You should have asked them to post there age after they vote...

Unless Horseapples sees this poll, we've probably got all the "both 1 & 2" votes you'll see...

C'mon. There's got to be more than that. I just used a timing light the other week to adjust my buddy's 70 Chevelle SS! Heck, I even invested in the digital read-out last year because I knew I would use it often...lol It's great. So much easier.
I have a Montgomery Wards points adjuster on the shelf of the garage. I think it's a Wards?, maybe it's a Sears? Certainly not a Craftsman! Ohh, I'm not as old as you prob. think either!...hehehehe

I was gonna blow your cover, but you only put month/day for your birthday in your profile.

Somebody started a "How old are you" thread in OFF TOPIC not long after I joined here. I had just turned 40 not long before. About 150 people ended up responding and I think 2 were older than me...

I'm actually shocked at the results so far...
