    Same brothers that gave us an overhead cam HEMI in 1910 also gave us the plugs?

  5. Maybe the Indian Head shellac is made by Indians instead of Indians?
    Don’t forget color, I’m sorry sir, those brake pads will not fit a red car, they only fit the blue cars!

    Don’t you just love google, I remember the days scratching around to find the old high school dictionary only to find out the word was not in it , well if it was really rubbing your ass raw you’d have to go to the library and get a real dictionary for a little satisfaction. :)

    Beware: hitting hammers head to head can cause flying chips. Both hardened steel. Protect your eyes. I have chipped hammers as proof.

    They do make excellent grape juice. I especially like the white grape juice!

    Surprised there hasn't been a Raquel Welch reference here.

  11. Here's a little off topic---and it bugs me.
    Chrysler--Is it a valley cover or valley "pan"? .
    Of course it's a cover--it COVERS the lifter valley!.
    Changing the oil & filter on my truck tomorrow. It all starts with pulling the drain plug out of the oil cover. While its draining, I'll be cooking bacon & eggs in a frying cover.

    I tried every trick in the book , different methods/sealers/glue/lighter rad. cap pressure etc. no luck, seemed good until I was 15+ miles away from home ,then bang, one would pop out.. screw that, got the bolt-in s.s. ones from hot-heads> FIXED> now it's the only kind I will use. and they are cheap too.
