[Spridgets] Jack stands.. (was- fuel line mystery)

[Bud Osbourne]

Good way of doing it, Herb, particularly if you have an uneven floor or 
unequal height jack stands.
Actually, I always use a small, hardwood block between the car and the jack 
stand.  It makes slippage of the car off the jack stands much less likely. 
That QSW that I mentioned in a previous post as having fallen off the 
stands, as I was jacking one side, would not have been able to slip off if 
I'd had the hardwood blocks in place.
