No, none of his names were anything like that. Malcolm Warren Parker.

carried around an encyclopedic knowledge of all things and could
manufacture whatever he needed from elements in his immediate environment
in order to escape out of whatever predicament his secret agent lifestyle
got him in to.

(I'm amazed that there are fan pages for this show.)
Hmm, that date me, had A-team (thought it was ok but in the end
AWFUL), MacGyver, Hulk, Night Kright, etc. All from early to

But it's the sort of thing he might well have done

a real gift for things mechanical, and he did tend to end up in
places like Poland after the war, or rural India, where you can't
just pop down to the corner store and pick up an arc-welding helmet.
Your dad
wouldn't happened to be named MacGyver by any chance?
