[AT] in cab refrigerators?

[charlie hill]

Back then hard work and fun kind of went hand in hand.  There wasn't a lot 
of time to play.  You had to have fun at what you were doing.   I never 
remember thinking it was all that hard.  Sometimes hot, sometimes cold and 
sometimes boring but not all that hard really.   I think the main thing that 
makes them breath fire is having the carb jet open maybe a bit too far and 
having the manifold hot enough to make the exhaust fumes light off.

I will have to admit, I would like to get my Super A-1 dialed in to where it 
will breathe fire under load at night!  I would like to be able to take it 
out on fall evenings after school and plow to relieve stress....amazing how 
something that was hard work can become "fun" later....
