Hey, Bud, I qualify in all four categories! However, I have found that
the same exasperation with Joe Lucas' wizardry is felt around the world
by folks far more expert, qualified, industrious, and smarter than
myself! In fact, virtually all of the philosophical expressions I
posted came from the Petersen Automotive Museum, a place hardly known as
either idiotic or lazy!

Which is exactly the reason I dropped mine off with Burlen Fuel Systems,
the manfacturer of SU Carburetors, to be rebuilt after 45 years of
service, wear and tear. They arrived yesterday, and they are
beautiful. They didn't look that good when the car was new!
