Can anyone tell me

[Jeff Balazs]

Here in CA a "wonton" is also known as a "Juanton" . We always referred to it as an "one ton".

"Scru Yu Too" has relatives in many nationalities!

Yes he does.

 

What I would like to see is a new series of Ram Truck TV commercials with Sam Elliot doing a reenactment of old Wise Way Tu.

That would be sure to get everyone's attention.

My Dad was a 39 year employee of Ma Bell/ New England Telephone /ATT / Verizon.. This tool was standard issue when he entered into there employ in 1959.  Being a you lad in the 60's and having access to his tool belt, this one tool used to amaze me at how well it was made.  Thanks for bringing back this memory.

My dad worked as an Electrical Engineer and I believe he received the Yankee screwdriver as a gift one Christmas from a co-worker.

Don posted one with odd labeling on the packaging.

 

Today I picked up a US made Fel-Pro exhaust pipe flange gasket for my '33. I called the store yesterday afternoon and specified it by Fel-Pro part number based on my database. It fits fine but I was struck by the usage on the label: "AMC, Jeep/Eagle 4, 6, 1933-73". Odd since AMC did not exist as a brand or manufacturer until the 1950s, Jeep was not a brand until after WW2 and Eagle was a name used pretty late in the AMC history. None of those were around in 1933 despite what the label says.

Perhaps the 1933 was listed as time of day. 7:33 PM

lots and lots of stuff interchange and things as common as exhaust flanges are one of them...they know the use of each part industry wide and will list all application as they know them.  Flanges are also available for fabricators at home to compile their own system and with that, the gasket is also listed for that flange.  Some very strange parts interchange and amazes me how things like a brake master will be as common on an American piece of iron and decade or so later still be applicable to a newly made European car...it all boils down to the subassembly suppliers..companies like BW, Wagner, Raybestos etc etc..they are the real dealers behind the Detroit and other builders...they develop this stuff on their own and sell it to companies or built by specific specs as given to them by engineers...if they come up with it...then the market is wide open to them to exploit and sell to as many makers in the market that want to pony up the cash for x size order..

Yes. But while that same gasket definitely fits a bunch of Dodge and Plymouth vehicles and probably a whole lot more, the only application was for 1933 through 1973 AMC, Jeep/Eagle. And there were no 1933-45 AMC, Civilian Jeep or Eagle vehicles made.

 

The fact that the auto manufacturers use a lot of standardized parts over a lot of years makes the old car hobby a lot more feasible than if they didn't. I drove my '33 to a family gathering several hundred miles away a few years back and developed a leak that was best fixed by a new gasket. Happened to be a generic auto supply store across the street from the hotel we were staying at so I walked over, bought the part, and had it installed in short order. My father was incredulous that I could get any part for my car that easy.

maybe I misread your very application in your post...1933-73 ....???....and the Eagle would be the AMC Eagle of later years I agree and the Eagle series of later years were Chrysler new division introduced I think in 1993...but I still maintain that even if the year was not specific to the later model, the later model would probably reference back to the part number for the earlier application...but then it is only a part..as long as it comes up for the application in question..logic plays no part...
