The city streets are so narrow and twisty, the tanks got lost, and had no addresses to use as landmarks. Things went downhill from there. 1 1 Quote

Alpo Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 After your suggestion, I relooked at the picture. I now believe that what I thought were two dots after the number 10 are in fact lowercase "M"s. Where's The 10 m m 1 2 Quote

He laid out the tools on the ground in a row, sat me down next to them and crawled under the car. He stuck his hand out and said something like “give me the pliers.” I picked up something, probably a screwdriver and handed it to him. He would hand it back and tell me what to look for, like movable parts and I’d try again. I learned my tools quickly and by the first grade I could identify a 1/2” wrench by the symbol. Not saying I new my numbers, but I knew the symbol that represented the word he said. By 9 I could pull the single barrel carburetor off of a 1937 Buick, take it down stairs to the work bench clean it and rebuild it from the parts kit, then put it back on the engine. Dad would dribble a little gas in it while I stepped on the starter button. Once it was running I would adjust the idle stop and mixture needle. Dad was busy repacking the wheel bearing. Once my younger brother got trained up the wheel bearings were my job. I liked the carb better, not so messy. CJ Edited October 10, 2021 by Cactus Jack Calder Alpo’s friend OTTO 4 3 Quote
