A silly diversion from today's valve cover gasket repair job. 100 sockets for $3.09 :)

    Just a quick way to verify all 8 pins had continuity though all those sockets: power, programming and driving 2 outputs. Not real scientific. :)

    That's a nice Tower of Babel! :)

    Still nursing that cold? Get Better.

    99 sockets to test 'til I'm done,

    Check pins all around,
    98 sockets to test 'til I'm done.....

    ...ohhhhhhhhh - I didn't see the chip in the top socket.

    Gotcha, understood.

    Jim might be the only person (car guy) to appreciate the other thing I got excited about today replacing that valve cover gasket:

    I found out that my PT Snoozer has roller rockers. Between that, 4 valves per cylinder and dual overhead cams, it IS a hot rod!

    PS: Erco's "Leaning Tower of Sockets" has a nice ring to it, right?

    Great song Rick, I'll be singing that all day.

    That ain't hot...

    My cast-aluminium engine with a 10:1 compression... using 95 Octane... That's hot.
    (Well, not any more, after I fixed the cooling... )

    Valve cover gasket on horizontal opposed engines are even cooler when you have to lay on your back to change them. :)

    I wanted to put a roller crank in my 1850cc VW bug but, a 19 year old could not afford a $500 crank. I know you said rockers, but the crank would have been the cats meow back then.

    Roller crank on a V-Dub? Awesome sauce.

    Alas, my roller rockers do not a hot rod make, but they sure are tiny and cute. I like my motor better now. Feels good to get my hands dirty again. Maybe I need a bigger car project soon... (?)
