    Theo Huxtable won't be down for breakfast

    Yeah, we watched him grow up along side our kids. He was a great character on "The Resident". It really shocked me to hear how he died. Sharks, Rip currents, man, I'm not going in the ocean! Rest in peace knowing that so many people loved you Malcolm!

    1968 Plymouth GTX

    Yeah if it's too smooth, no sticky! Just remember that the Epoxy primer has a time frame for recoating with color otherwise you'll have to rough it up with scotch Brite.

    Law Enforcement apprehends a ‘Bad Guy’ FBBO member at Carlisle

    I'm sorry that you had to go through that. According to my unofficial research, about 60% of police are Dick's. The new breed of police don't know the law or the constitution and they are not there to "serve and protect". I can't understand why they are able to harass people like you for a turn...

    Unfortunately that's what everyone is doing these days. I just purchased two CR seals for $10.77ea., and had to pay $21.65 to have them shipped to me. Highway robbery.

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    One last thing to think about is if you draw 75A, the V-belt will slip and squeel! The alternator will be under a heavy load and the belt won't be able to drive it. Ha! That's why all the new vehicles with big alternators have serpentine belts. Stick with a 60A.

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    The Denso has a seperate regulator with a diode bridge that's replaceable. In about ten minutes. I'm not sure you would call it a one-wire unit though. If you read the bottom of the page for the pigtail connector it explains that the blue wire is the sense wire that goes to a 12v source, the...

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    The problem with the factory alternators is that they don't charge well at idle. The Denso charges really well at idle, that's why so many put them on their cars, and they last forever. Also, they have an internal regulator.

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    If you don't need all that juice to run fans, lights, electric pumps, Etc., why? 60A is enough for a stocker.

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    Get a 60A Denso and the bracket kit from Mancini. No more charging problems at idle. Internal regulator too!

    Water pump bolt broke/stuck into the block. Any ideas how to extract it?

    At my job we had all different sizes of broken fasteners busted off at different heights. Taps broken down in holes of a part that was finished! It was a real P.I.T.A. sometimes, but we had to get them out somehow. We had E.D.M. machines to burn out hardened taps, welding machines and mag base...

    Water pump bolt broke/stuck into the block. Any ideas how to extract it?

    I have a Irwin/Hanson set of left-hand drill bits and easy-outs. 10 piece Extractor and drill set with left hand cobalt drills. 11119. The kit costs about $40.00 and is well worth it. It really works well on just broken bolts, but not rusty heated bolts. The left-hand drill itself will sometimes...
