Makes me feel a little better since they are in heated areas.
I got a good infrared thermometer for my Sister to use in her goat cheese production.
She was having electrical problems in the mobile home part of her place and that thermometer probably saved it from burning down.
One of her outlets with very little load on it was about 50° hotter than the others. Loose connection, AL wiring.
Hard to believe they didn't do a recall on those old mobile homes.

Yup. I can remember driving like the teenage fool that I was with five people crammed into the cab,
everybody smoking cigs less than six inches from the behind the seat tank that always seeped a little.
The safety feature was no seat belts so if it blew you would get thrown out of the burning vehicle.

It was the rite of passage for a kid with a truck.
Only the best of us could speed shift that three on the tree though....... I used to drive my buddy's nuts with 2nd gear scratches out of the '66.

My 57 Buick special had vacuum wipers too. Also had a cruise control of sorts.
Set the dial to the speed you wanted to go and a buzzer would go off if you went faster than the setting.
The air filters sure were cheap though.

I had cars with vacuum wipers also, I think the 48 Dodge, and the 53 Chevy. Big deal was to fit a double acting fuel pump so the wipers would keep running under high throttle. The fuel pump had a second diaphragm in it with the sole purpose of keeping the vacuum up to the windshield wipers.
Kinda like replacing the first gen brake booster with hydraulics.
