Stop in for a cup of coffee

Cake? Somebody got cake? I just had brunch with Carl's Jr .

Found it. 273 Rocker Arm modification jig for locking adjusters

I recall reading that post and was amazed at the photos of how crooked the castings were. No small wonder the locknuts resisted their intended purpose.

I see the MAC man hit LIKE on that one. LOL

Speaking of the MAC man, I was in my storage garage looking for some ratchet kits and I found a few goodies to sell. Here's one. 1/2" flat head air ratchet. New in the box. Regular $393.74. I'll sell it for $100 here. When I post it for sale here on FABO I will ask $150.

It’s been a helluva day and several more hours to go until I’m done. By understanding and optimizing the timing and logistics of 3 separate vendors that all need to work in sequence, I shaved 5 days off the process of shipping 160 lbs of materials to Australia by making an 80 mile drive this morning to pick up the materials from the first vendor and hand delivering it to the second vendor by noon so they could pack it for air transport and give it to the third vendor tomorrow morning and get it on a flight tomorrow night. If I hadn’t done that, it wouldn’t be on a flight until Tuesday.

Since I had a little break before the next conference call, I finished this one to unwind my brain a bit.

Darn impala.
Abs/traction control lights.
Sensor open/shorted. Test sensor, makes a/c when wheel is spun,has continuity and isnt shorted to ground.
Wiring,same all good right to abs controller.
Tossed a coin,said replace sensor/wheel bearing.
Other option was abs module.
Seem to have fixed it.

I like the European sports cars. Had a customer back when with a XKE. Beauty and so was she. Closest thing I ever got to drive was a buddies Pantera. 135 in 3rd and I still had 4th and 5th! Like a Hemi Roadrunner with a extra gear only it handled and stopped! LOL

That particular McLaren in the image belongs to the Chairman of my former company. I took a photo of it it the parking lot at work one day and that’s what I used to create that image.
