Picture of a v700 shop manual section. The way it’s written made me think of Shakespeare.

That would really confuse tech's that don't know points.

We had machines (Italian) that had statements like Tighten to a moment of toil" it was my job to translate the translations. Good fun! Got me a trip to Santorso, Italy! They got much better as time went by, we were the first distributor for them in the US.
I tried to keep it so everyone could understand, no Shakespeare.

The owner's manual for the '80 Convert is fun to read for "testing acceleration".

You would likely need to have "Mechanic" printed on your ticket not "Technician" to understand point ignition anyway. DonG :evil:

I learned about point style ignitions from a great man, Robert MacDonald! By the end of his class every student could draw both an electrical schematic and physical representation of an ignition system. That really helped when learning about electronic ignition which was already coming on in 1970. I can still manage to draw a physical representation of a point style ignition all these years later. Thank you Bob!!

IIRC there was an old V7 user's manual with instructions for checking the oil level.
"Insert the oil stick and screw it up completely."

when i was a kid my parents bought a nifty little 8mm movie camera made by a company that no one had heard of. the company was called "nikon" (yes, i am THAT old.) i will never forget one of the lines from that manual: "With the fingers of the left hand attached..."
