Take your meter on ohms and probe each end of the coils on the dimmer. It is the same as a fuel sending unit. It must read a completed circuit. It can’t be a open circuit. If it is open it will not work, there is a break in the windings some where. If you continue to probe it back towards the...

I like overdrives for highway cruising to keep up with traffic today. That being said I truly don’t believe anyone will save enough money in gas mileage to get a return on their investment without running many many more miles than most of us run our classics. You have to just value the overdrive...

Even TSC tarps are crazy in their pricing. I went next door to a Ollies bought 8 mill instead of 4 mill for half the cost.

I bought 3 Passion hemi overdrives. Put one in my 440 6pac cuda with 410 gears. Overdrive is very nice now in that car however it is like driving a three speed with overdrive. I’m not sure I would like it as good with 3.23 gears. That said I put one in my 66 Satellite that was a original three...

I had 4 garden tractors that weren’t titled but were built as pulling tractor pullers for my boys and me. As far as the IRS was concerned they were all 4 used to clean out chicken barns on our farm. All my vehicles are titled to our business’s.

My 2006 Charger RT Daytona still has the original tires on it with 12,000 miles. It gets driven every summer thousand miles or so. Tires look like new. It is stored at 25 percent humidity and 65 degrees year round. I believe the plain old sitting kills them. I have had 2 older radials blow out...

2008 I was leaving Punta Gorda Fl at 8:00 am on a Sat with a 40’ motorhome with a Suburban towing behind it. I was at a 4 way intersection with red lights turning left onto a 4 lane Rt 17. I just got through the center and started moving into the right lane. Out of nowhere came a Fl State...

If you have a CDL in Pa anything 15 mph over the posted limit is a serious offense and never comes off your CDL no matter what you do. If you get caught a second time 15 mph over kiss your CDL good by never to have another in PA, maybe in another state but not Pa. I have a CDL so I watch the...

If you have the piece? I use epoxy with a metal patch behind it and clamp it for the reinforcement. Rough up the metal real good to get good adhesion. The metal I make go past the joint as far as I can to spread out the load. I repair a-lot of plastic trims that break the same way, only with...

Don’t get caught in Ontario Canada either they report back to Pa.

I will explain in case my pictures don’t come through. The front of console doesn’t have anything going across it. The third steel bracket there is for the side screw and to mount a round tach driver for the console tach. The console screws down by the cross bar in front of the lid and inside...

If you are looking down underneath the top plate at that bracket and are wondering what those holes are for that are in the front bracket welded to the tunnel? There should be a fiberglass composite piece going from one side to the other of the console that is the front hold down for the console...

I have to look at mine tomorrow but the top hole is for the 4spd chrome trim. I think the middle holes is for the Auto chrome trim that sits lower on the side of console.

That hole is to reach in and put a screw in the side of the console to pull the 4spd hump away from the gas pedal towards the center of car. There should be a tab that sticks down on the left side of the front consoles mount that is welded to the tunnel. When the carpet is installed over that...

Thanks Mike I was thinking that might be the easiest option.
