This will be another attempt today at trying to up-load this thread, due to "mechanical/electrical" deficiencies. Is it me, (?), my files, (?), the site, (?), only the Shadow knows. Very frustrating. :mad:
You senior members might remember my old thread on my junk-yard test stand. It incorporates an old F body frame on an aviation transport stand. Because I currently don't have a vehicle running a traditional Pontiac V8, I have no means of testing equipment or components used on these old cars. So this frame uses a well worn in Pontiac 350, (Thanks to Jack) to do carb, or tranny testing. Here's a couple photos of the stand, to get an idea of where we're at.(https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/bb453/tajoe/Run%20Stand/.highres/Run%20Stand%20008_zpstrl8slgx.jpg?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/tajoe/a/2ed9e23a-a906-4945-b5f4-1383aa30707d/p/9a6e84d1-9a6e-4694-a644-a8040c66de5d)

Not the prettiest thing known to man, but works for what I need...kinda.
The carb. used today is a 17057266, (77 W-72) that I freshened up quite a while ago, but unfortunately has collected dust. I ran a video of it running back then, to prove its authenticity, and have needed to "retest" it, to ensure no mice or spiders have nested inside. I took a quick video of it running, (on my Cannon SX720 digital camera), and it took forever to up-load to my computer. And because it wouldn't load onto this site, when I tried B4, I posted it in my Photo-bucket account, and there it also took forever to up-load, but finally did. So once again, I tried to post it on another attempt, but to no avail.
So what I'm trying now, is to see if I can post a link to my Photo-Bucket account, and see if that works. fingers crossed.

When I've tried to view this short video, it suges and stalls worse than my carburetor rebuilds, but I found that if you pause the video at the beginning, and let the load bar work its way across the bottom, (or put up with the stalling, and go back and replay it) it'll have less of a tendency for it to "hang up'. Hopefully it won't do it on your attempts.
Sorry for the inconveniences.

I was able to see the video Joe, and it sounds good.
-
Thanks for posting Jack. I'll PM you tomorrow. Have a good evening. :)

Video played fine for me and I didn't pause it or anything.

Thanks to you too John, for letting me know. All my problems might be from my Commodore 64 computer that I'm running. :shock:
-
Shoulda got a TRS 80!
-
Those are worth some serious money :shock: :lol:

Now you're "not" speaking my language. I barely knew what a Commadore 64, (Vic 20?) is, never mind a TRS-80. Had-ta look that one up in my Funkin-wagnals.
Not only does the video stall and break-up on my computer, it does the same thing, on my wifes lap-top. Maybe it has something to do with our internet provider?
-
It seemed to rake a long time to load for a 1 minute video but then it played and sounded fine for me.

Well, I'm glad it played fine for you too. Every time I try it, it breaks up. Wonder if it would play better on You Tube? Not sure I remember how to transfer it over there.
