    I bought this over 30 years ago and never opened it. Been sitting in the back of a closet most of the time. Since I haven't drank in over 10 years, back in the closet it goes.

    Knocking in a cam bearing, and it's tight

    parallel parking is a lost art.......

    Back in the day that's what the bumpers were for. In the city people would bump the cars in front and behind until their car was in.

    Lights Dim at Idle

    Yes, very easy for me to misunderstand as he explained everything at once and it was all new to me. It looked like he replaced half the alternator with another half. Can't remember which half. Didn't take him very long.
