A friend of mine loaned me an interesting document - the 1957 British Auto Parts catalog complete with all sorts of parts and accessories... and prices. Did you know that Lodge had a platinum tip sp

The Lodge plugs were rather interesting. You could disassemble them with a couple wrenches. Easy to clean. I used them for a while, then one night I opened the hood with engine running and it looked

Cost has to be considered against purchasing power. In 1957, the minimum wage was $1/hr. Accounting for inflation, one would have to make $6.80 to have equivalent buying power today. Since the minimu

Most of the older spark plus could be disassembled to clean. They all suffered from the same problem--they worked fine when spark coils put out about 10,000 volts, but when they started hitting 20K o

You really didnt have to go to all the work of looking up the numbers to point this out.... you could have just asked one of us who has worked for the same company for the last 16 or more years... bu

It's a strange world. As always, much more complex than the numbers suggest. The cultural difference between 1957 and now is astonishing. People expect to have so much, even when their ability to ear
