I'm sure that is more than just a visual inspection, can you elaborate? Can I do it by myself, or do I need an extra person?
My '63 F100 has a "78 Ford mostly stock 302. It was running like always, like a champ. Friday after work I noticed it was running at a lower idle...
Thanks, guys. I've never had anything chromed before, so I had no idea.

JB Weld? WTF? He didn't have a real welder?:p
Yeah...pretty disappointed. I've been taking things there for twenty-five years. The only reason I went to the new place, is because they...
Got the starter back...apparently the last people I took it to, to rebuild, didn't rebuild it. They basically just cleaned it, replaced two...
Next time, ask them if they need a quarter or have a cellphone, so they can call someone who gives a shit.

Who makes "unisteer"?
Ok. Lets get it all straight. In my F100, when I step on the gas, it F#@&ING GOES. I feel the transmission going through the gears. This chevy...

Are you running a front sump oil pan?
4Woody, do you have a picture of the adapter? I didn't see anything about a Cavalier on the website.

To the th guys running the cavalier R&P in a Mopar, what tie rod ends did you use?
