F.Y.I.

Electronic Ignition System for 6 Volt Positive Ground Vehicles:  Consists of pickup module, magnet sleeve and high performance coil.  This does away with ignition points and condensor.  As a result, this improves starting performane and throttle response, decreases fuel consumption, reduces emissions and eliminates periodic replacement and adjustment.  it is an easy installation.  All components fit under the distributor cap so it keeps everything authentic looking (a perfect upgrade that won't affect a car when its being judged.)  A friend has one on his 1952 Kaiser Manhattan and loves the differences it has made.  

Get that last drop of motor oil out of the bottle:  When you change oil, most people never get the last drops out of the plastic bottle.  In a year's time more than 3.43 billion quart motor oil bottles are discarded.  The vast majority contain some unused motor oil.  Now there's a system to hold 5 empty quart containers that drain into 1 quart container, collecting the oil that can be reused.

Match up mower wheels:  If you need new tires for the mowers in your collection, here's an easy way to remove the tire.  Place the wheel and tire in boiling water.  It will become flexible and can be removed so you can put on another tire. (Use precautions when working with the boiling water.) You should be able to match up your tire through a distributor.
