Happy birthday, WMJ and Zeta!

Hey, good to see you post again! You're still down in Brazil, huh? You must like it. Are you speaking Portuguese now? (it's been a while)...or, "voce pode falar Portugues agora?" I got to see Rio de Janeiro for 4 days in April 2003. It's easily the most beautiful city in the world, but I didn't like the "edginess," so I doubt I'll ever go to Brazil again. Oh, yeah, those older ladies on tours probably all have a sense of humor, unless they're with a church group...

Well, more high-schoolish than "little" kid: Q: How many Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: Ten. One to do it, and nine to share in the experience.

Oh, yeah, in tea. Now that colder weather is approaching, I will be drinking a lot of Earl Grey tea with honey in it, sitting in a coffeehouse somewhere. Back to pancakes...

I don't know the difference, so I had to google Aunt Jemima. That's what my parents would put on my pancakes when they made them for me as a kid. It tasted fine. I looked it up...the original syrup is corn-based. (Though I have had maple syrups, and they taste great ... I didn't read the label for the type or grade).

Do these come with 4.1 L inline 6s? These were NOT good on gas, but reliable. I'd follow the others' advice, since I'm not a Jeep connoiseur.

Yes. Changing the displacement some, the 3300, as I recall, was definitely its "little brother." I remember it well, as it powered many Centurys and Cutlass Cieras. I don't remember the 3.0 as being around that long, but I didn't realize it had the same architecture as the 3.8/3800. Nor do I know if the 4.1 litre V6 by Buick of the early 80s was created from the 3800?

Does anyone know the longevity the old 231 cubic inch V6s - those of the 70s? I heard that the odd-firing versions were not timing-chain-friendly. Still, the other components ought to be unaffected (they were all supposedly non-interference engines). Maybe the even-firing ones did a little better? (I know that the 3.8 in the '84 Cutlass Supreme was still going strong at 171,000 miles when we sold it).
