Once the belt is stretched it must get easier.

Can't even remember ever changing the belt. Forgetting that stuff used to bother me. Doesn't now though. Forgot how to get bothered. --Vic |

(R.I.P) Maybe the belt flipped the screwdriver out of his hand and it went through his heart or throat. |

Since I put away the timing light and dwell meter I don't get my hands near a running engine. Checking trans fluid and sometimes touching around with a steth probe is about it.

Just makes me remember .006" and .008" for some reason. That's probably wrong too. But I really think I would have turned the crank pulley for that without using the gen pulley. Seem to recall that I could easily turn it by just grabbing the belt. You know these engines? I put a Bosch centrifugal advance distributor on mine straight off when I bought the car and did the jugs. Think the jug/piston/ring set was only about 60 bucks. The dist about the same. Ever hear that high-pitch noise coming from them? A little white lube on the dist cam follower fixes that right up. I took care of mine and it never let me down, but those engines were always going to suffer blow-by after about 60k miles. Metallurgy more than anything else I think. They were so simple they were fun to work on. --Vic |

My first car was a '61 VW with a pull-back sunroof and a blown engine ($125). $250 in parts and the manual and I was in business. Think I rebuilt that engine a couple of times. It ended up a baja bug. It's sale financed my move to S. Cal. I worked on 'em for the next 5 years, earning a living while going to school. Not an easy living but totally worthwhile. Worked my way up to a dealership in L.A. that sold VW and Porsche and built a large inventory of tools. Lusted after the six cylinder version of that aircooled engine for years. What a lovely sound they make. |

Didn't work because I had lost the title, so I had a boneyard pick it up. Had a '67 Squareback later, but it was just trouble. Good memories with the bug though. First car I got into working on, thanks in large part to that book - can't remember the title - but it was probably the first real "for dummies" book. Went a little beyond that though - ground my valves with compound, stem chucked into a reversing drill. Worked fine. Who needs all them angles, eh? --Vic |

In the five years forward, I'm sure I touched every part of every version of that car. Squareback, Ghia, Bus. The squareback was a bitch. Remember knashing my knuckes on the sheet metal while pulling plugs on tuneups. Good thing it was S. Cal because doing that in cold weather can make tools fly and customers run for cover.

There was nothing like turning bolt or nut with a Snap on wrench or yanking a tool out of the lower drawer that made a big $ job a 20 minute turnaround. Those tools paid for themselves in little time. When I was ready to move on to my next career, the service manager looked at me and said "you vill alvays yearn to have a leetle greeze under your fingernails. When you can't take it anymore, you come back and see me." He was right but I was never tempted to turn wrenches again for a living. It's way more fun to do it for joy. I'm sad that I can't do it in an engine room right now but I can still screw around with cars. I did end up with an aircooled six and it's a gas to work on. |

Lying there on the floor, he couldn't reach the overhead cable. Sounds like the union people were too stupid to ask for the safety interlocks to work. Sounds like management was eager to be the first to test the equipment. Thank goodness a union worker didhn't have to be injured checking management's bad investment. |

The check sorters were more like 250 inches a second. The NCR check sorters were even faster. Everyone who worked on them wore clip on ties. The IBM sorters read the checks better, but the sorting was slower. At BofA San Francisco, they had maybe 9 IBM sorters to read into the computer and the sorts were all done off line on I think 5 sorters. Yes, those 3800 laser printers were inpressive. Worked on the channel interface for a Siemens ND2 laser printer. 30" a second printing. Brings back some good memories. |

Yeah. Since I put away the timing light and dwell meter I don't get my hands near a running engine. Checking trans fluid and sometimes touching around with a steth probe is about it. Even then I check my sleeves first. I haven't seen a sleeve do it, but I did see a rag get snatched out of a guys hand on a high speed lathe, come back around and debrided the back of his hand. The guys who worked on check sorters used to say "if you get your tie caught in there they will have a hard time getting your socks out" Even the laser printers that were slow by comparison still moved paper at 32 inches a second. The check sorters were more like 250 inches a second. At a bulk mail center in New Jersey, the managers decided a sorting machine was not running fast enough, so they removed some safety devices. A worker was drawn into the machine and crushed. At another bulk center, management was proudly demonstrating new safety devices on driverless robot carts. The carts had sensitive bumpers that would "stop the cart immediately" upon impact, and, if that failed, there was an overhead safety rope that if yanked, would stop the cart. Yup. The manager demonstrating the robocart to the media got in front of it and let it hit him. It did not stop. It knocked him to the concrete floor and then ran over him. Lying there on the floor, he couldn't reach the overhead cable. Don't you just love it when something like that happens to a kiss-ass mid-manager. Especially when the local TV stations are there to witness and videotape it and show it on the evening news. I don't know if postal management is as despotic these days as it used to be, but, literally, tens of thousands of grievances used to be filed each year against the mid and lower upper managers for contract violations, safety violations, and waqe-hour violations. More WAFA bull****. Is the the buttsniffer Dan? "the the"? Is this Dumb Don? Back to the old buttsniffing, eh Dildo Dan? Hard day at work hauling turds? Do you have a dumb teenager who wrote that for you? |
