Fram pcv valves start with "FV" as a prefix. "PF" is an A/C Delco oil filter prefix. The early, screw-in pcv valve was in Fram, I believe, an...
Man... I had a shirt just like your dad's wearing. I thought I looked pretty cool in it.......
Why do you think they call it "dope"?
He's hard at work on the new magazine. Anyone have any article requests? Is there an interesting Hamber out here that you want to nominate for...
Try pulling your sparkplug wires one at a time and see which one lessens the noise, when removed. That's the cylinder you need to look at. If...
T-Bird Sanctuary- talk to Bob (the owner). Anything you need, he has.
You said: "The radiator has a small leak which is just seeping so I just pulled it out and will bring it to a radiator shop for a flush and...
Now THAT"S a helluva 1st post!
9 months, full-time for the T-Bird. However, noone in their right mind would ever admit a project is "finished".....that way, the wife can't tell...
All inspections are visual. There may be unseen, underlying issues for which we are not responsible.
What color is the smoke? Does it stop after it warms up? Does it smoke at idle and on the road?

I'll try that first. Thanks!
I wish...this is an odd one, off a Sport Roadster. :mad:
I need to get an outside mirror chromed and need to remove the glass first (62 T-Bird). I imagine it is glued into place and was thinking of a...
It's gotta be "rust in the usual places"......
I have lingering farts older than you. Happy Birthday, anyway.
Think about this, fool who tries to repair rust with JB Weld..... Vic Edelbrock was my uncle. He loved lasagna with sliced, hard-boiled eggs on...
No, dipshit. I said it like a 51 year old man who has been feeding his family with what he knows about cars for 35 years. They're all well...
Whatever. Silicone is like a girls' boobs. Of course, many HAMBERS have never felt those, but consider 14 lbs of exhaust pressure,...

But, to extend the olive branch...you, in a "western New England" sort of way, have a point. Remember, 10% of Americans are unemployed, many...
It's rear brakes on a 1940's car. Ever work on rear brakes on a '40's car? If you can figure out whether you should stand or sit whilst relieving...
