Looks like that one has both mVolts/ mAmps on the selector. How good is the auto ranging on that one ?

You've got me. The Governor explained that she is not in a position which is voted for, so there is no reason whatsoever for people to be picketing and protesting her. She is a very well schooled and respected scientist/epidemiologist. And Rivers, common sense is gone... everywhere.... literally everywhere. Where's the damn power button? I want to hard reboot 2020.

Not as good as my Fluke, but as good as my Klein. My Craftsman auto-ranges as well as my Fluke. Sometimes I think it might be a Fluke under Craftsman skin.

I hear you. About Covid I recently listened to someone rant on how if people want his respect they have to earn it. How backwards is that? Myself and the people I grew up with were taught to respect everyone because respect's not something you earn, it's something you can lose. It's just common sense.

Pulled this up for the Ford XTR meaning. Others may have a use for it.

I always wondered why bbl is short for barrel as in 4/bbl carburetor. Shouldn't it be brl? Maybe one you wise guys/gentlemen knows the answer and can enlighten me.

I heard that in the 19th century barrels were color coded based on size and that the 42 gallon barrel was coded blue and when they started filling them with oil the blue barrels became the standard for liquids at 42 gallons. It was the abbreviation for Blue BarreL.
This was two centuries ago but you know how people like traditions.

Also, it could all be bull**** from some old man that told me that.

Edit:
Seems this person heard the same story https://www.cpgnation.com/history-of-the-4bbl-abbreviation/

Quick question, on my 99 4.2 there is a plastic tub that runs from the drivers side valve cover to the intake elbow.. What is the part # of the 90deg grommet that goes in the valve cover? Or name I can't find it on ford parts direct.
