No secrecy in the meaning of mine. Though I somewhat regret choosing it as I intended to be a lurker and I no longer have an 84 300d... Ha

Eh mines just something that interests me (love working on them). kudos by the way to the few people that know about that engine. coolest part about it was a lot of the tech there just starting to use commercially nowadays was installed on these engines originally. in the highest output form they were twin turbo, supercharged, high pressure direct injected, turbo compounded engines. direct injection is just starting to catch on for gas engines and turbo compounding is slowly becoming more common in over the road trucking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_R-3350_Duplex-Cyclone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-compound_engine

I have tried to figure out what each one`s "Handle" means over the years.
Mine is simple, it`s my name, first, middle, last. There have been some threads from the past on this same question. Charlie sent from my pos computer

I was pretty sure I'd seen the topic come up, but I couldn't find a thread. That's why I propose the sticky idea...

My name is Manny, and I like Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifles. When I picked it, I couldn't put an apostrophe. So it should be Manny's9130 but I just stick to the original. It's easier to type.

Can we combine the other threads?
A certain moderator with pixie dust should be able to combine the two existing threads (are there more?) and make it one sticky.
Right?
