Muscle Car Restoration

[Solo MAN’S WisdomParticipant]

I’m helping a buddy restore a 1969 440 / 6-Pack SuperBee. The whole process is fascinating, and I was struck with the intricacy of just the carburetor engineering. There’s no way a woman would have come up with any of the design of an internal combustion engine. No. F~~~ing. Way.

When women lead, destruction is the destination. -- Me.

When a car runs out of oil (female trait), women ignore all the warning lights, ignore all the noise, and just press the gas pedal harder until it doesn’t work anymore.

Alright! I saw this and thought, I hope its Mopar!
The 6pack
Three 2 barrel carbs.

Serious s~~~. Mopar didnt fool around.

My Brothers( the mechanic) wife toasted an engine with the oil light on. She said she was waiting for a voice to come on, to tell her what to do….

Women would be sitting in the cold and dark with no fire to keep them warm.
Let alone the wheel.

They’re all waiting for that voice to come on and tell them what to do!

We’re that voice of reason and logic but they apparently can’t hear us as they keep doing the stupid things they do over and over and over again, they never learn.

My car doesn’t have any warning lights. It has what they call a “Heads-Up Display”. When there’s engine oil spewing all over the windshield, that’s how I know when to shut it down…

When I hear numbers 442, 454 and 440 .. still get chills of excitement in my spine. I remember seeing my first 442 .. it was dk blue w white trim & Cragar wheels. I remember seeing my first chevy 454, dk green metallic with grey mag wheels. Both were parked in front of a gas station years ago where guys used to hang out .. I was young delivering my newspapers and I’d ride by slowly on my bike and look at those new cars. Then one day there was another car there, it was reddish orange with a big fin on the back and it had the neatest colored curved double striping I’ve ever seen over each of the wheel wells. It had mag wheels but they were sharp and silver-chrome. The smooth curved lines of that car caught my eye. I saw a name on the side that just said .. The Judge.

It was a female engineer who came up with the carburettor modification that prevented aircraft engines from cutting-out in high negative-G manoeuvres. It was called “Miss Shilling’s orifice”.

Maybe she was transgender…

A couple years ago, I got a call from my lil cupcake that the car was broken down at one of the kids school, and there was a pile of oil under the car.

It ended up being a hose clamp that came loose/broke on a transmission coolant line, and let all the transmission fluid run out of the tranny. I asked her if she noticed the car running poorly. She said that she just stepped harder on the gas pedal and drove it til it wouldn’t drive anymore. Granted, that it probably happened “relatively quickly”, but her only thought was to “Just drive it !”

She keeps gas in it, and that’s IT !!

Hell, she WON”T even shake out the floor mats once in a while !!

Funny thing is when she was single, she kept her car clean, but after marriage ALL THAT plus pretty much EVERYTHING else, went AWAY, FAR FAR AWAY !!

I allways tell women, running a car with no oil, is like haveing sex with no lube..
They get all mad at me. Their idiots.
Exept the few that do invent things.

When my old Bonny doesnt leave an oil puddle, I know Im out of oil.

What really sucks is when the hole you punch through the block is directly behind the glowing cherry hot exhaust manifold. The oil never reaches the windshield, but the fire does!

Bonny, meet Davidson. AMF Harley Davidson oil seals only work after the oil is gone…

She invented a way of plugging up an orifice while the plane was on its back. Sounds about right! Haha

Yeah, you get to learn how to read the warning signs. When there are sparks and fumes exiting from under the hood that’s generally okay.

Flames and heavy smoke is when you know that it’s bad…
