    Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Collapses

    When I was in the Navy in engineering. We always ran extra equipment during restricted maneuvering (any time you were not out in open sea, or a long side another ship, flight ops, basically when you should be attentive). This meant double everything, extra pumps, generators, blowers, just to...

    Has anyone seen this while installing a big block in place of a small block?

    The studs are too long on these new/replacement mounts. Remove from engine, cut the excess stud from mount face towards the engine block, the plates will rest higher up in toward the block and allow it to settle down in mounts on K frame. Had this issue last summer dummying my sons motor into...

    Excessive Fan Noise due to fan speed

    Excessive Fan Noise due to fan speed

    Always use a fan clutch. Chrysler developed these in the 1950's. The don't require as much power with a more aggressive fan. Thermal units will move toward lock up as unit gets hot, now if it's 5" away from radiator you are losing some of this action. Only cheap cars with small radiators should...

    Believe the '69 and earlier to '66 I think are the same '70 up are easiest, plastic harness connector can go through column with string that you pulled up when you pulled out old switch. '69 and earlier have to have wires pulled out of plastic connector to pull them back down through them...

    How to make a better home cooked hamburger ?

    My wife has been adding dry French onion soup mix to ground beef for burgers for years. Worcestershire is a good additive. Salt and pepper always. Cooked in cast iron skillet is best IMHO.

    Warning: Dealership Rant!

    I believe as soon as they let the Internet into these new cars they are not worth owning. The fasteners are a huge problem, A thousand different ones, one time use, green my ***. Want to reduce your carbon footprint? Get rid of single use fasteners, and modular component replacement parts...

    742 case with 3.91 gear - Manufacturer Recommendations

    In the '80s 4.10s were pretty miserable. Nowadays 4400-4500 rpm to get passed by almost everyone is annoying.

    There is no ugly

    I vote Satellite, but I'm old. If you're a young guy the Challenger is a option. I have a '70 and now they are just hard to get in and out of. FWIW.
