  1. Next time you talk to this person, ask if they have a lifetime membership in the Neptune Society… just sayin.
  2. A CHICOM CLIPPER? They are quite rare, you know.
  3. Well, if those are jeeps for sale, these two must be finance guys.
  4. I must say, what handsome shape, and lines this car has. Sounds like it is coming along nicely. Keep us posted!
  5. Worked with a guy who had a “family fleet” of half a dozen G.M. cars: wife, grown kids, mom, mom in law, etc. That he maintained. Days of the delco remy combo pack, the capacitator and points one unit. He insisted on buying them at a cut rate auto place that sold the 49 cent oil, the white box bearings, etc. The point sets came in a white box, no name, not sure it even had a part number on the box, the price was very very cheap. Dont remember the amount, but c.h.e.a.p. We were in a vans and would often ride together for some jobs. It was a common occurance a page would come in for him, one his units was beached somewhere, broke down. No start, or died while motoring along. He always carried spare white box points, and off we would go to do road side trouble analysis/ correction. He always put a set of points in his pocket, to save a walk back to the van. the analyzing part was easy. No spark, change the points/capacitor unit. Go figure. and he loved their brake pads and shoes. Of course you had to always open the box and see if the lining was still attached to shoe. I always think of him watching the “just rolled in” channel on you tube. And I dont always go to a parts counter for my parts nowadays, but when I do, I always insert “4 doors” during the interrogatory part of the interview. And the kiddo usually gets a puzzled look, thinking he or she missed a page of the menu. And the old guys (like me) chuckle. They get the joke. Thinking about, it seems that point capacitor white box unit was $1.85 or so.
  6. Greetings. The aree outboard of the exhaust port, lighter color, with screws- is that for decoking the ports of the cylinder? That is a very nice looking scooter. Thanks for sharing.
