An Old Guy, A Comb, and "A" Comment

It is not for checking for spark, it is for seeing if that cylinder is contributing.

Ah so, thanks.

As an card carrying "Old Guy", I don't no longer need no stinking comb. A once a month single sweep with a brush does just fine.

Or you could comp your hair with a wash rag...

Maybe you can test the spark by grabbing your bare *** with one hand, touching the spark plug lead with the other hand and running a ground wire from your big toe to the chassis! Perhaps we can get some dummy on weed in Colorado to try this.

I met an old timer at a flea market in Rhinebeck that would run the dip stick across his tongue to taste the oil. The taste was his way telling if the oil was any good. Yook!

Bob , your description of "How to retest your spark plugs gave me a good chuckle!

When I was young a friend of my Dad's came out of the pool hall. He was asked if he could still do it. I didn't know what that meant. My Dad started the Model A, retarded the spark and the fellow reached in from the passengers side of the engine, grabbed all four spark plugs and killed the engine dead. No thanks
