The ability to locate and correct car troubles quickly is a valuable asset to the repairman. That's what the good book says.

It's an asset to the paying customer, too!

Competence?

979 could be the number of an early T? 979 could be part #T 979? Or it could be a special code number to activate a something? Or it could be one of those special 979 things. I dunno.

Is it like the nonsense 6,7 the kids say.
When I hear that I respond with 4,5.
The equivalent of fair to midlin. (confuse them back)

Wasn't 979 the prefix for all the porn telephone numbers back in the day? LOL

It’s a reference from the Model T Ford Service Manual.

Paragraph 979
