Geez, for

I wonder how many guys still know how to static time points with the cellophane from a cigarette pack (or a cigarette paper), and gap them with a matchbook.

Doesn't surprise me that this garbage ships from my pathetic state. Crapifornia mentality.

This spark plug gap tool topic is so much more fun than the usual political sh!t.

Found a guy in Canada (some redneck in Alberta
) who's trying to flog a used gapper tool on eBay... for over $500... yes, in US funds!

No different than any other member here on PFF making ends meet. The gadget does look cool and is definitely possible to make at home on a Tormach. The anodizing can be done at home too.
I completely agree.
I actually
enjoy this kind of "free" thinking!
Might not be practical, but neither is my triple-chamber electo-fired ice-bong!!

Yep, PT Barnum is often credited with proclaiming "There's a sucker born every minute" but his estimate was laughably low..

Ok...I made this cartoon but I am not sure if it is too subtle- I know that only real mechanics will get it, but it might be just a little to subtle....The "punchline" is the old man's eyes...Let me know what you think (Be nice!!! (Please....)
