<VV> Junction block, was: HRPT

[J R Read_HML]

Hi Mark,

Shouldn't a "block" be essentially square on six sides (like a die - 
singular for dice) as opposed to round (like a poker chip)?  Don't we have 
other "non-standard" names for other car parts?  Without listing a number of 
them, what are "shocks"?

If I use that term - shocks - which category of "car enthusiasts" am I 
placed into?  If someone says that they need a rear window for a '66 coupe, 
are you going to jump all over them for not calling it a backlight?

Relax man... life is too short as it is.

Please smile now as this was not intended to be hurtful, but more like - 
enlightening.

Later, JR
