For those who are around my late grandfathers age (80's), the majority of their life was spent around carbs and points. Kids coming onto the scene today probably have never worked on a piece of equipment that even...

    Anti Solar Farm People

    Quite a few of the solar farms are going in on farm ground. Its a waste as that land will never produce food again and it ruins the look of the country side. Honestly, why dont they build them onto the roofs of the thousands of warehouses and factories in this country?

    Oil out of sparkplugs?

    Bought this little TO-20 awhile ago and while using it recently it seemed to develop a oil leak out of the spark plugs? I pulled all 4 and they were very much coated in black carbon. I replaced all 4 after making sure the plug holes were clean and they continue to weep. I did a compression check...

Anyways, when they moved into it back in 1963 they decided to cement the outside walls instead of repointing the grout. Im looking to begin redoing the house...
