The Good Dad

  1. Gosh it's dusty in here. Instant time machine. Me and dad, working on the Apache. Canister oil filter, oil bath air filter. Orange regular gas and a wore out cup towel to clean them both. "Okay, hit it! Good, just bump it, son." spinning the points around to be gapped. I can smell it...... My son and I working on the Suburban... That Saturday we swapped out the rear end.... Time flies by so fast....

    I was born in 55 and my dad had chevy trucks all his life so yeah, that could be me.

  3. Ah, I remember leaning over to look, after Dad took the carburetor off, and knocking the wing nut from the air filter down into the engine block. I was about 9. I almost didn’t make it to 10.
