Re: Tips & Tricks I use a small Old Pal fishing lure box to hold all my "tune up" pieces. The bottom has a vacuum pump, the tiered shelves have various feeler gauges, plug gappers, vacuum plugs, odd ignition screws, a set or two of points, etc. It just works really well Also if your replacing...

Hey I'm new to the site also - I lived in Dwight during some of my "formative years" and still remember those as some the best days of my life! Looks like some of those pictures are on Old '66 and is the gas station in your avatar over by Odell?
