It's the carburetor - it's always the carburetor.

But sometimes it's that headlight dimmer switch button on the floorboards...to the upper left. That will put a question mark above a millennial's head.

Now, there's something I haven't thought about since owning a '64.5 Mustang.

Thanks for the memories! Those did go out on occasion. I replaced just one when I was a teen. How 'bout them generator brushes? Toilet paper oil filter?

My 64.5 Mustang was pretty "concourse" when I bought it.  it still had the old-style generator in it.  Well, I wanted to add an aftermarket A/C system (looked vintage), so I had to convert the Mustang to a high-output alternator.  There was way more to this than I thought - had a mechanic do it, because it was above my paygrade, but we went over it before he attempted this.  Once he was done, almost everything worked correctly, and I was able to install the aftermarket A/C.

One thing did not work, however, and I could never get it to work.  This was the tach that was on an original Rally Pack - somehow the alternating current made the needle just go back and forth.  Below are some pictures of what I am talking about.

Vintage looking aftermarket A/C

I sold her.  And, I miss her.....sometimes.  I didn't pay too much for her and I tried to make it a daily driver.  Some things just weren't made as good as what they make today, cars being one of them.

The '67 Chevelle was an icon.  We buy these old cars because we love them.  But, they don't seem to love us back.

Series parallel specificity of linear events working spontaneously present as simultaneously happening. Why flow chart intellect never keeps pace with evolving in plain sight.

5 generation gaps life populating space with 16 great great grandparents and siblings not great great grandparents the originals of those left alive now.
2nd generation forward is 8 great grandparents and siblings that hadn't become great grandparents.
3rd generation gap is 4 grandparents and siblings never became parents
4th generation gap is 2 parenting the arrival of last great great grandchildren goprn one at a time.
5th generation arriving one at a time that could become 1 of 2 parents tomorrow.
6 degrees of separation on 7 axioms of reasonable doubt to 8 corner triangulating people to ignore how evolving happens forward here now.
7. axioms of reasonable doubt academia, arts, economics, religion/morality, politics/legality, social consensus/ethics, ancestral behavior/societal evolution.

How and why what, where, when, which, who, became whom misled everyone else into believing now isn't eternity in history recorded so far.

Everyone is forced to comply with how it is done as ancestrally working forward now.

Call it fate, butterfly effect, destiny, Mother Nature, God, Satan, extraterrestrial implantation. It was all done within this species itself. Mind over matter, context defining content, symbolism over substance, free will, will of the people denying why they arrive one at a time.

It does, I thought the same thing!  I am grateful for the spread I've got, but can sure admire that one.

True, they don't love us back, but they don't bore us to death like a new Subaru Forester does.     But the new Mazda MX5 kinda has my attention. The old Miata was a slug.

For $39,000 you can buy a Corvette C7 with a few miles on it.

If I get a vette (would be my first), it will be a '96 ZR1 with the Lotus/Mercury Marine engine.

While not my favorite Vette body style, this is one sexy looking engine!!!
