True, but it lets me have minimal wiring exposed to heat. And yes that's the type of solenoid I'm using. 6 years no problems with that system yet . XXXfingers

Good answer,,,,,,,,the best thing we can do here is to provide everyone with choices and they can choose whats best for them,,,,,,,,

Me and my buddy at my shop

I guess he wasn't worried about those California ground shakes with those 2X4's!!!

I was just talking to my buddy Mark,,,,,,Back in the days of West Coast Vans, he had the Polar Bear van,,,,,,and due to unfortunate circumstances, he rolled it in 1980,,,,,and he is SLOWLY working on Polar Bear 2 right now,,,,,

That's for sure, Don! I was the benificiary of at least one of those two jobs.

Word to the wise regarding those last two photos: Never tow a van named Crashvan!

well that's only cause the owner is the best mechanic on the planet.....

Well,,,that van was named SandVan,,,,,,because it was stuck out in the Desert for 20 years,,,,,,but,,,,,,when I towed it through the sand hills and had to keep driving faster to keep from getting stuck going up the hills its name changed after it tried to pass me going down a hill and I was looking out my side window going down the road sideways with my right side tires off the ground,,,but its named changed again the next day,,,,,,,

Hey,,,,,,dont tell me its time for the 2017 cruise  and car show season to begin,,,,,
