fpr shim with a calculator screw

well i gave up trying to find a place that sold the number 4-14 screw and remember someone saying its basically "a calculator screw" so i saw the calculator sitting there all innocent and decided to try it, after I wrestled a screw out of the calculator I pulled the fpr apart took out the bb and put it in. Now my fp gauge bounces from 60-70 at idle instead of 70ish to 80. so im happy i know this has been beat to death but I thought it was humerous.

A search for a #4-40 screw might be more successful [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: fpr shim with a calculator screw

like modding the truck you got too do it in stages, first get rid of wife or drive her so insane with your own insanity that she leaves, then blame her for everythign adn find girlfriend, one taht is not nearly as nuts as the wife, truth be told they are out there, I didn't beleive it either, a woman that likes hockey, loves to drive my truck, likes my kids, even has two jobs!!!!!!! damn I'm lucky [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

OR as she's laughing at thsi now, you really love her adn tommorow your going to bring flowers home for her and wash her car for her cause thats way cheaper than an ex-wife.
