I still do also . . . dwell meter , timing ligth , old type combination in line Volt/Ampmeter ,and all kind of specialized tools not used anymore since decades . I still use them . . . to collect dust ;-)

Born on a diversified production Farm in Aprill 1955 , last one of a Family of 13 with 7 older Brothers ( some of them where performance car owners ) , was introduced to mecanic by them and by my Father also , starting at the age of 7 . Here are a list of my own first toy I had to take care . . . motorcycle in 1971 ( always had one since and still do ) , ski-doo in 1972 ( 1972 to 1975 ) , car since Aprill 1973 .Even before I went to car mecanic school for adult in 1976,I was working in a car repair shop .Was doing tune up on car for myself and others and all sort of mecanic .I came out of car mecanic school second of my class in 1977 and worked in this field ranging to small engine to car ,truck,bulldozer and farm machinery . . . until April 1984 when I went working full time for Torrington Bearing Co.

My only Son , born in 1981 learned mecanic from me , he did is Cegep in Electronic , but always worked in related car mecanic and car electric/electronic He have is own car repair shop since more then a decades . He never went in a car mecanic shool like I did . I am now the one learning from him , on all those new tecknology and modification .But ,when he happen to work on old tecknology . . . he call is reteired Dad right off. A carburator for him is still a mystery of the past .

I am a Crossfire Owner only for 3 Years ,now . . . the ultimate learning is done here ,on this great Forum where knowlege did not reached is limit on this mysterious car ,yet .

Thanks to All of You keeping it alive . . .

Daniel
