RW> It had more, but I was on a California freeway too close to town.
 
You were wise beyond your years.
 
RW> I find places like that around here too. Their owners already know what
RW> they've got and their prices reflect that. Down by SA, I found a yard
RW> that had all kinds of untouched old cars, just sitting there waiting for
RW> the rust fairy to finish them off.
 
It's really a shame.  One of the vehicles he has that I would have wanted
at one time was a VW bus (picture on the way).  Sort of like the VW truck
with glass all around.  I wanted to buy it off him for a reason I don't
recall, and he told me the engine needed a part, but never got around to
changing it.  That bus was in mint condition at the time and I would have
helped him work on it.
 
RW> There's a piece that looks like a large umbrella over the valve. To
RW> adjust the lash, you have to remove the cam follower and take that
RW> umbrella out and take it apart and play with shims to get the lash right.
 
I was right.  I didn't want to know.
 
RW> My neighbor across the street in Poway used to work on those in his
RW> driveway. Some of the engineering on that car is whacko...
 
But they do look like 1930s gangster cars, don't they?
 
RW> That was Dryfuss' initition to join a car club. The same guys who robbed
RW> the pin-ball machine when they visited Dryfuss' college fund
RW> contributors.
 
The pinball machine part I remember, but the rest is vague and probably
because I kept looking for the blonde in the T-Bird, whose name I didn't
know at the time.  I was distracted.  Blondes do that to me.
 
RW> It was a boring town, so we had to liven it up a bit. :o)
 
Nothing like New Orleans then.
 
RW> I wish I had something like that in my Z28...it's getting to hard to get
RW> into these days.
 
You know how tall I am.  If my feet were at my knees, I wouldn't have a
problem getting in and out of the Mark VIII.  (-:
 
RW> Most of it is picked early so it can make the trip from South America
RW> without spoiling. I'd love to have some cantelope, but it's all too green
RW> for me. I don't buy bananas after the mesquitos get active...the banana
RW> affects your system so your smelll attracts them to you.
 
Where I used to buy bananas, the store stopped buying Chiquita brand and
got another kind instead.  The quality isn't there.
 
RW>RN> Quadrajet.
 
RW> I like those carbs...everyone else hates them.
 
When I was taking a free class at the GM Training Center in N.O., one of
the things we were required to do was strip a quadrajet and put it back
together.  Wasn't difficult at all and he was really good at his job.  It
was strange that the instructor's surname was the same as mine.
