Midlife

You're not looking hard enough...

That tool is the worst POS I've run across. Never worked for me.

Holy crap! Those are some exhaust manifolds!

Yeah, I've yet to find a glove to keep LT off my fingers. I have a permanent case of dermatitis, or so it seems. Oh well, cost of doing business. Oh, and that isn't the wifey, that's Ms. Bank of Midlife. There's extra charges for "handling" if you know what I mean. Oh yes, in addition, there's substantial penalties for early withdrawl. It's fun to run a bank!

You sure you're measuring mpg and not mpl?

Absolutely not! I use LT exclusively (I go through about 5 gallons per year) to clean wiring harnesses, although some plastic plugs from 70-73 seem to "melt" with LT is applied. In those cases, I use Formula 409 or vinegar. The only wires that LT will remove the color are those wires that are painted at the factory. Typically, they are fuel sensor lines near the trunk area, fusible links, and occasionally lines that go to the coil. All of these wires have very thick rubbery insulation, not the standard PVC insulation. PVC colors and stripes are impregnated into the insulation as they are extruded during manufacture. Don't believe everything you hear or read on the Internet. Back in 1998, the wifey warned me about going onto forums, as they are frequented by Internet Ax Murderers. Nonsense. They were Chainsaw Murderers.

The green wire is normally for an AC car, but for Boss cars, it is a run-only line that I suspect goes to the carb solenoid? The other line typically is blue/red and is for the shifter lamp. Take some lacquer thinner to the wires to clean them up; I have never seen two green wires with large female bullets past the firewall.

The kill switch will work well on the line from the coil to the points. Me? I simply remove the gas tank and carry it around with me. Anyone who hot-wires the car isn't going to go far with what little gas is in the carb.

It's simply amazing how the tree growers can get tree limbs to grow into these consistent shapes and still be so thin. I've heard that it helps to have Nagas nibble on the trees.

We're in contact, and boy, is that plug UGLY. Usually with burned wires, I end up replacing the whole harness, as it is much easier to do.

Yup, you'll need it, as it provides full battery voltage to the coil only when cranking. You'll need that full battery voltage as everywhere else, the voltage will drop significantly due to the starter cranking and all the internal resistances of systems (including the infamous pink resistor wire) of your car. As an example, the ignition switch shuts off every ACC circuit whenever the starter is cranking to allow as much voltage to the coil and starter as possible.

Touche! That's all right...just remember, I control the Smoke Jeannie...tee hee...

Let's everyone send a PM to RidgeRunner and cause him a Denial of Service! Just kidding...just kidding.

Is this the same as what is known as an English Wheel? Gawd, I'd love to have one in my shop!

That ain't no wagon, more like a convertible. Why not be up-to-date and make it an SUV? I like your idea of a hidden cooler.

All I know and all that I can say is that two heads are better than one....

Home alignment is not rocket science, and I've done it several times with excellent success. I've always taken it to an old timer's shop, and he's been impressed with my results, just tweaking things ever so slightly. There's a number of tools out there that will do the job; this is the one I use. https://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/RPWCasterCamberGauge9500/Caster_Camber_Gauges The one trick I read about on the 'Net was to use large plastic trash bags, folded in half, under the front tires so that they can easily be turned without friction, which would alter the readings.

File a patent on it, or I will! *G*

I remember a thread a while back when RR shipped a hood out and the package contained some bees, but we won't tell the DA, now will we?

Fake facts! Fake facts!

Yup...new technology: movie magic aka CGI.

Dang carpetbaggers...

Mach1Driver: Excellent description, and you took more time and effort than I can do it justice. But, but, BUT: you had to let out the secret that electrons flow from negative to positive? For that, you should be banned from the Exalted and Holy Electrical Union and forced to turn in your union card! *G*

It should end up in a male/female molded two pin bullet plug. It's mate will be a female/male 2 pin bullet plug, with the female having 2 wires (red/yellow and red/green) and the male being the pink resistor wire. If the tach bullet plug has been cut off, black goes to the pink resistor wire and red goes to the female bullet side (2 wires).

They are for Air Conditioning (AC).
