Have both factory items

I have a fairly high volume $23.00 battery operated pump that I use to empty oil pans and such but it overheats if it sees too much pressure. I just emptied a 275 gallon fuel oil tank with it a couple of weeks ago but I had to stop frequently and let it cool down...

I had a chance to buy one back in the late seventies. I wanted the engine block but an acquaintance beat me to it. He kept the engine and cut everything else up for scrap.

If you're replacing the pump, simply submerge it in a bucket of out and use a long Allen socket on a ratchet (air or battery) and spin the pump shaft. Wipe the oil off he outside of the pump and bolt it up. The pump will immediately start pumping oil (provided there's oil to pump in the...

I've bought stuff from them on occasion over the years and never had an issue. YMMV

DOT-5 (silicone-based) brake fluid does not necessarily lower the durometer (hardness) of rubber seals or components . However, there's a crucial point to understand about DOT-5 and its interaction with older rubber seals: If rubber seals have previously been exposed to DOT-3 or DOT-4...

It's the original box that's been in the car since new in Feb '68 when I took delivery of the car. The return line to the reservoir has been replaced due to rubber fatigue but it is in the same place as the original. The pressure line was replaced a year or so ago with an NOS hose with the...

I just went out in the garage and shot these pictures of the stock MoPar box in my '68 GTX. One bolt is hidden behind the hose fitting and the other is at roughly five o'clock.

With the engine shut off, find the sloppy spot in the steering and then let go of the steering wheel. Start the engine. If the steering wheel twitches one way or the other, the valve body on the top of the steering box will need to be tapped towards the firewall or towards the front bumper...

If you switch to an aluminium radiator, make sure your engine coolant is compatible with aluminium.

Doubt it's a collapsing lower hose because it runs cool at speed.

Think of a charging system as if you were a plumber. The alternator is a faucet with a hose attached. Your hand and eyes are the regulator A pair of equal-sized buckets represents your vehicle's electrical system. Connect the two buckets together in the middle with a length of PVC pipe. The...

in ANY ammeter charging system the ammeter is the LAST device in the charging circuit before you reach the battery. EVERY load should be connected to the alternator side of the ammeter and ONLY the battery positive should be electrically connected to the other side of the ammeter. With the...

Is it actually "rust" or is it excess primer that the baking oven caused to boil and bubble up when the body came out of the primer tank? On the production line the bare metal bodies were suspended from a conveyor and got dipped into a series of tanks that included a cleaning/etching solution...

My thoughts are parking brake CABLE as well especially if, as you mentioned, you had to manually lift the pedal. Disconnect the cable at the tie bar under the floorpan then pull the cable where it connects to the lever inside the drum. Does it move easily? If not, lubricate or replace the...
