Here's a couple of manufacturers of embossed and enameled pins and badges. I'm guessing this is similar to what you're looking for. These appear...

Looks like a great article. And Pete Millar was an incredible automotive cartoonist and illustrator! :D

Ahh yes . . . The song of the "Highland Park Hummingbird". :D I'm not sure I could even drive an old Mopar that didn't have the O.E. gear...
Have you recently changed anything in your browser settings that might have caused this behavior? Umm . . . Like Jim suggested just a couple...
The used car managers where I used to work referred to this as a "scuff & squirt", or giving it "a lick and a promise". :p:rolleyes:
Doesn't apply in this case then. But for someone running with points it might still be helpful to keep in mind when your timing seems to retard a...
That's essentially the same process you'd use to adjust timing and idle mixture, but using a vacuum gauge instead of a glass of water. The main...
Remember also that changing the dwell only will affect ignition timing. As points wear in the gap decreases and results in retarded (delayed)...
Thanks for that link. This guy's videos seem to be answering questions I hadn't even thought to ask yet. And the narration is a real human voice...
That struck me too. For the era these cars were built in, I wasn't expecting to see the horses and hand saws and log rolling. Made the Packard...
Do you know how you can tell if a woman is wearing panty hose? When she farts, her ankles swell up. :rolleyes:
Sure, you know it had to be a complicated process. Though this just seems to be over the top. But these are Packards, after all. :D...
The rheostat in a headlamp switch can frequently get fouled with dirt and corrosion. The rheostat and contacts are often visible and easily...
If you need help with identification, it's an ellipsis. I don't know what year it is though. :rolleyes:
Could you adapt something like this? This one does specify for HEI ignition....
Is the crankcase properly vented, or has it maybe been upgraded to a PCV system?
I seem to recall some older shop manuals suggesting denatured alcohol for cleaning wheel and master cylinders. Don't know if this is still...
That little puff of blue smoke may simply be a matter of just needing new intake valve seals. Worse case scenario might be badly worn valve...
Forget the trophies. But I'm curious about what that can of "G-T Auto Ass Tint" was used for! :eek: :D
If you're running dual electric pumps inline, is it possible that the powered pump is seeing a higher load from trying to move fuel through the...
What browser are you using? In Firefox there should be a "History" button to click on in the menu bar at the top of the browser window. It may not...
I seem to recall that Chevys of this era and somewhat newer had different length clutch rods for 6 cyl. and 8 cyl. applications. Some also used a...
It looks to have a pretty long wheelbase in he pic you posted. Is there any indication that the frame has been altered from the stock length?...
And just what are we looking at here? Some kind of a hemi head Pontiac conversion?
Check out the distortion in the quarter panel just above the rear wheel opening. I've heard this referred to as "the Hamtramck Buckle". I think it...
