    Get rid of the headers, right?

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I prefer stock exhaust manifold. If you follow Nick's Garage on YouTube he'll give you his opinions on staying stock exhaust manifold and I tend to agree.

    Who here remembers doing this?

    This is the very last can that Meijer in Cincinnati Ohio had on the shelf as they transitioned to plastic bottles. I think that was 1985.

    Who here remembers doing this?

    Local Clark has station in Louisville Kentucky got busted for placing that spout into already empty cans. They had on hidden camera the owner telling the pump jockeys to "make me some extra money tonight". The TV station examined the oil cans on the top stack and showed the already punched...

    Was your dad a gear head or no?

    I wanted a path to eventually own my own car restoration shop. My high school counselor told me (in 1977) cars would never make much money and since I had a ham radio license I should focus on the future (electronics). Little did she know that anything electronic related would be out sourced and...

    Was your dad a gear head or no?

    My dad was a machinist by trade and the neighborhood shade tree mechanic (and bicycle repair guy). Dad loved GM cars basically Pontiac Firebirds and Buick GS 455, but also had a few Studebaker rides here and there. His last ride classic wise was a 1972 Catalina convertible that he kept until...

    Lubing wiper pivot shafts

    I soaked mine in a pan of marvel mystery oil for several days and reassembled the wiper transmission and new seals. That was over five years ago and I test the wipers every so often to cycle the mechanism. No issues.

    Sunday afternoon and no spark.... 440 6 bbl

    Most of these I have trouble shot will give one or two quick sparks when the power is applied, regardless of reluctor position. I hate to tell you many of these modules are dead right out of the box. Was speaking with a fellow Mopar owner the other day who had gone through three of these before...

    Steering box removal. It's never easy for me.

    I received another crush washer from Steer N Gear and so far no leaks. Hopefully this is done and I can focus on other nit picking items.

    About to own 69 coronet 440….what oil weight?

    Rick Ehrenberg says 10w30. I worked with a Ford power train engineer back in the 1990s and he said 10w30 was the best "one size fits all" for muscle cars and classic cars. I've used high mileage 10w30 and a bottle of Rislone zddp. About half of the members here will disagree with this, but it...

    1966 Charger Original A/C car Trying to decide fix the old A/C or replace it

    I see nothing but advantages to installing Vintage Air or Classic Air. Massive weight savings, much cleaner engine bay, small rotary compressor is more efficient and less horsepower load, and these systems seem to be reliable once installed. I spent $$$$, had three guys try their best to...

    P.O.S. Turn signal switch! Who makes a good one?

    @Slantsixdan sells great reproduction switches at a reasonable price. I believe he had them made by a Chrysler supplier.

    Steering column shifter issues

    I agree let's not debate. If you ever find the time measure your circuit. You will be surprised. I've seen neutral safety switch continuity as high as 20 ohms and the car will crank. If I were troubleshooting this with a test lamp I'm sure it would glow bright when the shifter is in Park or...

    Steering column shifter issues

    Six ohms is expected here. The ohm measurement is not the cause of the symptoms of not starting in Park. I get the same ohms in Park or Neutral. Let's just say I have continuity in Park and Neutral and disregard the ohm measurement. The symptoms are it will not crank in Park about half the time.

    Steering column shifter issues

    The neutral safety switch should be near ground in ohms when the switch is closed (park or neutral). This allows the starter relay to energize with the start position of the ignition switch. I'm measuring 5 or 6 ohms which is expected as wire lengths add to my measurements. I'm not sure what...

    Steering column shifter issues

    Needle alignment for Reverse is off slightly, but Park, Neutral, and Drive seems okay. Thanks for the reply and info.
