"His collection of hit and miss engines was a real treat to see."
They are such fun to watch and to listen to them running.
I still have a few, but had more before the thieves moved in.

[QUOTE=nkaminar;2052787]I drove down the Greenville today, 3 hours each way, and was able to help John sort out his ignition problem.]

There is no way I can express my appreciation for what Neil (nkaminar) did for me, drove for 7 hrs. on a holiday weekend and lengthened his "Honey Do" list to fix a car that I have been fooling with for 3 weeks or so. He showed up when he said he would and corrected the problem in less than 1/2 an hour or so. He had all kinds parts and tools that I never knew existed along and a meter that I have no clue what it did. As I understand it everything was within the recommended specs, but the cumulative total of some specs. being on the high side and others on the low side caused the problems that I described. No written trouble shooting guides I know of would have found this without the meter he had (that probably didn't exist back in the days). I consider Neil a real friend even though the chances of crossing paths again are probably pretty slim. When I asked what I owed him, he said - aw, whatever you think, I gave him some $'s, he peeled two 20's off the top and said here, that is too much. I could not have asked for or gotten more than I did from Neil. Thanks again Neil - it was a great day!

Good job Neil ! Getting another A back on the road, that's what it's about.
