    Bought a k car

    I know I always get at least 2 people start talking to me when I drive my Daytona...and that's just grocery store runs or to the outlets, not car shows! You're right, they were disposable for most people. I knew early on mine was rare - one of 150 AGS package cars and 1 if 26 in my color combo...

    1969 Charger Fuel Sending Unit

    Replaced my 70s unit this winter. I want to say I jacked it by the diff...but may have used a forward spring perch. I just don't remember maneuvering around a jack on the side is all. It's a little rubiks-cube...but it comes out. Run the tank as dry as you can though, so you don't shower with...

    Bought a k car

    LOVE IT!! You will have no problem finding mechanical parts - they shared everything back then. Body names: G - Daytona. P - Shadow/Sundance. J - LeBaron coupe/convertible. K - Aries/Reliant. A - Spirit/Acclaim. Even the first gen minivans used the same powertrains and front suspension bits...

    Used Police cars ???

    AWD = mo' maintenance...and mo' fuel (heavier). And, they look like they have a lift kit to me (just sayin'). But, you do you. It'll be column shift, possibly no console (depending what they left in it), but one nice bonus (unless they changed it) is when you hit the "traction off" button...it's...

    Any plumbers in here?

    Agreed. Any fixture that allows you to select "how hot", has a mixer in it. Basically a bleed from hot side to cold side. One of them, is stuck open. Easy way to test your water heater, is open the purge drain at the bottom and see how hot the water is, coming right out of the tank (you should...

    'Bidness' news channel says the majority is now mortgage free.....

    No...I was stupid. I "consolidated" debt, so SHE could be debt-free, and WE would "share" the payments. Young, stupid, and in love. Fat lotta good that did me.

    'Bidness' news channel says the majority is now mortgage free.....

    I did a HELOC when I got married. Biggest mistake of my life (take your pick). I was in great shape on my house, then I married her...and (being a good husband with no debt other than my mortgage) I took the HELOC to pay off her cards. And her car payment. And her student loans. "We" wanted to...

    'Bidness' news channel says the majority is now mortgage free.....

    I have a mortgage on my primary residence. Bought it 12 years ago, 4.0%. Owe right around $200k; current zillow is $585k. The mortgage was just sold and I keep getting mailers (2 or 3 a month) from the new company, trying to snag me in a HELOC - I bet they want that, my rate is so low right now...

    Gathering spares, just in case....

    The late '70 tailights are the only ones that had any reflectors at all. The overall pattern of the lens reflected a little light...but not a lot. The reflectors were added, along with the larger side markers, due to DOT regs for '70. I contemplate spares as well - grille, bumpers...

    Where did you and your car go today

    Put the bike rack on the Jeep TJ, and went to Gettysburg to get some exercise. 8.5 miles on the mountain bike, good cardio workout. On the way home I saw something, so I went home, grabbed the Charger, and went to check it out. Another very cool survivor! And the interior was SPOTLESS No...

    Burned out (NOT burn out) Superbird at IAAI (For auction, not mine)

    Read the ad folks. The VIN is right there. Some cretin may have written that on the glass because it isn't a 17 digit like current vehicles. Or, the dash plate may have been destroyed in the fire. But, it's somewhere on the car, since they have it in the ad.... Be a great roadkill car. Make...

    Fred Rides to the Rescue of One of Our Late-Models Again - But this time, I didn't figure out what's wrong

    But if the gauge has a different sender than the ECM.....you aren't seeing the right data stream.

    Fred Rides to the Rescue of One of Our Late-Models Again - But this time, I didn't figure out what's wrong

    Do you have a good obdII scanner that lets you look at data? See if you can see the engine temp reference change as the car warms up...

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Guinness and harp is a half-n-half. Guinness and BASS, is a black-n-tan.

    Wendy’s planning Uber-style ‘surge pricing’ where burger prices fluctuate based on demand

    About the only fast food we do anymore, is an occasional trip to Chick-fil-a. Groceries are expensive enough, no sense spending even MORE, for crappier food. Neither of us is a soda drinker, either, so that's not even a selling point for a "trip out". I used to like Five Guys (one trick was...

    Human Metapneumovirus PSA

    I'm also a pureblood. However, I have heard the jab does contribute to immune deficiency - of course, if you "fact check" it, it all comes back FALSE, but there is, IMO, enough evidence showing the jab does compromise the effectiveness of your immune system against certain illnesses. It alters...
