Topic: How Cold Does Fridge Get? Posted: 09 Apr 2019 at 5:24pm |
Standard electrical engineering test procedure:
Finding out where they keep the smoke.
Been that way as long as I can remember, and that’s a pretty long time. 😜

It's also been noted that British cars (with " Lucas Flash and Flicker") use more smoke than other cars.

Lucas electrics-reminds me of the '56 MGA that we restored. the fuel pump was electric-it ticked when sitting still. I had parked it on a city street and a lady called the cops thinking I had a bomb in my car.
Lucas electrics-also in my old BSA motorcylces and Truimphs. Vann

I had the distributor on my bugeye sprite fall apart in my hands, just turned into a little pile of parts. I just say there staring at it. Lucas made hydraulics too, lost a brand new pair of shoes to a Lucas clutch master cylinder one day. Ahh, when Mazda came out with the Miata a new day dawned. All the fun and it was reliable too.

Ah Yes Lucas electrical systems, oh the joy, NOT! Mine was with a MG Midget that no matter what refused to start in the morning anytime it rained over night. The next best was Bosh in my VW Van, which isn't saying much, but it sure was better then Lucas. Of course sometimes I wonder if AC Delco wasn't trying to catch up since then and now they still haven't figured out the concept grounds IMHO.
