I remember having one of these in the glove box, to set the gap on those in a pinch (.016")



I had a 73 datsun pickem-up a long time ago, IIRC it had dual points. Crappy solution to vacuum or centrifugal advance.

I still have my dwell meter for setting the points. It is just a wall hangar next to my timing light, and oil can oil spout.

Only we used the cover flap..not the matches. Thanks for the memory...

Yup, the cardboard was just about the right thickness to get ya home. The matches were just along fer the ride.

The Michelin Man, the brand icon of Michelin Tires, was once an overweight, cigar-smoking beer drinker.

The 115-year-old character is one of the world’s oldest trademarks, and also one of its most loved. But early photographs of Bibendum, as the Michelin Man is also called, are nothing short of terrifying.

Edouard noticed a stack of tires at an auto industry show in Lyon, France in 1894 and remarked to André that it looked like a man without arms and legs, according to the corporate history.
