Camino

i only have about $2,000 to work with and i want to keep the engine just make it a faster than stock

Some of these El Caminos came with an anemic 2.56 rear gear……a set of 3.08′s or 3.42′s would help tremendously. Beyond that….. recurve the distributor, ascertain the vacuum advance is working properly….lean down the APT adjustment on the front barrels of your Q-Jet. Make sure the vacuum advance is getting venturi vacuum and not manifold vacuum.

i have an 81 el camino with a chevy 305 and want to buy a 2.73 posi rear axle and was wondering if it would be able to handle the engine or will the engine/transmission be able to handle the posi axle

While the 7.5" rear axle those cars came with is no Ford 9-inch, it easily stood up to all that GM put to it in the 70′s and 80′s, except of course the Grand National which got the 8.5". (So did the 442, but it didn’t make anywhere near enough power to hurt the 7.5", which the Monte SS also ran FWIW) So yes, it will hold up fine to the 305.

That said, its a terrible gear ratio, even 3.42 is anemic by todays standards, but it’s pushing what you want on the freeway with a non-overdrive transmission.

You can buy posi units from places like ring-pinion.com, summitracing.com, and jegs.com, so its not like posi in a rear end with terrible gears is worth much.

The poem is "Alma Música" by Nicolás Guillen. While I understand the gist of it, I’m an upper level university Spanish student trying to create an English translation. I’m having trouble with several lines in particular. Here’s the poem:

Yo soy borracho. Me seduce el vino
luminoso y azul de la Quimera
que pone una explosión de Primavera
sobre mi corazón y mi destino.
Tengo el alma hecha ritmo y armonía;
todo en mi ser es música y es canto,
desde el réquiem tristísimo de llanto
hasta el trino triunfal de la alegría.

Y no porque la vida mi alma muerda
ha de rimar su ritmo mi alma loca:
aun mas que por la mano que la toca
la cuerda vibra y canta porque es cuerda.
Así, cuando la negra y dura zarpa
de la muerte destroce el pecho mío,
mi espíritu ha de ser en el vacío
cual la postrera vibración de un arpa.
Y ya de nuevo en el astral camino
concretara sus ansias de armonía
en la cascada de una sinfonía,
o en la alegría musical de un trino.

The lines I’m having trouble with are:
- Tengo el alma hecha ritmo y armonía;
- ha de rimar su ritmo mi alma loca:
- la cuerda vibra y canta porque es cuerda.

I recognize that these lines do not have a literal translation, and I’m having trouble putting them into words. I tried using an online translator to at least get an idea as to how they might be translated, but those were of minimal help. I also tried looking for an English translation posted online for this, but there wasn’t one available that I could find. Any input from a native Spanish speaker would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tengo el alma hecha ritmo y armonía;
My soul is rhythm and harmony

ha de rimar su ritmo mi alma loca:
Must rhyme her rhythm my crazy soul

la cuerda vibra y canta porque es cuerda.
the rope vibrates and sings because it’s sane..
Here the author uses a play of words with the two meanings of "cuerda" (rope and sane)..

I had to create my own translation to Neruda’s Juventud for my poetry class. The objective was not for a word for word translation, but an interpretation that conveyed a similar meaning as that of the original. Here are both and tell me what you think.
Juventud

Un perfume como una acida espada
de ciruelas en un camino,
los besos del azucar en los dientes,
las gotas vitales resbalando en los dedos,
la dulce pulpa erotica,
las eras, los pajares, los incitantes
sitios secretos de las cases anchas,
los colchones dormidos en el pasado, el agrio valle verde
mirado desde arriba, desde el vidrio escondido:
toda la adolescencia mojandose y ardiendo
como una lampara derribada en la lluvia

Youth

A scent like an acidic sword
of plums in a way,
kisses of sugar on the teeth,
drops of life sliding through the fingers
With a sweet sensual pulp,
The years, the barns, the inviting
Secret places of the estates,
The used mattresses, the sour green valley
Seen from above, from the hidden window:
All the children are wet and burnt out
Like a lamp toppled in the rain.

Yes, a very excellent translation of the poem. Good job

It is used in the context: preparar el camino para el gran avivamiento espiritual que Dios tiene preparado para los Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica

Prepare the way (get ready) for the great spiritual awakening (revival) which God has in store for the United States and Latin America.

I really want to go walking in Spain this summer, on the Camino de Santiago. But, I cant find anyone to go with me! I really want to go so Im considering just going alone….Is this a bad idea? Im 19, girl, and Haven’t traveled much really…Also I dont speak Spanish. Is this a really bad move or do you think I could muddle along? :/

ok..traveling alone isn’t a good idea,because many bad things can happen to you..like getting kidnapped by strangers,getting lost and not knowing where to go,because you are not familiar with the city, or state. you should find someone to go with you, also try to go with someone that knows spanish, or just learn how to speak spanish..by taking classes, so you can communicate with the people from spain. your 19 very young still, I think you still need an older adult to look out for you just in case if anything happens. I think traveling is great, but you need to protect yourself everywhere you go..there are crazy people out in the world..just stay safe and have an older adult with you.after you find someone to go with you then everything is good, but going alone not a smart idea!!!

Look at a map – it´s not that far. I guess it´s about the same distance as the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route in Spain or even less than that, and the Camino de Santiago can be walked in a matter of weeks.
Taking forty years is frankly quite a botch job. I would be well cheesed off if I was one of the guys following him.
Why?

It was punishment for the sinful generation that left Egypt. God wanted a new generation to enter the promised land that was not corrupted by memories of Egyptian culture. They wandered the desert for 40 years prior to going to Canaan.

I am planning on walking the Via de la Plata from Sevilla to Compostela de Santiago, then from there to Le Puy, France (backwards on the Camino de Santiago). I should be exiting Spain before 90 days pass.

Do I need a visa?

If you are a non-EU citizen (American, Canadian etc.) you must have left not only Spain but also the entire Schengen zone within 90 days for a visa-free stay.

Added [because of the other questions asked]:
I always presume that an asker who asks in Y!A U.S. is an American; if someone asks in different sections of Y!A s/he should state her/his citizenship in order to get a good answer. Some people just don’t realize that Y!A is accessible all over the world..

Im looking at a place I can go here in Iowa or nearby state to buy a front nose for my 1985 El Camino. If anyone knows of a good place to go plz shoot me an email at christopher.lloyd13@yahoo.com thx.

Don’t know a place to go but a website I use is elcaminostore.com
