You mean you don't let the fuel pump drive rod fall down, fumble about, cuss a bit, smear it with grease and then stuff it back in there?
Looks like a tool for a brake caliper piston. You know, those annoying ones that have to be turned back in.

Spreader tool for struts?

Nope. I let others do that for a bit and then show them the secret passage to thread the home made bolt in to that junctions the rod bore so the bolt pinches the rod (use ZERO force!) in place while pump is swapped out easy peezy. Should not take longer than 10 minutes to replace SBC fuel pump.

CORRECT! This one is Ford. Got it for my Mark V. slightly annoying but the superior design for rear disc parking brake especially over the little brake shoe design on the MM

That is a Moon shine jug corncob cork remover. Use when Billy Joe Bob gets a little to drunk and knocks the corncob too far down in the jug and he can't get his 2 remaining teeth on it to pull it out. Very rare tool, but still widely use in 4 rural Alabama counties.

Valve spring compressor for removing valve springs while head is on the vehicle.

Bingo! We have a winner! You have won.... ahhh nothing!


The round fitting gets an air hose fitting and screws in to spark plug hole, add shop air with piston at TDC. Tool then compresses spring allowing valve keeper to be removed so u can replace valve seal w/o having to remove head

Yep, one of the 2 fittings is in the pic (lower left)

BINGO! You got it Roger. Wow, that was fast!


In more detail: Early 1980s, GMs very 1st computerized ignition/fuel management system called CCC (Computer Command Control). Used this "key" to short 2 terminals on the under dash connector (think OBD2 connector but smaller). Shorting the terms would activate onboard diagnostics and give a blink code on the CEL.

My generation used a paper clip

Used paper clips many times when couldn't find a "key".


When GM first rolled out CCC I attended the class at AC/Delco training facility in Brookfield WI. The gave each of us a fist full of these "keys".
