Recent Maintenance Parts Availability Problems
Studeous replied to f.f.jones's topic in General Discussion
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. -
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.

Chrysler guys: Explain Fluid Drive to me!

My wife and I have enjoyed several Fathom Events in theatre. We love the films- usually classics, the great big screen/big audio format, and the sparsely occupied theatre. The seats are reserved so you can book em online and pick your favorite spot. And That film should be great on big screen!

Its a beauty.

The Fire Chief in Dallas has a new ride, and it's fancy!
Studeous replied to Steve Hagy's topic in What is it?
I dont want to play poker with that driver. -
Oh yes, the ice man cometh, with his leather apron and back cape, his ice pick in a speed holster, a grin and a flash of the pick and a chunk or two for the kiddos on the sidewalk. On those hot hot summer days on Lancaster road in Dallas. Thanks for the memory.

Reminds me of the day me and a coworker were walking the grounds of a large (largest in the world at time) refrigerated warehouse. We approached a gigantic PROPANE tank, located some distance from the building. A small wooden box was mounted near the tank. We approached the box. Inside was a TINY ABC extinguisher. I turned to my compatriat and said, well for what its worth, I would prefer a pair of good running shoes. We had recently viewed in a safety meeting a film on BLEVE catastrophes. Which added a lot to the comment.
