And both cars (some models) used a gasoline fired burner heater drawing gasoline directly from the gas tank for fuel. Knew of them yet never even considered the potential danger ... if there was one. But they were rare since most cars of the day didn't have any heater at all.

I was always intrigued with the Corvair, especially the little horizontal, air cooled 6 cyl engines and owned several over time. I experimented with using the little engines to run big pumps, adapted one to power a "Barber Green"? asphalt road compactor, built dune buggies, and several other...

The little Chevy Corvairs were some of my favorite cars in the early 60's and they had a few really unique features. One was the cabin heater and the way it worked. Anyone know how? And some early models of VW used a similar system.

Back when I was pumping it was around 13-15¢/gallon. And during a good gas war it would drop to 10¢. Dang those were the good ol' days!

There ya' are ... makes perfect sense to me!

I'm so old I actually remember pumping that gas and washing the windshields.... and checking the oil, and checking air in the tires, and most anything else I was asked to check. Not only old, but stupid enough to pump gas with a lighted cigarette hanging out of my mouth. Knock on wood, I...

This just brought back an old, old memory. Back in about the mid 60's I was stationed at Norfolk NAB. Another 3 guys stationed with me and I decided to rent an apartment up in DC, about an hour+ drive from Norfolk in order to have somewhere to go and party all weekend while off duty but with...

Well, there ya' are!!!!

It's really and truly the truth ... Haye's wife never ever sees his computer!!! ;):)

I seem to remember about every mod of 'Airweight' I ever shot was pretty snappy, and especially with +P's. If that's an issue for you, beware.

Never was a big fan of SOS ... too much of it in the service I suppose, but I dearly love me some slightly thickened, white sausage gravy spooned over some hot homemade biscuits. Oh yeh!!!!!

Oooops, I intended this reply to Old_Me on his #2 post, but when I went back to click the 'reply' tab I unintentionally went all the way back to #1. Sorry 'bout that!

Try increasing the search area distance. When I tried to find a dealer within 50miles of my zip code, I got none. When I expanded it out to the max (200) I found 5 dealers, a couple well within 100 but more than 50. One I know of personally and a good store. Maybe a fluke, but who knows? I can't...

And speaking of insufficient chlorine in the gene pool .................. there just ain't no words!!!!!!!!!!

Or maybe a 'slide bite'! I had one just like that one time ......... well a couple times ......... actually several times ......... oh hell it's happened a bunch of times! You see I'm a southpaw and to rack the thing I have to use my right hand, and that puts my palm right down on the eject...

Actually, I doubt there's sufficient chlorine anywhere! for that.

Well, the fact is that all that money spent is not theirs. It's all donated to their campaign. So in effect, the $174K/yr salary is all gravy, along with all the extras.

And I'm gonna take a really wild *** guess too that Old_Me ain't doing much reloadin' anymore either. ;)

And I'm guessing neither does Model 457's!

Let me guess Hayes, your wife never, ever sees your computer, now does she? ;)
