My wife sucked said #3 valve near Avenal as she headed back for SF to LA. I got to rescue her by driving from SF to Avenal to LA, and then back to SF to drop off the sis-in-laws car. I think I flew back to LA and then went back for the 70 van 3 weeks later. Suffice it to say, my wife has never forgotten (35 yrs) that escapade nor the field laborers she met in the motel where I picked her up in the morning. So, I discovered that #3 valve early in my life and have never forgotten that brilliant piece of engineering, nor did I ever again drive 80mph on the #5 in 90F weather.
