Sweet Vintage Snap-On Analog Dwell / Tachometer and Matching Awesome Plymouth Fender Cover Actually Used to Tune Up Car

Near Ardrossan, Ab: The President's car was tuned this week for the first time since the Reagan administration. As the President is only interested in what cars look like, CWMC is critically under-equipped to deal with things like making cars run properly by installing electronic ignition.

Agent 1080, proprietor of Fury Dave's All Fury Service and Fury Parts Inc, was rumored to be in possesion of an elusive point-gapping device, as well as vacuum guages, timing light, a flat screwdriver, and other bits of equipment of virtually no interest to the President, who sulked over a G&T and concentrated on putting some fresh roach burns in 1080's new Cummins for the duration of the project.

After a couple of false starts, including hooking the meter up backwards and not hooking up the meter at all, a suitable reading was eventually obtained on each device, and indeed the poly-head 318 was running substantially less poorly than it had in many years. New plug wires were installed until the President saw they were blue, so a second set is being sourced. Nevertheless, operation "Get This Goddamn Dodge to Run" is being treated as a success.
