Quit the car business in 2002 and now work for Uncle Sam (DHS). I taught the stuff for years and even though I'm waaay behind the technology powercurve, I can still overhaul a Quadrajet in my sleep and set points/timing by ear within a few degrees. Comes in handy when I'm tinkering with my '51 pickup, but not much that I know applies to my 2010 Camaro....so, I picked up the Camaro5 forum 'habit' and have been soaking up what I can; just to keep my car going if nothing else. My Snap-On tools are abit dusty from lack of use, but I'll never sell them. I've got some catching up to do from the looks of things, but at least I'm not starting from scratch!  |
You have a better grasp on the internal combustion engine than most of the mechanics I work with on a daily basis... But that to be expected from an old school Hotrodder..
I think I may be switching to Royal Purple next go around..
