    Owner's Manual from my 63 Dodge, I thought this was interesting "acceleration bursts must be limited to 15 seconds in Duration" and if it took you that long you had a plug wire or two off!

    What about this car that is living in the garage that hasn't had much done to it in 20 years, is that garage art or a seriously stalled project?

    Any rusty old car stuff I beg Loren that I can put it up on the patio or even sometimes in the house, so there is a lot of old rusty car stuff hanging around, not counting of course his 1/2 acre of rusty car stuff!
    So y'all collect tetanus shots? Just in case something gets rubbed the wrong way.

    Being a MT part and looking a LOT like a set of 8 that I have, I'd venture a guess that you're holding a Pontiac rod there. If you ever feel inclined to check, the pin-to-pin should be 6.625"

    I think my wife and I were museum curators in our past lives or something. My office bookshelves collect all kinds of weird things from bots dots to old sliderules... (including books)...

    Now that you guys mention it I do have some 3.5 inch twist-offs I've been saving for a rainy day.
