(-:              It isn't a Blue Flame 6cyl Chevy, it's a 94 MB with all kinds of covers       over everything. i.e. Corvettes have coil covers, but if you remove the       covers, the engine doesn't look any different than what is in a Z28. The       covers are there to 'beautify' the engine for the novice engine looker.               RW>>> While you're at it, you might want to get a black light and find        RW>>> your freon leak...               RN>> I don't believe there is one. The MB is the car we put the Red        RN>> Angel in. However, I'll check it to be sure.               RW>> So, you're just now getting around to re-charging the system, why?               RN> It hasn't been charged or checked since last April.              Does the AC work?               RW>> In today's cars, if there is no freon in the system, the compressor        RW>> is locked out ot the system by the CPU and won't engage the clutch        RW>> at all. This affects the cooling fans and when they come on, the        RW>> engine runs hotter and that also affects emissions...               RW>>> If I don't stay active on a daily basis, an old hip injury from        RW>>> karate' class when I was 35, gives me joint pain ... that got to be        RW>>> so bad that I couldn't get comfortable, no matter what I tried.        RW>>> Heat pads helped, but I couldn't get into a waterbed with that. I        RW>>> finally began taking about Glucosamine Chondroitin on a daily        RW>>> basis. Today I can finally get some sleep without the pain getting        RW>>> to me.               RN>> I never took any martial arts classes. I figured the training I had        RN>> in football would be enough, but as the body gets older, it more and        RN>> more refuses to do what the mind tells it to do. (-:               RW>> I never played on any high school or college football teams. Sand        RW>> lot, yeah, but didn't have time for a 'season' of football. Too        RW>> busy with cars and the girls. While everybody was at the game, I        RW>> was in the back seat of my 1940 Ford with Suzie Smith...               RN> I liked the front seat of my '57 Bel Air. Way more room.              I was a high school student in that year. Not having the income to buy a       new Chevy, I opted for a $50 V8 Ford. I suppose that had I followed my       father's advice, I would have bought a fat body (41-48) Chevy (big back       seats), but then, those weren't up to my expectations of a real car at       the time...                      R\%/itt                     --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012        * Origin: Texas Lone-Star - Texan, American, USAian (1:387/22)    |
