Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Rear Tail Shaft Seal/ CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!

Eddie....
What I was refering to was that MOST... NOT ALL PEOPLE are just there for a
pay check. I too deal with the public. I sell pet supplies now and dog food,
and work in a big assed warehouse. I gave up the job working in the powder
coating place. I make more money for alot less blood and sweat. I get to do
a little driving now once a week and make deliveries into Montana and have
to deal with the public also. I know where you are coming from when you said
grumpy and tired people and are just tired of dealing with others. We all
have bad days, and when I start to have a bad one I start my day over. Its
really easy to do and it helps.
I do agree with you about the younger generation, they are the future. Most
of the younger gen. has a good grip on things, as long as they arent into
the dope scene and drinking to get drunk, gangs and b.s like that. I was
once there and I know. I cant change my past, but I can help those who are
on that path. I am not a bible thumper, but I have changed things for the
better and made the choice to stay sober and clean. Its so-so much better
now. Things are looking way brighter then what they where just a few months
ago. A persons attitude can make or break ya.
To keep this AMC related could anyone who reads this, help me determine what
the difference between a V-8 wiring harnes and one for an inline? I know of
someone in need of a wiring harnes for a V-8 and I have one for an inline.
Its out of that Matador Coupe that I have been parting for the past few
months now. Any information on the schematics would greatly be appreciated.
