<VV> Terminal block, Not a: HRPT

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Now now, be nice. The swing axle wasn't great, but it worked. Not  defective. 
 
Viton was something GM should've done after the first year or two, but  
didn't. Defective design. 

HRPT, defective design. Not a lot of other  makes of cars used that defective 
design.

Here we  are again, Roberts. Back again at the same old issue. Ralphy 
complained that  the EM's swing axle design was a "bad design", and that the proof of 
that was  the upgrade in the late model's suspension. You are using the same 
logic, that  a later improvement proves that the earlier design is defective. 
Under that  logic, Corvairs themselves are defective, in so many ways, simply 
because  automotive technology has surpassed Corvairs in many areas. Viton is 
just one  of them.

No, it's your logic that is faulty. Not the OEM late model  terminal block.

Again, something that on a LOT of other cars, lasts forever.  Bad design. 
Sorry, those are the facts of the matter. After all, the pushrod  tube Orings are 
a lousy design as well, right? And who in their right mind  would replace 
these with OE style Orings? I wouldn't. Viton fixes the problem  longer than the 
heads will stay on the engine!

Maintainence would include replacing it when it deteriorates. After  all, 
when something deteriorates doesn't it need maintainence, by definition?  So if 
the terminal block is deteriorated, damaged, doesn't function as  intended, 
etc., isn't that by definition needing  maintainence?
