Mandera's plugs, and Costanzo's dome lights

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

Tom,

        Try a hotter plug (heat range) and you may getmore life before
the plugs foul.  Seems to work in any Sm block chevy I/the family ever had.

Joe,

        I remember talking about this some time ago.  I had the '72 Chevy 
Suburban as well as my Scout for a few years.  The dome lights are the same,
except for the wire attachment methods on the light base.  The lens is one 
for one, and available either aftermarket or from GM for about $3.  They are
bright white, instead of the usual yellow we all know so well.  The bases (the
part in the headliner) is available in either chrome or white plastic so you
have a choice.  The lights I speak of are in '67 to '72 Chevy pickups, 
ambulances,
suburban carryalls, and some buses.

        Good luck, and keep an eye in the chevy power mags, truckin' and sport
truck mags for the suppliers.

     Speaking of dome lights, at Nationals, somebody (sorry, I forget who 
     it was) told me that the actual dome cover of the dome light is the 
     same as in a *something else* truck - I've forgotten whether it was a 
     Chevy or a Ford, and what era.  Anyone have any insight here? <snip>
