What is that?
.. Sure is shiny…
What ever it is, its new
.. Nah, I think it’s a rebuilt… something….
Wait a minute…. It’s a Carburetor!
.. What’s a carburetor?
Long ago, they were used to pour
gasoline down the intake so the engine would run
.. Was that before TV?
Hey, someone bolted some kind of
bottle to the side of the distributor!
.. That’s a vacuum reservoir stupid.
No , the vacuum reservoir is on the
fender over here.
.. Then what’s this thing on the distributor?
You’re the smart one, you tell me.
.. Lets look it up on the CD.
I really miss the 4 tracks…
.. That was 8 tracks
No, 4 track was big for….lets see…
2 months? I had all three 4 track tapes, great stuff.
Says here that it’s a vacuum advance mechanism. No points so it must be one of them
“lectronic” jobs.
.. What year is this S10?
1983 with 2.8 Liters
.. That’s a lot of coke.
We don’t do drugs on this program, K?
.. So it must also have the rotor
attached to a mechanical advance device
How crude, was that before radio?
.. Shut up and scope this thing while its still acting up.
What’s it doing?
.. It intermittently backfires and
misses on acceleration.
Pattern looks good.
.. Rev it up
Woah! What happened to the secondary pattern on the scope, it got weird for a second.
.. Did you record it?
Got it, what do you think?
.. I think you have a problem with
the scope leads
Nah… I checked that. You can even
feel the engine miss when it happens
.. Let me take a look at that….
.. When did Chevrolet put 5
cylinder engines in their trucks?
The other cylinder is there, this is just a frame from the intermittent burp.
.. I think we should start with
selling this guy a complete tune up; maybe even throw in an oil change for safe
measure.
Don’t be stupid, we are highly
trained Mekanics, we need to do some more testing
.. Where
do we look and what do we do next?
Didn’t this $30,000 scope come with instructions?
.. Just be glad we have a scope… the boss said he wasn’t spending a dime more; we have to learn to use it by ourselves
Come to think of it, your right. Lets just sell this guy a complete tune up and if it still doesn’t run right send it
somewhere else.
.. I’ll push the scope back into
the corner, who needs that high tek stuff anywhos
No leave it out, I wanna play
Solitare…
