[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4266282, member: 15054"] Goodness. I feel your pain. I try and teach and hands on show guys how to check and set the timing in their car and how to remove and install a distributor back in the right spot. Not rocket science. But the same people call me over and over to go fix their timing. These fools build cars all the time but darn near 90% of everything on the car is a cobbled up mess but people buy these messes from them for big money. 100% not reliable. Age of these people are 18-75 so I do not think it is an age thing I think it is a thing with I did not charge them enough money. So instead of them learning and paying attention to what I just did right in front of their noses they call me back and make me fix their f up. I never could understand people not paying attention. I think from this day forward I will charge these fools the rate a speed shop pays me to work on old cars with carburetors. $80 an hour. [/QUOTE]
