Your right,........you can't be too careful. Particularly when it comes to safely maintaining muffler bearings.
I recently found a new synthetic exhaust grease called Blue Resonance Lube. It ain't cheap at $99.00 a tub, but they claim it extends life to all tubular type exhaust systems and provides protection to all muffler bearings, including plutonium and HF53 bearing races.
One tub will service three cars, or one car if you drive three times as much.
It now looks like we can finally put an end to or at least decrease the need for MB replacement as often.

I always heard if your exhaust johnson rod is not adjusted correctly the framastan will burn out much faster. Or you use cast iron and forget about it.

Since we're on the subject,
Can one of you guys give me a wiring diagram for my mechanical cataphramic reostat? I took me a while to figure out the directions to get it mounted on the driveshaft properly, but I can't figure out the wiring. Should I run a ground to the engine or the frame. Should I run a hot wire from the black pipe to the fuse block, or directly to the negative side of the HEI distributor? I hate dealing with foriegn parts, half the directions are in a foriegn language. I'll never buy from London Royce again.

Well let me set ya straight! You need to be using an automatic cataphramic reostat. It is a ONE WIRE HOOKUP. DARN THING LOOKS LIKE A PACEMAKER, I have one on order, but won't be needing it for a few years I HOPE
Now I understand why we are the skilled help

Lakota,................
It's the unit you got.
Don't be fooled by the "English" on that London Royce box. Foriegn is still foriegn.
Make sure your runnin metric voltage and carefully inspect your unit every day.

Listen up guys, even if you use the single wire system (or the multi wire system) be very carfull if you take it apart. I was told by a person in the know, if you touch the wrong wire with the screw driver you will let the smoke out. Once that happens the system will not fuction. Be carefull and don't let the smoke out.......

You are so correct, Rich.
Even though the complex multi-wire units are no longer in production, caution must be used on both multi and single wire models.
My company now offers the new SR-66 plastic screwdriver that is safe for ALL metric voltage applications.
Accidental smoke evacuation has become a good news/bad news scenerio.
The good news is that a factory replacement smoke is now available, but you must send the entire unit to the factory.
The bad news is that the factory is London Royce.

Tip Of The Day...watch for strange behaviour, discoloration, or the total lack of movement of house pets as an early sign of a smoke leak.

My company just hired Him, Rick.

He's the poster boy for our new saftey equipment ad campaign. The before and after pix are,...well,...SHOCKING.

He's pretty quiet, smiles a lot, is real funny to watch and the pampers don't really cost us that much.

Isn't science truly a remarkable wonder. Who would have thought that crossing your wires just once, could have a life long effect on one's pucker factor???

Watch out for those Pampers, they got me in big trouble. My daughter handed me my grand daughter and said "Change her Pampers". I held her for a minute and handed her back, "She don't need changing yet". My daughter yelled at me, "She stinks, what makes you think she don't need changing yet". "She can get a few more loads in there". I pointed to the Pampers package where it says, UP TO 30 POUNDS. "She ain't even close!!!

I called London Royce this morning, Damn!, them guys all talk funny. They told me that I should have bought the Static Dynoculator instead, that it was a direct replacement on the Corvair driveshaft. I think the guy I was talking too wasn't too bright, everytime I asked how much it cost, he kept telling me how much it weighed. There must be a lot of gay people there cause everytime I asked to speak to someone else, he would tell me that they just stepped out for a ***. I'm sending him a blank check hoping we can straighten this mess out.

[Onequick26]

LOl.
Ya know what's a lot of fun,Call your local parts store and ask for a lower radiator hose for a corvair. Or a set of spark plugs for a 6.2 chevy diesel.

Me and some friends got board one afternoon and did the corvair,I was on hold for about 10min.

 

[Lakota]

Years ago "BC" (Before Computers), The guys behind the parts counter would write the order on a slip of paper so as not to confuse the numbers. I'd order a gallon of "One D Ten T". He'd write it down and off he'd go. A half hour later he had three guys looking down the isles and in catalogs. Finally they would look at his slip of paper to see the numbers, and what they would see was "IDIOT"...I've been thrown out of some of the best parts stores.

One day I'll tell you the story of why I'm banned from Wal-Mart.

 

[reddogg]

I went to the new local Advance store in town and asked for a muffler bearing for a 1938 Henway, the guy at the counter naturally started punching in stuff on his puter, couldnt kind what I was asking for, then finally said WHATS A HENWAY, then I said about 2 pounds. He did get a laugh out of it.

 

[Onequick26]

Oh you have too tell us why your banned from wally world.

Subject: How to get banned from Walmart

Mr. and Mrs. Lakota are retired, and Mrs. Lakota insists her husband go
with
her to Wal-Mart. He gets so bored with all the shopping trips. He
prefers to
get in & get out, but Mrs. Lakota loves to browse. One day Mrs.
Lakota
gets this letter from Wal-Mart:


Dear Mrs. Lakota,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior & may ban
both of
you from our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video
surveillance equipment. The complaints against Mr. Lakota are listed
below.

Things Mr. Lakota has done while his spouse was shopping in
Wal-Mart:
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in
people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to
the ladies rest rooms.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official
tone, 'Code 3' in Housewares... and watched what happened.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of
M&M's on layaway.
6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted
area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told
other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from
the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they can help him, he began
to cry and asked, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a
mirror, and picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department,
asked the clerk if he knew where the antidepressants were.
11. December 3: Darted around the store, suspiciously and loudly
humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. December 6: Went into the Auto Department, and practiced his
"Madonna look" using different size funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loudspeaker,
he assumed the fetal position and screamed "NO! NO! It's
those voices again!!!!"

And last, but not least .
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, "There is no toilet paper
in here!"

 

[Onequick26]

Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gastrick]

I think Lakota has been taking comedy lessons in his spare time

 

[Lakota]

You left one out,

16. December 24, Christmas Eve: Went to a closed cashier station, turned on the intercom system and proceeded to pass gas to the tune of Silent Night.

And no, I'm not taking comedy lessons...This is my normal behavior.

I'm gonna have to get back at her for posting that letter.

She's probably mad at me for the new Indian name I gave her.
Three Horses....nag, nag, nag.
