same. These wolves are smaller, generally have even thicker winter coats, graduate from a muddy looking pelage as young animals into a pure white ensemble, have narrower braincases, and larger carnassial teeth than their mainland cousins. This group of animals differs from the mainland population of North American gray wolves in a few ways, albeit very subtle differences. But of course, the highly adaptable and opportunistic canine clan was one of the few to do so. The tundra of the Arctic is an extreme habitat and one that fairly few animals have been able to adapt to. The Arctic wolf is a population of wolves that inhabit the northernmost climes of the globe generally, north of the Arctic tree line. This release is unique for a few reasons, mainly being that this is one of the quintessential species for the extreme Arctic! Now let us get into the article. The model itself is the first of its kind for Mojö, having only released one other wolf species, and the most common (read “generic”) of them at that. This post will focus on the Mojö Fun Arctic wolf #381052 released in 2022. Happy holidays to all! I hope this latest post finds you in the holiday spirit, or at the very least an “Arctic animal appreciation” one.

I got the info while tuning on a dyno, before that I just listened for detonation and adjusted the timing accordingly then connected the vacuum advance to manifold. In order to obtain those settings I had to modify the mechanical and vacuum advance systems. My engine has the highest power and torque at 28 degrees total but runs smoother and cooler with 18 degrees initial and 5 degrees vacuum advance. Some engines with a larger camshaft may benefit from less mechanical and more initial. For mostly stock V8 an initial setting of about 12 degrees, a stock mechanical advance and the vacuum can connected to manifold should give satisfactory results. Adding 10 to 15 degrees of vacuum advance at idle and cruise will improve fuel economy and aid in engine cooling.Įvery engine is different of course and what works for one wont necessarily work with the next. The problem with a late burning charge is it transfers heat to the coolant around the exhaust port. Some of the smog era cars had the idle timing retarded quite a bit in order to burn the charge as it went out the exhaust port to aid with burning contaminants along with the air injection reaction system. As the intake manifold has vacuum at idle and stepped vacuum source does not, the manifold source is usually used, although not always. To keep the fuel charge providing max cylinder pressure at the appropriate time vacuum advance is used to fire the charge earlier. The leaner mixture at idle takes longer to burn than the richer mixture. My engine idles at an air fuel ratio of 14.5:1 and has a richer mixture of 12:1 when pulling with the pedal to the floor. The fuel air mixture is leaner at idle and cruise than it is pulling torque at wide open throttle, it may also be defused with exhaust. If, once you have your max total set, you have too much initial to start the engine easily you will have to adjust your mechanical advance system to get the total with less initial. Usually best power is had just below detonation. Set total by driving the car and adjusting the timing up a degree of two at a time until you get a ping with a good pull in second gear, then back off two degrees. We want to set the timing so the car will start easily, idle smoothly and give good throttle response, once you set your total timing then tune your vacuum advance but do not adjust the total to vary the vacuum. Timing affects power, drivability and cooling, too much may cause engine damaging detonation, to little could cause low power and overheating. Most Pontiac engines run well with 12-16 initial and 18-24 mechanical but a simple cam swap could change what the car needs. Optimum total timing varies with each vehicle depending on the camshaft, static and dynamic compression ratio, rear gearing, combustion chamber design, etc. Mechanical advance starts off idle and is full in at somewhere about 3000 rpm. The faster the engine rotates the earlier the fuel charge has to be ignited in order to have max cylinder pressure in the correct piston location. The timing is advanced so burning the fuel air charge results in maximum cylinder pressure when the piston is in the most effective position. The mechanical advance is dependent on rpm and doesn't vary with load. The vacuum advance is not considered in total timing. With the vacuum advance can hooked up to the intake manifold, with a vacuum present, the timing advances but when the throttle is opened the vacuum signal goes to zero and the spring in the advance can returns the advance to zero.