    this is a Mack truck site. for questions about that car, you would be better off asking in a European car forum, as they are sold over there not here in the United States.

    20 in my mind, 70 on the calendar. but there are times my body reminds me it is closer to 170.

    yes, you CAN kill them. you just have to know how to properly dispose of a body where you will not get caught, and it can never be found.

    Ford was in 64 with the introduction of the "green dot" C-4 trans. GM was around the same time.

    i was talking to a younger "mechanic" a few years ago about tow/push starting cars with auto trans. he said no way, cant be done!!! he just so happened to have a 59 Pontiac Catalina as a daily driver. so i challenged him. "take the battery out, and have your wrecker driver push us up to 35 MPH." they both accepted the challenge. at 35, i told him to turn the key to run, and drop the trans from neutral to drive. he was amazed when the engine started. back then, the auto trans had a live pump connected to the output shaft of the trans unlike cars today with the pump connected to the input shaft of the trans.

    i would not be surprised one bit if the mounting hardware manufacture was outsourced to a grade school in china. they have no concerns about child labor laws or quality control.

    i have been driving trucks for 57 years now. a=but i think i have only "worked" less than 20 days. i dont go to work. i go for a ride in the country, burn expensive fuel, put miles on new trucks, and piss off people behind me by driving 5-10 MPH under the posted speed limit in the right lane.

    back in 81-82 i was helping a friend who owned a landscape supply company. his u model tractor had an air start(the truck i was driving when i broke my neck). i got to a nursery to pick up a load of trees just as lunch started. 1/2 hour later the owner came out and told me t fire the truck up, as the guys were 35 minutes into their 30 minute lunch break. i have never seen a bunch of sleeping Mexicans jump so high when i hit the starter! the owner laughed.

    Working in a dry dock facility today. Sitting on the frontage road next to a massive ocean going tug and they fired it up. Was very supprised to hear it has air starters!

    Not a fun thing to run, especially with a 12V71 green leaker sitting rite next to you. And with a 175 gallon hydraulic tank behind and under the pilot seat. Get in the seat wearing a sub arctic suit because it is 5 degrees out. 25 minutes later you are in t shirt and shorts soaking wet from sweat with windows and door open.
