Default the tune-up barter

an old man sells vegtables/fruit from an old "tom's snacks" truck and
goes around the niegborhood, his truck would'nt start and he was just
down the street. went to help and could smell gas but heard the
carb sucking for gas. he said the truck has been actiing up and
smells of gas with a small leak, the pump had come
lose and loosened the fuel line as well, even the gasket was torn,
made a new gasket, tightened up the pump/lines and cleaned the
dist. cap and it started right up, he gave me a bag of apples, bag
of oranges, and a bag of bannas for my grandkids, the 350 needed
a tune-up and i have extra parts for a 350 so he's coming over this
wk end for me to tune it up, in exchange for vegtables and fruit,
its a pleasure not working on a computer engine and 350's are
nice to work on, got fruit? :wink:
