UPS Hiring anybody off the street??

Naw, our mechanic told me they ran out of cam before they over-revved and try as I might I couldn't get it to overheat.
Shoot, I had one a few years earlier that wouldn't hold oil for all the leaks. One day I got tired of it rattling, and stopped and put 6 quarts in it. Never missed a beat.

I liked the 4.9 injected version in the P32s, but they would gobble up sparkplugs with the extremely long tip they used. Never any problems except for one that would balloon oil filters.

BTW you STILL could blow one from overrevving by dropping a low gear downhill.

It works with Chevy 292s. There was schrapnel all up in the frame rails. I only had 1 300, and it expired due to lack of oil.

Attention Everyone!
Thirty years ago UPState was in the Air Force. He wants you to know this, because it makes him feel superior to you - a mere civilian.

Whether you like the man or not, it ain't cool to belittle a mans Service Record.
Also in the 70's and 80's if an applicant had been in the service that often caught the eye of HR for Off the Street Drivers.

Debatable. My wife's step-father was Coast Guard on a destroyer escort, and saw time in both the Atlantic and Pacific in WWII.
And back then, DE's were basically decoy targets.

In Seattle/Redmond they are hiring off the street for drivers due to the fact they have exhausted the part time ranks. Looking for 100 drivers in the Redmond building alone before peak. Advertising on the radio for drivers. Have never seen this in my 25 years. Crazy.
