I love some of the comments. "Most people in the 70's knew how to work on their own cars" is just great and about the biggest farce I've ever heard. I made a lot of money in the mid to late 70's and beyond working on other soldiers cars that about the best they could do was an oil change on their own! I'm not talking officers. I'm talking enlisted and NCOs. But I saw diminishing knowledge of the everyday person about auto and home repairs in the 60's.

And the 70's cars being simple to work on? Heck by the late 70's many were so bad you couldn't even see the engine because of vacuum lines and EPA mandated stuff. What a pain to do even simple things!
