    TTI exhaust install

    Laying cardboard down, to lay on, is well worth the effort. That little bit of 'padding/ insulation' makes all the difference in the world.

    fuel gauge not reading gas at all

    Air Compressor inop

    I would check the pressure switch (aka: 'points)... usually located under a cover that the wires go to. The contacts can get corroded, just like an old distributor. It's where you can also 'tweek' the max pressure build cut-off.

    Classic Cars and Cell Phones Don't Mix Well

    Sorry to disagree, but every person on their phone at a stoplight is what's contributing to traffic congestion. Light turns green, first driver momentarily delays... second driver delays even longer, and so on. Get five to ten vehicles back and your not moving until the light has been green...
