I received this note from a rep. of Moore & Wright, confirming some list
member's correct identification of my "mystery tool"
(http://www.members.shaw.ca/bilbo/tool.html)

Looks like it may have some Vanagon use after all!
Do I have the moxie to try it on the inlet manifold I have on the bench
right now? :)
