Working on an oil rig 35 years ago, the driller keep yelling for me to get him some panther piss. I asked "what the hell are you talking about"? He went to his truck and brought out a couple cans of WD-40,and yelled "kid you are a dumb ***". I still call it panther piss after all these years, and yea I call kids dumb asses when they can't read my mind.

Basically 3/4 of the way between a stock and a full race cam in terms of lift and duration. Typically it represented the most radical cam that you could live with on the street.

Binder reminds me of a white 1966 Int P/U a friend in high school had. It was a 345 bus motor with three on the tree. He and I took off down a 15 mile stretch of highway. I was following in my 1955 Olds 98 and another friend was following in a 1970 Ford SW. We were at 110 mph cruising and the Ford started fading back then puffed a cloud of smoke and slowed way down. That old binder P/U ran pretty good! Not sure what happened to the 302 in the SW but it never ran the same....

as for the list.... "Gorilla snot" 3M weatherstrip adheasive
 
Let`s see if I can dredge any up from my rapidly declining memory......

crescent wrench = farmer`s fit all

beat up car = ragged out

heavy acceleration with a diesel = pouring on the coal

anything you could not recall the name of at the moment was a "doomerhitchy" or better yet a "chromiumreversethrozzlerod"

I always liked "muffler bearings" and "blinker fluid" for people who know nothing about cars.

When I was stationed in Germany in the early `80s, I had a 1969 Ford Taunus that had a V-4 and a four on the tree.

Then, when I was stationed in Korea, I was the duty driver for the Deputy Base Commander. We had the Catusas (ROK soldiers working with the US) convinced that they had to rotate the air in the tires of all the vehicles in the motor pool. It was funny to watch these guys go out to a vehicle, deflate all the tires, and refill them with "fresh" air.....that is until I was running late one day. I got to the motor pool to find four flats on my jeep, and not a Catusa in sight! It took me twenty minutes of running back and forth with an air tank to fill all four tires and get going. The DBC was not happy that he had to wait and he threatened me with an Article 15 for failure to report! That pretty much ended the "air rotation".

OH and lets not forget about the "gas guzzlers" and "rice burner" with the big "fart cans" coming out the back.
