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

    Never in 55 years have I encountered anyone who tore the shock x-member from air shocks. We did these installs routinely back in the day, even on station wagons. In your case, please educate me how the rear end twisted. How did the air shocks cause the rear axle to twist ? The rear end is...

    Back to school bash

    Wonderful ! The importance of local LE involvement personally with local youth groups cannot be overstated. A familiarity...a camaraderie... a trust... is developed on BOTH sides, which reaps benefits for everyone in the long run. In NYC, we have the PAL ( Police Athletic League )

    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.

    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.
