I found this emergency car kit the other day at an estate sale for four bucks. They really went all out to make the carrying case look classy. I like the aerosol can fire extinguisher. The red flashing emergency light has a magnet on the back so you could stick it on your car. Also, there is a...

The spring to hold the flint up and the screw to hold the spring in were both missing. I cut a piece of spring from another lighter without ruining the functionality of it because this lighter uses a very short spring . I found a screw that fit in the bottom to hold the spring in. I had to grind...

I found this lighter the other day. I had to improvise some missing parts to fix it, but it now seems to work fine

Does yours have the pull starter? I understand sometime after cox put these on the market that they were sued for patent infringement over the starter. They then stopped selling models with the starter and replaced it with a knob at the back of the engine that you turned by a motion like you...

Found this a few weeks ago. I just recently became aware that the Cox fuel contains nitromethane. As purchased, and after some sprucing up. This model has a recoil pull starter on it

A few more cans - and one bottle

Here is a Monkey Wards oil can opener

I found a nice vintage dwell tach today. It’s branded Knight, so that means it would have been sold through Allied Radio. I bought a small shelf for oil cans, and other related car stuff. It was meant to have a sign, but I didn’t get the sign frame when I bought it. I bought some quarter inch...

I couldn’t pass up this vintage Mallory 6 volt charger for 3 bucks.

I found this vintage spark plug wire tester at a recent estate sale.

Here is a motor oil test kit from 1976. The instructions claim it can be used to test detergent and dispersancy action, contamination level, and viscosity change. I couldn’t pass up what is probably a pretty rare item, Especially with the vintage 14 cent LaGuardia stamps

This is the most unique battery charger I have ever seen. In addition to being able to charge 6 V and 12 V car batteries, it can also charge 9 V transistor radio batteries. After you were done in the garage, you can then use it inside the house to check vacuum tube heater elements. After you...

Here are a couple of interesting items. At first glance, the timing light looks ordinary. But if you’ll notice, instead of using power from the engines electrical system, this light gets plugged into a wall socket. I haven’t tried it yet, so I am just guessing as to how it functions. I think the...

For those seemingly frequently occurring knuckle busters that happen in the garage. I wonder if these were sold at Shell stations, or if they would’ve been a promotional freebie?

I came across this nice Fisk spark plug booklet. It gives the Fisk spark plug number, and the Plug gap for all domestic cars by make and engine. It includes an inspection chart, heat range chart, and installation torque chart. It cross references Fisk plugs to Mopar, champion, autolite, and AC...

I found this at a flea market. It is a little unusual because it is a combination dwell meter, tach, and timing light. This is the first time I have ever seen such a combination.

I found a Dodge coin bank. An STP pen A Mopar yardstick A vintage employee jacket from a dealership that is still around

I came across a couple more goodies

I came across this spark gap tester at an estate sale. The instructions aren’t real clear about setting the gap, but I guess after you properly set it if you get a spark from each plug wire then you are in good shape.

I found this nice notebook from the Jefferson assembly plant.
