Pete, Thanks for that. I couldn't find it or I would have posted it. If I remember correctly, Bob Shellady first came up with that instruction some years back, note that he mentions Radio Shack! I haven't seen him on the Barn for a while, (Supereal) hope he's doing OK.

Alan,

I checked obits after reading this. Sadly, Bob passed away September 23, 2023. He was a great mechanic and helped so many people. He was also a true gentleman. RIP Bob.

Ken

Ken,
I was afraid of that, and reluctant to follow up on not hearing from him in so long. Bob's son carries on at the shop, but relied on Bob to do the flatheads, which of course he enjoyed! Yes, he was a true gentleman.
