Earl,
Did you ever notice that the majority of the vehicles with easily accessible distributors needed adjusting more often?
Our Buicks, (dist in the front) always needed adjusted. The Chevys, ( dist in the back) seemed to go till the points wore out before you had to replace them.

I remember, a long, long time ago, when prayer, and the Pledge were in schools. When profanity was only with "the guys" and not laced into every line of so-called music. I remember when there were good actors, and actresses that had talent, and didn't rely on special FX to carry the movie. I remember mail ordering guns, and there was just a fraction of the mayhem in the streets, like now with all the drugs, and thugs owning the cities. 8 dollar bricks of .22 8) Free coffee, or tea when you ordered a meal.
I actually remember Free Lunch at a bar in Coal Town Pa in 1971 when I was traveling with the Clyde Beatty/Cole Bros Circus Band. A table with a big roast beef, a ham, a turkey, bread, cheese, and 10 kinds of mustard. I think happy hour was 10 cent glasses of Bud.....Dang, I've got good memories. 8)

I have had several GM products with that distributor location. I used to gripe about it until One day I had it into a REAL shop for a tune up. A friends shop , and I watched him do it , he pulled the distributer out of the engine,installed the points and condencer on his distributor machine, set the dwell and had it back in the engine and timed in about ten minutes. That would have taken me at least an hour. After that, I never messed with it again.
Now the new engines don't even have a distributor.
When I hear someone say they don't "makem like they used to" I remind them that the Ford Mod. T

In the small Iowa town ,where I lived as a kid, one of the local cops would set up a bullet trap in his driveway and shoot his .38 revolver. I watched him split a bullet on an axe blade and pop two baloons. He was a cool guy !!!

The local hardware store would brake up a box of .22 shorts and sell me a dimes worth. :D

Yes.

I remember when the HS JROTC kept the HS RIFLE TEAM RIFLES in a vault by the gym (along with a whole lot of other military cool stuff) and that we would, on occasion SHOOT those rifles (.22 Targetmasters) IN the gym.

Occasionally we would go to the Armory and shoot in their range, and shoot M16s with the .22 kits.

And I got my first HS Letter, and Letterman's Jacket for shooting. Not sportsball, Shooting.

In the vein of autos.

I remember when you used to adjust timing, lifters, carbs, brakes and actually fix things instead of just changing parts.

I remember when I could ride my bike with a .22 rifle across the handle bars and no one looked askance.

I remember when mom or dad would send you to the store, we walked barefoot in the summer and climbed redwood fences on the way, with a note for cigarettes, beer or hard liquor. And when you got there the counter guy, that you had known all your life, would say smoking would stunt your growth, and you both laughed.

as i watched a young girl sing that song while on 1 knee made me so sick that i wanted to punch my tv.Her biggest sacrifice she ever made was giving up her lip gloss for lipstick.and has no idea what went on to give her the freedoms she takes for granted when she wakes every morning to a free world of free people built on the blood of others that gave it all in the name or freedom we takes for granted every day. school kids that never gave anything but a hard time to people they should be respecting.

I sat in church (with my feet not touching the floor) and watched our pastor call everyone with a tatoo to the front - while he forgave them for violating God's will and repeating vows to not place ink upon their skin ever again.
- Back then I guess it was only servicemen (and merchant marines?) who had tatoos anyway.

I remember when me and my cousins would ride the John Deer the 8 miles to town to get us an ICE COLD Mountain Dew out of those old style drink machines. We would sit there on the porch of that old store talking with the store clerk about this and that enjoying the Mt. Dew. One of my most fondest memories. Cutting hay was hot and the tractor was all we had to take to town at that time.

I remember when I could start for the Jiffy Store on my bike and pick up enough Soda bottles on the side of the road that I could buy all the Candy (junk food) I wanted and leave with money in my pocket.

I remember as a kid thinking it was a piece of cake to be a good Christian.
Boy was I ever wrong.
