Maybe not from the government…

Well, yeah, but at the time there was no mandate to control those emissions.

It didn’t reduce my own emission of heated oratory. Not at the time.

[...] Dustbury talks about the disappearance of basic mechanical competence in America. I’m not sure that’s entirely true, I think a lot of it is just going in different directions [...]

A Z-series engine. Supposedly, this helped in reducing emissions.

Besides, they’re $12 apiece, and as is typical with a sideways V-6, the back three are damned near impossible to get to

My mother once had a 4-cyl. Nissan pickup on which I tried once to perform a basic tune-up.

I tried.

Once.

Apparently the damn thing had only four cylinders but eight spark plugs — and half of those were inaccessible to the shadetree wannabe.

These days one can get a reputation as “handy” for being able to plug a video card into your computer’s motherboard.

My wife has even accused me (though not in recent years — hmmm) of being “mechanically inclined,” an epithet I have earnestly disavowed. I insist, in fact, on the only slightly less undeserved “handy” to keep from disillusioning her altogether.
