So, who has taught you about cars?

So, who has taught you about cars?

After 41 years , I still don't know 5H1T .
What little I do know is all self-taught . Self-taught meaning :
- Reading
- Trial & Error ( lots ! )
- Friends

Like just about everything , my knowledge is so spotty ; ask me to decode a 1968 - 1980 Chrysler v.i.n. , and I'll do it no sweat .
Ask me how to set-dwell on a breaker point distributor , and I'll just look at you and drool .

Ask me about what lubricants to use , and I'll bore you to tears .

Start throwing cam specs around , and you'll lose me .

I know about old octane rating methods vs. new(er) octane rating methods , and I can tell you .
( basically , give-up 5 octane points to the old system ; 87 octane = 92 octane in the old method . "R+M/2" = Research octane number , plus Motor octane number , divided by two . 95 RON + 105 MON = 100 R+M/2 ) .

So , yeah ... all my knowledge is like that : spotty , but learned the 'hard' way :thumrigh:
