You see some odd things in workshops, but I think this beats most of late.
I walked into the workshop and noticed the work Vac in action plugged into the exhaust of the Fraud while it was being repaired.
Now would anyone like to take a shot as to what was being done to the vehicle that required the use of a Vacuum Cleaner connected to the exhaust.
The answer is too follow soon.

Is that some sort of new fangled way of checking the mixture?????

If the vacuum cleaner explodes, that indicates the mixture is too rich...... ;)

Perhaps they're trying to prove once & for all that Fords really do suck?

I bet they were doing a heli-coil on a spark plug thread.

We have a winner.
The Heli-coil was the last half of the job, the beginning was cutting out the broken/seized spark plug end as the owner broke the plug on removal.
The Vac made a handy blower to stop crap dropping into the cylinder.

It was really a blow up Ford and they were using the vacuum cleaner to inflate it?
