    Help I.D. These Parts

    A friend of mine passed away and I am helping the family move his car parts stash. He was a Corvette guy and the only Mopar parts I found were these turn signal assemblies that I did not recognize and need help to identify. The lenses do not have part numbers, but have the DCPD logo with...

    1966 satelite how to raise front?

    The factory service manual show the correct method for adjusting ride height. But the method I used was to start on a level surface and measure from the floor or driveway to the the highest point on the inside of the the wheel opening on the fender. Do this on both left and right sides and...

    1967 Belvedere II side molding clip question

    I can tell you that on my car, a two door hardtop, the plastic clips were used on the quarter panels and doors but not the front fenders. If I remember correctly, the quarter panel has a clip with a nut at the rear and the door has a clip with a nut at the rear, the rest are plastic. On my car...

    Used car advice

    Toyota. I bought a new 2000 Camry, V6, 5-speed manual. Still have it with 375,000 miles. Timing belts replaced every 100,000 and oil changes every 3000 miles. Original clutch replaced at 340,000. Best car I have ever owned.

    67 gtx washer pump

    Rich, I know that it has been a while since this discussion, But I thought I would let you know that I finally got around to experimenting with DIY zinc plating and I plated the windshield washer motor housing with the magnet in place. The plating did not stick to the magnet and the motor still...

    Stopping rust in situ.

    I have a 2006 Dodge Ram that I bought new and noticed some rusty looking paint bubbles over the rear wheel opening on the driver's side. I cleaned out the poorly designed area between the quarter panel brace and the bed and sprayed Fluid Film into the area. At the same time, I also treated the...

    Obscure question for the old guys. Remember the tiger in the tank promotion?

    It appears from looking at my old magazine ads, that Pontiac started the use of the word "tiger" in their print ads in 1963, it was used in a Tempest ad. The latest use I can find is in 1966, when they used the used the phrase " 3 Wide-Track Tigers - 2+2, GTO and OHC 6". The ad also says to send...

    popping the clutch in reverse.

    I know that a car can start if in reverse and the key is turned, especially if it has a low rear end gear. I worked in a gas station in the mid 60's that had a wash bay. A friend had a beautiful '67 SS396 Chevelle that he used to come in and wash. Since it had wide Goodyear white letter tires...
