HUH? Where? Except for taking the photo, there is an air cleaner on it all the time.
OK, it hasn't run in 6 months and have cranked 10 seconds three times already and no start. Lack of choke doesn't help.
Sometimes the car sits for months before I run it, and then takes a long time to crank before fuel is pumped from the tank to the fuel bowls. Are...
What industry uses those square beveled washers? Just need one and if I can't find locally, I might as well grind something to fit.
I can imagine them saying, Due to insurance regulations, we cannot allow customers in the shop. I mean, would you want people starring at YOU...
That I could use under this bolt head that rests at an angle to evenly distribute the clamping force? [img]
OK looks like it is a Superior. Found their trademark at: https://www.trademarkia.com/superior-performance-products-s-73097935.html I assume they...
I meant the spokes on this one have 2 hole each. The Superior wheels have at least 3.
Not with 2 hole spokes that I can recall.
14 inch diameter, 3 chrome spokes with only 2 holes each (most have 3), 3 hole mount (most have 5). Has what looks like an "S" logo. [img] [img]
Just a $500 car. Tried Meguiers polish with a machine and it turned the pad black. Will try this transmission fluid trick I first did over 30...
That won't make the car smell like a fuel leak?
Anybody still make something like this: [img]
I have a beater car with metallic paint that has faded so there is no shine left on the horizontal surfaces. The paint itself is fine, no...
I understand that, and why I'll use a cone grinder and test fit every few seconds. And as mentioned this is a $150 truck so third world solutions...
An update, put the drum on backwards and it doesn't seat fully against the axle flange. The center hole is a little too small and it hangs up on a...
China
I'll check tomorrow.
Did a complete rear brake job including a pair of Pronto brake drums. Here are some videos of the problem. Wheel and tire with new brake drum....
About $75 each. Would be about what I paid for the truck. Ain't happening.
'90 Ranger so plenty in junkyard. Got the axles out but the seals wont budge.
I wanted to weld them without removing from the axle, but upon closer inspection, I see almost all 6 pads on both sides are grooved to some extent...
[img] Previous owner knew nothing about replacing brakes as both primary shoes are on one side and secondaries on the other. Now there are deep...
Had two '62s back in the 80's and even then they were pretty much forgotten cars that you didn't see on the road anymore. [img] [img]
The most creative answer so far, just not too practical for more than a few years worth.
Vertically in those magazine boxes? Horizontally on the bookshelf? They aren't high value or collectible issues, just kept for reference and...
Large collection of OCW when stacked in one pile would probably be 15 to 20 feet high. I’m guessing maybe 1000 issues? I see individual issues...
Anyone use this stuff called Lab-Metal: http://www.alvinproducts.com/Products/Products.asp?ID=1 $30 a can.
That is my next choice after reading these comments. Will that hold up immersed in hot oil all the time? What about the porosity repair chemicals...
I bought a mig welder over 5 years and maybe have used it 3 times since for minor mickey mouse repairs on steel. Now I have an aluminum oil pan...
