Hey Buster!! Wait just a darned minute. I'm old but I tain' that darned old! :>) Yep, I've worked for lots and lots of Chevy people; 'twas the only thing I was ever smart enough to do. Whenever things went bad, I could always dive back into the Chevys 'cause I knew 'em like the backside of my hand. Did Automatic Trannys and Air Conditioning mostly; the last stint lasted from the day of the farm sale in '83 to '99. Boy! How time gets away! That 265 V8 came out in the 55s and some, but not all of the 56s. It was the only Chevrolet V8 engine, aside from the very high-end muscle cars, that had solid lifters. Alas, 55 was the year that I was learning to shave, tho. The only product that I'm aware of that GM has been pushing for years is the Top Engine Cleaner; which absolutely works like a charm. Saved a lot of engines from the valve grinder with that stuff. But anyway, my uncle showed me how to pour water into those old engines and give 'em a good steam-cleaning. I think the RV crowd still uses some kind of a water injection; did when they were running the carburetors, anyway. 'Member the old drum brakes on the front and those old ball bearing type wheel bearings? Had to back 'em off a quarter of a turn? Yep, I guess you are right, I'm just too darned old! :>) Allan

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
