    Probably an incorrect abbreviation for Air Cooled Clip On Wheel Weights.

    My guess is a typo as suggested above and should have read ACCOWW. But it could be something else.

    Yes it was a typo. Should have been ACCOWWs. Never learned to type well. Back when I went to school guys took wood shop... not typing.

    They would not let me take wood shop in High School, not part of College Prep Curriculum but I could take typing and we did not have keyboards yet just electric typewriters, I was the only guy in the class.

    I'm old enough that I took wood shop and typing - on Selectric typewriters. And refinished a Marlin stock in woodshop. Took the bolt out of the 336 and brought the rest to school.

    Who could forget the IBM Selectric? I was lost as soon as they peeled the labels off the keys.

    You guys make me feel old. We had state of the art, new Underwood and Royal manual typewriters. In shop class I built a 5hp go cart, and full kitchen cabinets for mom. (I live there now and still use them)