Īs Bob S says, the advance you are concerned with at full throttle is the total, initial and mechanical. In an HEI it rotates the pick up coil, thus advancing the timing. The vacuum advance is operated by vacuum on one side of the advance can diaphragm and atmospheric pressure on the opposite side causing the can's arm to advance the timing in the distributor. Once the throttle plate/plates are opened the carb and intake valve ore open to atmosphere and the vacuum is no longer there. Vacuum in the carb and intake manifold is created by the evacuation of the downward movement of the piston, with the intake valve open, and the throttle plates closed. Both can be measured and stated in a multitude of units but these are usually the units we use when dealing with our car's pressure and vacuum. Any pressure above 0 is that number plus 14.7. Standard air pressure of 14.7psi is usually measured as zero on a pressure gauge. Vacuum is usually measured in inches of mercury, from standard air pressure down to absolute vacuum. Nothing is 100% and this is to mainly protect my rig while parked unattended while traveling. I wanted to get input from some others on this forum that may have obsessed about this like I have. As a side benefit I have 1 key for all 4 pins, and, in my opinion I believe these will be easier to operate. These locks are resistant to bolt cutters and make the steel pipe attack impossible. I have order 4 high security, fully shrouded 1/4" shackle locks all keyed the same to use with these pins. I went down to the local trailer supply store and got 4 5/8" hitch pins with the larger 3/8" (actually, a little less than 3/8") hole for the lock pin. Mounts on trailer hitches with a 2' x 2' receiver tube opening Adjustable channel mount allows for precise trailer leveling Shank can be flipped for a max rise of 5-1/4' and drop of 6' 2' ball rated for 10,000 lbs. So, my solution is to use hitch pins and "high security" padlocks. I've learned virtually any lock can be picked by the right person with the right tools. I have also decided to rule out trying to prevent someone who has professional level lock picking skills. However, this would make a fair amount of noise so I have resolved myself to preventing a silent defeat of the locks. If someone has a cordless die grinder or reciprocating saw with appropriate blades they could cut through the hitch pin itself. So, I have 4 hitch pins I would like to lock on my entire setup with the lowest level protection being from a piece of steel pipe and bolt cutters. However, I haven't seen a test on this hitch pin and I haven't purchased one to test myself. It seems all locking hitch pins are susceptible to this attack with the possible exception of the Bulldog which uses ball bearings instead of a cut groove for it's locking mechanism. Yah, suffice to say it would take about 2 seconds to defeat the hitch pin on my truck, pull out the hitch from my receiver and plug it into any other 2" receiver and off the trailer goes. Recently a friend made me aware of how easy it is to defeat these locks with a simple piece of steel pipe. Lately I've been obsessing with locking hitch pins, of which I own 4 (truck receiver, Max Coupler pivot, Max Coupler receiver, rear trailer receiver). I do most of the things in that thread when I'm setup at camp (wheel boot, remove my max coupler, chain through the wheels, etc). I am also not connected with this company and have no interest in it other than being a satisfied customer.I've seen the other thread here about trailer security. I thought this product was unique and deserving of it’s own thread. 6 DROP/RISE RAPID HITCH ADJUSTMENT RACK (RACK ONLY) From: 113.99 Shop Now 2 & 2-1/2 NON-LOCKING RECEIVER PIN 4. They demonstrate how it outperforms other locks in theft attempts and they offer a lifetime warranty that includes damage due to theft. Shop with us today for high quality trailer hitches and gear that is strong and versatile. LifeLong’s web site has a video on is use and performance that I highly recommend. With the dust cover in place I see no way moisture can enter this lock. There is an o-ring that seals the removable head to the shaft. When the center cylinder is depressed a tapered pin running down the center of the shaft locks the ball bearings out into a recessed area of the removable end. The shaft has two ball bearings that lock the end piece on. No key is needed to lock it back and no twisting or turning just quick and sweet. To lock it back you simply push the locking end on and push in on the raised cylinder and it snaps closed. The center section of the lock pops up and the end pulls straight off. It has a double-locking system with an 18mm pin for increased security. Several impressive features make this arguably the best trailer hitch coupler lock you can buy. To open the lock, you pull off the dust cover (seals very well) and using the key, give it a 180deg. The Kovix Alarmed Trailer Lock is a premium option. It is a Class V hitch pin, and it wasn’t until I returned home and started to look it over that I realized how much better it was compared to all the ones I had seen before. It is made by LifeLong Locks and is made of stainless steel. I was surprised to find exactly what I was looking for. Well, I headed back to return the one I purchased and on the way home stopped off at Sportsman’s Warehouse to see if they had anything. I then checked the forum (I know, should have done it first!) and found out that this was previously discussed with a few options listed. After purchasing a stainless one made by Master Lock, I was surprised to find out that it didn’t fit due to the double layer of material around the receiver. One of the first things I went in search of for my new ’09 DC Pre-Runner was a receiver ball mount and locking pin.
