disturbed distributor

The Samba.com forum post




I recently had a problem with my veedubb quitting out on me on the freeway, I changed all the fuel filters, replaced the fuel pump, flushed out the lines and tank and boiled out my carb.

The very next day the veedubb did the same number at almost the same place on the freeway and this time I removed and replaced my distributor, this is the old one and I noticed that it looks like I might have a missing spring on the number 2 peg, am I accurate in my assessment.

I am hearing that the 009 has only 1 spring, so my problem might be the Compufire DisX ignition system...

Woke up with a chill from a restless night sleep.

Thankfully it was just a dream….

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

New Rules

1.New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for
Classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25
years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already
know what the captain of the football team is doing these days:
mowing my lawn.

2.New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window
unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human
finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a
dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout?
Luckily, it was only a finger!

3.New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water.
There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but
without that watery taste.
Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink.
You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt.
That's your flavored water.

4.New Rule: Stop f***ing with old people. Target is introducing a
redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the
top is now the bottom.
And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be
in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social
Security crisis.

5. New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven
deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive
Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just
too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting?
Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern
Show."

6. New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their
hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better
description for these kids:
lucky bastards.

Veterans day weekend

Veterans day weekend and I have broken a long tradition I have held for the last 8 years, going on a date. Oh, well there is always next year, had a lot on my mind any way.

Getting ready for what sure looks to be a challenging job with some rather interesting difficulties.

The little old VeeDubb still running, not too sure if my recent problems were a fuel issue or a timing issue, regardless, I don’t care. It runs.

My first day with my new company and all ready I can see that this is going to be a challenge. I do so look forward to this one, should be good. Interesting being on the same site as my old company and still having lunch with my old boss…. We are a tight community and the field must look after the field or no one else will.

Bring on the noise !

Well after much stink with the company about the wrongful demotion and pay cut which is in violation of the California Labor Code, fighting for moneys still owed to me for my trip to Delaware fro the company and the fact that the company has never payed prevailing wage to any of the technicians is going to come to a head tomorrow at a meeting at 14:00 at the Smith-Emery home office at 781 East Washington Blvd where they will explain how they in fact are not in violation of the labor laws and I am smoking drugs.

I will just have to inform them that I have talked with major officers of the Ironworkers Local 433 and that they are informing me that the company (Smith-Emery) is in blatant violation of the law and I need to prosecute and file formal complaints with the appropriate government agencies.

On a happier note, I am feeling very good about my studies and should be certified soon and with a little bit of luck be a deputy of the city of Los Angeles and may be even the County Of Los Angeles.
