Tell me you've never worked on a Ford, by not telling me you've never worked on a Ford.:D The uncommon Fox/SN95 chassis used the 'U'...
Skimmed through the thread again. Olds engines often used a back pressure activated EGR valve. If original AC Delco valve there would be an...
In the 80's Ford hung a mass damper off the front of 7.5" diffs in Fairmonts/Zephyrs. These cars were mostly peashooter/AT cars. Earlier 78/79 V8s...
As much as I try to live(die?) by this, there are just lazy mistakes that take me out of a movie/show. In Iron Giant, the junkyard has a wrecked...
It makes install easier. But you will want to be able to set the parking brake when torquing down the bolts to the yoke.
This. Hard lesson learned a few years back was the local PDs of neighboring cities didn't communicate. A car could be stolen in Berkeley and be...
FWIW Poly does not do well under shock loads. Any kind of drag race type hard launches in an M/T car will destroy the bushings in short order....
Bu...bu...but it is Jim. :p:D Would love to see pics of a Rocket in a Hawk. When picking up a 348 decades ago there was also a Hawk for sale...
Is this common or an early 283 spacer for when Chevy ditched the oil slinger? Or is this used when the Corvette mount and spacer is not used in a...
I.D. of the hub looks a little gunked up. Have you tried cleaning it up with a Scotch Brite pad to remove any paint/crust/junk? Combined with too...
FWIW As posted by Johnny Gee, this disc/drum MC was used in most GM cars/light trucks from '69- ~'80 that used disc front brakes. This MC was then...
That sounds like an '86 engine. Verify part numbers as '86 is the oddball amongst the H.O. 5.0.'s., intake manifold uses a smaller plenum as well....
Polyurethane bushings are not indestructable and are vulnerable to road crud, chemicals, and U.V. just like rubber. When it comes to sway bar...
If you are at any decent hotel the concierge should be able to find out for you. There is usually some kind of imprompt car gathering in and...
Easy button, Buick 350? 3.800" bore has some folk turn their nose up at it, but that also gives you lots of piston choices. And if you ever want...
'78 Corvette? Putting a flathead in it, I wouldn't call it a downgrade :p
HAH! Hopefully indeed. Somehow I get caught up in these projects that have overly enthusiastic, under performing, bizzare idea'd, lofty goaled,...
If the wipers are cycling after using the stalk its most likely the stalk and not the board. You should feel a click, if the stalk switches just...
Ford OD'd the C6 back in '90 which is known as the E4OD. With diesel popularity the E4OD needed further updating and was relabeled 4R100. These...
Meh, a rollerized C6 can have less drag than a C4.
Check with LaSalle guys, pretty sure they used the Oldd 240ci I8.
As Jim stated, pull it straight out. But before you get too ahead of yourself, tie a string to the wire connector at the base of the column so you...
Oldsmobile L35-L36 405891 240ci I8 head. Found in the '32-'38 Olds L-series.
Looks to be inline for the rear brakes, most likely some kind of proportional valve. No. This is a false statement. Plenty of disc/drum and...
If the Kanter MC does have a residual valve, that will need to be removed, but a residual valve for the rear brakes may need to be installed at...
Look like 4pot calipers, 8 pistons total. Each piston seal will try to roll back and return the pistons. If there is a residual valve the seals...
Does the Kanter MC have residual pressure valve in it? Caliper pistons only have square seals to aid in returning to at rest state. No return...
As Steve mentioned, it's just a vent. Underhood temps change from freezing to oven hot. Condensation happens, components need to be allowed to...
Ostensibly, the PCM that came with it. Ideally you would have the original dash(gauge cluster), ignition switch assembly and keys. This would...
