Nope, its just my biggest problem or curse showing its self again.
You can't imagine how frustrating it is to know pretty much everything, but not have it cataloged. Every so often some previously unremembered fact or information will drift up to the surface from the vast depths of my mind's data ocean.
No idea when or how I first saw or heard about that site. But, when the guy posted the question about engine code SMC, instead of what it was coming up, the thought popped up that the site with all the numbers might help him. So, I checked it out, did not see that code, but then realized I had not heard of it being posted here, so I put it up.

Like the guy said on that great British show, Couplings, you do not want to know about my dreams..........
But, never owned a Camaro. I did help a friend of mine do some terrible things to his in the late 70's when going to school in Orlando. Helped him install a nitrous kit, beefed up his drive shaft when he wrung it off.
I locked him in his trunk and drove around over bumps and railroad tracks to help him find the cause of that loud banging that seemed to be coming from the trunk when he hit bumps.
When I heard him scream, I let him out. He climbed out with his hand bleeding from a puncture wound.
It seem he had installed some rear shocks with strong helper springs, or air shocks, I don't remember which now. That knowledge has sunken into the depths.
The lift was too strong for the top shock mounts, and they broke off. That let the sharp square headed screw on top of the shock punch right through the floor of the trunk up on that little shelf right behind the rear seat.
When you hit bumps, the screws shot up and down in the holes.
He could hear it, but not tell what was causing it. So he stuck his hand up there and it punched a hole in it.
But, we found the problem.
Talked some poor welder guy into rewelding the mounts laying on his back with the weld splatter falling back in his face. Did if for a case of beer.
I was gone for the summer when he somehow managed to shoehorn a supercharger onto the 350 for the summer. Used a hood out of a junkyard so he did not have to cut his. Pulled it all back off when school restarted.
I did manage to talk him out of some of the wilder ideas. Such as converting over to a dry sump oil system.
Oh well, if I get started, I'll be posting another one of those long boring stories again. But, someday if a good fact pops up, I'll post it.
Right now, I keep getting glimpses of something. Its either a faster-than-light drive, or a link between the old luminiferous aether theory and dark matter. maybe both. I can't quite see it all, just a little piece sticks up every now and then.
I have long thought that the Michelson-Morley experiment was flawed. Of course later experiments seemed to back them up, but I think that they were looking for the wrong things.
Its funny, if you mention the idea of a luminiferous aether to a modern physicist, he will throw up his arms and tell you that the idea of that was completely discredited decades ago, and Einstein's special theory of relativity put the final nail in the coffin.
But, you ask him about dark matter, and he will describe some of the exact same properties that used to be attributed to aether.
Drifting again. If I don't wrap this up, I'll be starting a rant about the Double Slit experiment and Feynman's explanation for it.
For those of you with dirty minds, here is a quick primer on the Double Slit experiment.......
