4.3 Tweety...eaten by Sylvester (AC Fixed)

Screwdriver to ear = good idea, works like a charm (aka mechanic's stethoscope)

Screwdriver to teeth = bad idea.

Doc

I figured he was trying to be funny and bust my chops so I ignored him. I am hoping he was joking...there can't really be someone that swift.... That would be like licking a plug wire to see if you got spark.....

Thanks again Doc..

tool? Pep-boys? I looked there recently, never found one...p.s. Its metal to metal when new.

Yep..Pep Boys had the tool on the shelf. The first one that I tried to rent from Autozone wasn't even for GM AC units, the second tool from Autozone was for pre 1986 cars, and the one from Pep Boys was just right!!! I got a schooling on this job, but will not have a problem with the next job like this.

Well here is a story something close to licking plug wires....I had an instructor in college that must have been jolted by every automotive voltage known to man...There was this straight 6 Ford tractor motor that we used in class to test our carb rebuilds, and just for FUN...this crackhead would walk up and shut the motor down by shorting all six spark plugs to the block WITH HIS HANDS...I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it. He twitched like he had terrets (spelled wrong I am sure..but you get the pic) from all the voltage. He taught fuel systems AND auto electronics; a deadly combo. The poster boy for what not to do!!!
