    who to go with engine build

    On that case, I'd go with Pat. But... things haven't changed in 30 years, I'd do the same today as I did 50+ years ago. Are you getting lazy... like me ?

    Understanding Thermostat Temps

    The pressure increases the boiling point of the coolant. If you have an air bubble, or pocket, it cannot absorb the heat as the liquid can. By pressurizing and increasing the boiling point, it maintains the coolant in a liquid state to enable absorption of heat generated from the cylinders.

    Could someone explain how air shocks work to a newbie? And possibly how to adjust them?

    Air shock inflation works just like a tire, hit the valve let air out, or push the inflator to add air. They could be set up in unison, or separately with individual lines to each shock. You inflate/deflate pressure to your preference with an air pressure gauge. And the old wives tales about...

    Another Interesting Tidbit

    All you kiddies here probably don't know what I'm referring to, but in my youth in school besides fire drills, we also had Air Raid drills.

    Muscle Car era Oldsmobiles

    Absolutely. Buddy had a silver W-30 442 back in the day, another buddy has a Hurst Olds. I personally like Olds, and Pontiac, of all the GM marques.

    Has anyone compared the top aluminum radiators for Mopars?

    I have a 26" in one of my cars. Wizard. Fits on stock mounting. OE shroud fits on radiator. Most importantly, cooling with OE fan & clutch ( required smaller clutch ) functions very well, no problems.

    Rock and Roll Mt. Rushmore

    Start with the one with more diverse musical talent than anyone else... Paul McCartney. Then, add another three of one's choosing.

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    Top o' my list : 75-81 GM F-body Camaro and Firebird, especially the Smokey Bandit Trans Am. Overweight slugs. In my view, the poster child of the 70's of a great car transformed into a loafing oaf. If I had the $$ at the time I might've bought a 73/74 SD-455, one of the best cars at the time...

    I'm wondering to what country they will flee. Hey, they already have a bunch of pennies in their piggy bank.

    How airtight were b-bodies when new?

    The windshield wiper pivot seals are a common culprit for leaks on the 70-earlier models. And why many a front floor pan has dissolved.
