No issues here. New format doesn't particularly appeal to me.

I didn't think that would start this early

[PToombs]

Article on the news site said people are buying them up within minutes of the announced closing. I haven't looked on CL here, I don't like Twinkies that much. On the other hand, I love Zingers and
Ho Hos, probably too late to get them cheap now. It also said some other company may buy and start making stuff again, we'll see. Be funny if the people that are hoarding this crap get stuck with it.

By a seller with no feed back to boot. Doesn't sound fishy at all.

You need your head examined if you pay $10 a box for them let alone anything more.

Do you guys think gas has gone bad if it's the color of apple juice?

[dazedandconfused]

I swear everyday they amaze me more and more at work. I start the morning off putting new tires on one of our gators to find bigger problems.





Asked the woman who uses it how long its been making noise and she swears it never has. I just shook my head and walked away.

Only if it taste the same

Can you tell a difference if it gets in your eyes? I'm going to say bad gas is a step above brake cleaner. The fuel filter had pressure in it in my new gem.

Ya'll figure a distributer is set right if the rotor points to #1 on the cap and cylinder #1 is at TDC on the balancer. It's been a year since I last worked on a gas engine. The PO messed with it and I'm trying to decide if it's right or 180* off. Supposedly an injector is bad.

What kind of motor? Pull the cylinder #1 plug and stick your finger in the hole then have some one bump the motor over till the compression blows your finger out. No room for a finger,use a compression tester hose.

Ford 351W fuel injected. I'll get to that tomorrow. I ran out of light and this whole school thing gets in the way Suppose I have cyl 1 at TDC compression and the rotor is at 1, then timing is dang close, true? I know fires at 10* BTDC, but you get what I'm saying. I'm trying to rule out spark and pin it on fuel. I bought a basket case, intentionally.

The book assumes I know this, and you know what happens when you assume
