1967 Mercury Comet Cyclone 390 Gt S Code Valve Covers Rare Find on 2040-parts.com
Bellwood, Pennsylvania, US
Very rare 1967 Cyclone 390 GT valve covers, very nice emblems, chrome on valve covers is very shiny but have small pits pretty much all over, if you have seen the chrome v-covers with the three plugs in the top and wandered what they were for well this is it, the holes are for the alum. emblems to be mounted on the covers, I have only seen four pair of these in all my years of messing with 66-7 Comets and Cyclones (I have owned 12 67s alone) and I have owned three pr. of those four. Nice addition to a driver or rechrome the covers or change them out with better ones and put them on your show car.

Battery breakthrough set to accelerate electric-car development
Thu, 12 Mar 2009A team of scientists working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are claiming a significant breakthrough in recharging times for lithium-ion batteries. According to findings published in the scientific journal Nature, MIT researchers Byoungwoo Kang and Gerbrand Ceder have unlocked the potential of lithium-ion batteries by patenting a unique process which is claimed to allow a typical laptop power pack to be fully recharged in less than a minute--an improvement in recharging performance of roughly 90 percent over existing lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries generate electric current via the flow of lithium ions across an electrolyte, from an electrode to a cathode.
