Dizzy-stritbooter............

Thats the thing that had 1 wire in, 4,6,or 8 out, and would direct fire to the (hopefully) correct spark plug in turn........

It was kinda the old ECU in days before coil over plugs....................

Ron,

Whatever you said, I believe it! (But I still haven't got a clue!)

You mean "in the shop" doesn't count? Funny thing is I do have a sorta system. I have a work bench with a bunch of drawers and I put 'like' stuff together and the impact drivers normally are right below the drill bill and related stuff drawer but I think the "shop weasels" moved em on me.

Tom,

"Shop weasels" are a bitch... Hard to keep ahead of 'em.. They will swap stuff on ya, from drawer "A" to drawer "B" and worse! I've heard them called a lot of things before, but never "weasels".. I learn something every day!

Where is Doc?

Hey Boo, what happened to Doc? I miss him, he had some great tractors and LOTS of projects. I think of him every time I cruise through the Delaware Water Gap..

Doc, if you ever drop by and read this crap, know that you are missed!

Yep, the newer S10 versus the older ones with the slightly bigger hub center. Ran into that with a set of ZQ8 wheels I put on my old 91. Couple minutes with the die grinder and they look real good.

The reall piss-off is that EVERY book N chart I checked shows them ALL, ... to be the same center bore 70.3 mm. I know the wheels were released in 98 but they are all saying 70.3 mm. from 82 up,... 4 the S10 ..????

Then people weren't buyin' nor sellin' wheels, they were sellin'...........BOOKS & CHARTS !
