No light to add! Wonder what a 56 Bel Air would be like with McPherson suspension.
Put a 409 in mine, model A front mounts, drilled, tapped and mounted a solid plate across the front of the motor ground some of the steering sector off so it would clear. Haha, fun car. Of course no front bumper because! It was good to not have to push friends broken beasts. Another light at the end of the tunnel. Yea!
Valve cover leaks fixed with Permatex, yep another light. Some had problems with the 348 CI head oil passage ways.

THE FACTS OF LIFE AS ONE AGES AREN'T ALL THAT GREAT

It seems like sleeping problems go hand in hand with getting older.
I never had problems sleeping until 2 years ago. I wake up every 2
hours to change positions. I usually go to the bathroom also.
Sometimes I am awake in the middle of the night for a few hours.
If I go to bed later that doesn’t happen. Lately to bed at 10 I only sleep
5 hours and then the next night 10. Do I need to do something Physically ?

Did you know modern stuff goes back to the Roman Chariot and its 2-horse width.
Wagon axle width, train track width, road widths all due to the Roman Chariots width.
Wagons would break wheels if they couldn't fit the ruts in the roads that Rome built.
Advancements in technology gave aided transportation but still the Roman Chariots width.
So you may be right anytime you feel like blaming it on some horses Arss,

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk I have a work station...
If they arrested the Energizer Bunny, would they charge it with battery?
I believe five out of four people have trouble with fractions.


I don't have a solution, but I admire your problem.
If a tin whistle is made out of tin (and it is), then what, exactly, is fog horn made out of?
Okay, who stopped the payment on my reality check?

I believe the only time the world beats a path to my door is when I'm in the bathroom.
What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?
If a Leaf blower can clean out a floor fan, what'll clean out the leaf blower.

A better question; is there a light at the end of any question. Well, is there?

Sure, you have Chocolate, Let's have a Chocolate bar and talk about it. That sort of answer.

Father passed away in his sleep. So, in the morning, the daughter calls 911 to come pick up the body.
The 911 operator asks, "Where do you live?"says, Daughter responds, "Last home on Eucalyptus Dr."
The 911 operator asks, "Can you spell that for me? After a long pause the daughter says,
"How about if I drag him over to Oak Street with my Jeep and you pick him up there?"

The wife is incredibly angry, she has found out the hubby's been visiting prostitutes!
“Well, you can hardly blame me, it’s not like I was getting any from you,” he says!
Wife yells, “But I didn’t know you were willing to pay for it!”

Couple Semi 18 wheelers are slowly backing back the 2-lane state highway,
say 100 yards every 100 yards takes about 10 minutes. I check ahead and
see the bridge is out because of a storm. Only a passage to a Pasture is near.
I check my ‘gps’ and see a gravel road 2 miles back to circle around, its one lane wide.
those 18 wheelers have 9 miles of backing up to do. What cha doing after lunch?
Papa's going to do the short around carefully due to all the sharp bends in the
one lane gravel county limited maintenance road. .....
