Ahh… When I worked in the local shell station in the late 60s, we had to check the oil and give out green stamps….

Or just run open headers until that fixit ticket.

Back when fixit tickets were still free

When all your bones crack like mine, sometimes without even moving. I can be just sitting there, and a knee or elbow will just be lined-up to crack.
Except for my back. It won’t crack for anything.

We called them "lakers" or "lake pipes" as in "She purrs like a kitten til the lake pipes roar" (Giddyup 409)

The stuff from McDonalds has NEVER looked like the ads or pictures at any point in time!

If it was the starter it would be right above the gas pedal so one could toe the starter and heel the gas pedal. And it would be quite a bit larger as it also was the "lever" that engaged the starter motor to the engine flywheel. Learned from experience. Dad had a 47 Chevy when I was a kid
