If you read this your brain will hurt

I remember once a "Chivvy Person" came into the store, this person owned about a 70 Chevelle.

This persion says to me, "I need the parts to put a front axle under my car."

"Front axle" says I?

"Yeah, you know, like "Bigfoot."

I asked, "you have about 20 grand?

"20 grand?"

"Yeah, 20 grand, maybe more, because that's probably what it would cost to put all that under your car."



When I was at Miramar, when had a "non mechanic" Chief electronics tech who wanted to change the oil in his 67 Chev. He asked me what to do. I said, go in the tool storage, get the big pan and pull the obvious plug out of the oil pan until all the oil falls out. Put the plug back in, look for the filter, (I think it was still a canister back then) and unbolt it.

WELL.......'ELL.

He had the only Chivvy out of 100 that had been to a service shop, and someone had added a drain plug to the TH350. They normally did not have drains, you ----see--- where this is going?

Yup, drained the transmission, THEN put 5 quarts of oil into the engine ON TOP OF the old oil that was already there!!!

"My car won't move, what's wrong with the transmission?"
