What does FRAM stand for?? What does STP actually stand for?? Can you name the 10 sizes the SBC was offered from the factory for production cars? Where is Wolfman Jack according to the movie American Graffitti? Which states do not have an OCTANE Law "this means what you pump and pay for may not actually be what yer gettin"? Who invented the Monkey wrench?
I have a great trivia question.........how come after I eat broccoli my farts smell worse than usual?
A little known fact is, there were four designers on the Monkee wrench. Micky Dolenz Mike Nesmith David Jones Peter Tork. After they refined the Monkee wrench, Peter Tork struck out on his own and designed another popular wrench. Can you guess which one?
The history of FRAM® dates back over 70 years when the original chemists, Frederick Franklin and T. Edward Aldam, invented an easily-replaceable oil filtering element at their laboratory in Providence, RI. Automotive oil filters of various types had been on the market for nearly ten years, yet were difficult to install, change and clean. Franklin and Aldam, whose last name combination gave rise to the company name, set out to solve these problems with their revolutionary filters. thank you fram homepage
STP = Scientifically Treated Petroleum FRAM = Frederick Franklin & T. Edward Aldam invented an easily replacable oil filter element and used a combinatioon of their last names for the company name. SBC Sizes 262 -- '75-'76 265 -- '54-'56 267 -- '79-'82 283 -- '57-'67 302 -- '67-'69 305 -- '76-'92 307 -- '68-'73 327 -- '62-'68 350 -- '69- 400 -- '70-'79 The Wolfman inAmerican Graffiti-- the depiction of Wolfman Jack broadcasting live from a local studio in California via a transmitter in Mexico is not accurate. Since provisions of the Brinkley Act forbade cross-border broadcasting, Wolfman taped his show in his Los Angeles studio and then had the tapes carried into Mexico to be broadcast from XERB's 50,000 watt transmitter site the following day. Charles Moncky invented the monkey wrench around 1858.
A London blacksmith named Charles Moncke. It was originally called a Moncke's Wrench, which morphed into Monkey Wrench.
