If the tech takes the part off and lays it on the parts desk, the parts "specialist" says "make, model & serial #". If he can't supply that, the part doesn't exist in their eyes. Now the commissioned tech has to put the part back on and say he cannot fix the problem.... at his expense.

I've owned well over a dozen classic cars and wrenched on every one of them. I've also owned over a half-dozen motorcycles and ridden them for a total of more than 300,000 miles. Yeah, I guess you'd say I find them therapeutic.Col.

They were very spartan in those days, and most of them didn't have all the electric and electronic gadgets that aren't fundamental to a running vehicle and just get in your way.<BR/><BR/>I'm partial to the Chevy 6-cylinder from those years, because it's very basic and easy to work on. A Dodge pickup with a slant-6 is good, too. <BR/><BR/>If Col.
