Thanks Guys, seems these son of a guns are coming quicker every year. Ive always wondered why we celebrate b days, as they can be the leading cause of death. When reading most obituaries, the cause of death is too many birthdays.....hhhhmmmmnnn

My move to a small town has pushed me into finding the closest machine shop that can regrind cranks. The shop I chose was about an hours drive away. They did a couple for me a while back at $150 each and did a good job. Just got three more back, a cast and a forged 440, and a forged 413, I...

Prolly something like Kid Rocks story. When he first got some mega bucks he bought a mega million bucks house, huge. Said it even had a full size theater room, in which he never used but once. And that was when he was passing thru one night and passed out on the couch in there. He got bored...

For my street cars I just glue the foiled backed jute insulation to the divider board. My last town had upholstery shops that would sell me large, thick divider board blanks that I could custom fit. I suppose a thin piece of paneling cut to fit, and secured well, would hold the Kil-Mat in place.

Haven't bought a complete kit for my Mopars yet, but , have purchased several complete kits for various GMCs. Inline Tubes were the closest fit as of yet and still needed final correction manipulation. SS tube was the worst in fitment. If you only need a couple of short runs, and have a double...

We have been in drought like condition for over two months now in middle Ga, and I am seeing WAY less moskeeters than normal....

Dorman makes universal ones that I have used, Chinese crap that does NOT last very long. I have used 50 year old boogered up ones cause the new stuff I found was worthless.

Any value in clear coating with a good body clear coat? Had to do some carb adjusting and spilled gas a couple of times on the intake. Engine paint bubbled up there. So don't today's top coats have unleaded gas peeling resistance in them.

Years ago I had a compressor with massive internal failure. Sent powdered metal thru the whole system, wipe the oil on your fingers and it looked like paint poly. Took it down to just the two coils, got a funnel and hose and poured in purple cleaner. Began blowing it out with compressed air and...

Guys, just got back several cranks I had reground. They were not bagged, or greased and will begin degrading very soon unless I take some long term storage steps. Ive ordered plastic bags but wondering what the best preservative to spray them with. Ive used WD 40 in the past and that does not...

Kinda shocking to me also. The compressor sounds fine, blows cold air, dumping water. I did not change dryer, or anything else. Guess we will see how long it lasts, thanks guys.

Neighborhood kid got an early 2000 Honda Civic running and drivable. Hood support rod had rubbed a hole in the metal line hose crimp and discharged all the gas sometime in the past. Car had set at least ten years with "open" system. I replaced the damaged line and pumped down the system for...

Scott, I eliminate mine and just put in a manual inline open/close valve the auto parts stores sell. But I live in the south and only need to open mine for a few weeks out of the year.

Do you know what car was on the cover that month you looking for or was the Charger you described on the cover......

I would coat those shims with some Copperkote and slap them back on, while I waited for a new set to arrive. You may be just fine and NOT need them, and have a spare set, which would be somewhat valuable as the long wait time you guys have. Repulling heads is not that much of a bigger for me...

I needed new carpet for a Chevelle a few weeks ago and having installed most all the main suppliers upholstery, I have seen Legendary stuff that was a cut above in quality in materials, design, and stitching. Of course their stuff is also a bit more in cost as we know we get what we pay for. I...

Yu Tube vids help me a lot. When I can see where the original spot welds were helps me in cutting if Im shooting to replace a complete repop part. That, and have the replacement panel in hand BEFORE cutting. As someone here has said, where there's rust, there's more.

U tube has a ton of vids addressing this issue. I saw one a while back as a machine shop machinist described mainly what tool man mikes vid posted; bad lifters. He said most all the lifters used in the USA were from two main manufactures. At the end he named the one manufacture that his shop had...

The carbon brushes sometimes lose contact at the stator/armature point. Dust, crud, and worn/loose springs all can add to a no start, and then starting.

Sacrifices to the Gods of Speed as Burt Monroe use to say.....however painful they may be....
