  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Since it was a hi-po shop, you probably never got asked about a Cadillactic converter, but I do all the time.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Been there as well. In the late 70's, early 80s. How about, "I need a wench for my truck". I'd tell them, "You Mean a winch for the front of your truck. A wench would sit in the cab with ya. Or a 3/4 cam. We had a cam on the wall that we sawed four lobes off from. Then we dowel pinned it back together. We could pull it apart and put the remainder on the counter.

    My wife asked what a Cadillac converter was. I said it was the button with the triangles. If you press it the car would change into a Cadillac....

    I once had a customer who’s car failed emissions so he was at our warehouse to buy a ‘catalina convertible’. Occasionally someone would a ‘rackypinny’. We often got requests for PVC valves, heater coils, and copperators.

    Ya know, the only thing missing to complete the ad is pre-required THUMB obscuring the license plate so no one steals it. I guess the "Lillies of the valley" vine and the sale ad from Sundays' paper qualify instead? Security is PARAMOUNT on a vehicle of this caliber... ws
