Telmas were popular on packers (garbage trucks) too. Some Macks made to be packers had no provisions for an engine brake. Telmas would have been quiet in residential areas as well. Brakesaver ? Whole different animal from back when Cats had overhead cams and an injection pump. Closest fluid type retarder would have been in an Allison automatic back then. Brakesaver was heavy, high maintenance and overall costly. Some 3406s still had them, but they were pretty much out of the picture by the mid to later '80s

There's this stuff called 303 Graphine. Comes in a small bottle more like something you'd find mustard in (black). I think it works great for bringing back plastics that are discolored.

For what it's worth ? I keep a pack of birthday cake candles in the tray on the torch cart. I use them instead of WD40 or something when heating something like that stubborn stud.

Nice 30 by 50 Morton would cure the problem.

I don't know if it's true , but I hear the view has a forum with high intellect.

This was some school in Pennsylvania with a 13 second B Model 1/4 miler

Did you see the B Model in the post where the guy was searching for someone to do some injection work ?

Nice. You gotta be feeling good that you know it's just getting in the truck now.

IDK Jojo. I've seen other pictures he's posted and thought grey tits.

Sounds a little like that story about Goldilocks.

I think people in general had more common sense back then. Wasn't so much of the extremism which causes so much of the nonsense.

😇 No more fu shaming from this cat

Yeah, I have parking here for ya and I'm sure I could set ya up with a place to live for a while.

Best of luck. You've certainly been a big help sharing useful info. Glad you're not leaving all together.

I restrained myself. 😇
