Paying it forward.

I received my new to me Snap-on dwell adjuster with the add on adapter
for the idle set screws. If there is any interest in my old Calvan 456, pick
a number between 350 and 455. The one closest to the # in my head will win
and it will be sent to you free of charge. I better write it down now or I may forget, Ha.

Just a fun little game for my Oldsmobrothers. I know it's not much, but
they are handy little critters. I will post the winner next Sat. morning.

I go with 400. Even if this is right, you can give to the runner up!

the right # before next Sat; I will let everyone know and get it in the mail.

Thanks tru-blu!

My guess is 433, because of the remaining numbers that appears to be the one that is "closest to" the most open numbers at this point. And also, of course, because that's how many pages long the 1999 Olds Silhouette manual is! (credit goes to Google for that one).

Thanks for helping me procrastinate at work! Don't need the prize, so will pass to the runner up as well if I win!
