Re: [Amc-list] Help! I need suggestions on my 86 Eagle



Like I said earlier I never had a problem with mine, but I'd take a nice new one to ditch the glass fuses!
My dad lost the first joint off his right index finger after getting a piece of fuse glass in it! They could not find the piece of glass and it infected till it got in the bone. They took xrays and could see that bit of glass, but they could not actually locate itin person. They would cut and snip and clean and xray and think it was gone, yet it hurt and owuld not heal. they'd take an exray and there it was again! Once the bone wasinfected they just peeled the skin back and snipped it off the sewed it back up. He kept the nail so it's just a shorter finger.
  Oops, pain killers kicked in, I'm rambling....
