Re: [DML] Shade Tree Mechanic

["Robert Lingo" <rlingo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

He brought a tool by today that I can use one the radiator, but it's to long 
to fit in that tiny space provided by DMC for the oil drain plug.  I will 
pick up a small ratchet that I Will grind down to the proper dimensions to 
fit the oil plug.  He also gave me some kind of tool to check the fuel 
injectors spray without starting the engine.  I guess he will have to teach 
me how to use it. LOL.  I did get my car started today.  He was surprised 
that I got it working so fast, less than a week after it sat outside for 
over three years.  He offered me a job at his shop, lol..  Anyway,  I am 
extremely lucky to have him for a neighbor.

Thank you to all that have sent your help and advice..  I'm sure to have 
more questions comming soon,.
