JKLOUS: Hay, be sure to retard the spark!!!

My dad and I had just finished bolting the engine in to my 1929Model A, in 1956. We had just overhauled it. Dark outside, Dad said in the morning we will get it started. Me, no lets do it now. So, he hooked a chain up and pulled me... engine would not start... turned over OK... perhaps a mile later of choking and playing with the ears.. i looked down and the key was not on. OH OK, when I turned it on the exhaust system was filled with explosive mix... the car lifted the neighborhood lit up... the wooden floor boards lifted and when the pyrotechnics was over... the engine was quietly turning over like a purring cat. My ears were ringing.

That Muffler was 2' long and thankfully the seam pointed down otherwise I would have been surly hurt. The muffler was split open fully. Live and Learn or die trying.

Really doesn't change my opinion of feinstein or her husband! You seem like a reasonably smart guy, so I probably don't need to explain.

As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic M0RON."
