The replacement fuse seems a little high in value- unless it was one of those "1 fuse does everything" type set-ups- I seem to remember that was...
I imported a car from the U.S. and it had "Allstates" -or something similar- whitewall tyres on it. Would they have been from one of those...
How far does it creep up? Does it just go up and stop? or keep going up? You might not have to do anything, you really need to get some...
I take it that "lab metal" is an epoxy glue? Most epoxies will soften at around 90 degrees C. How about drilling out the pits, refinishing the...
I was missing a similar spring on a Caddy, couldn't find anything even close, so I epoxied a magnet to the inside of the door in the right spot,...
An LED has a limiting resistor in series with it, otherwise it is basically a short circuit which will glow very brightly for a second and then...
When something happens now, instead of helping, it's people filming. I feel like smacking that stupid phone out of their hand (the further the...
At a show I installed my spare electric fuel pump temporarily to get someone home, helped a fella with a jammed hood ( wouldn't close and blocked...
Lots of clips on Youtube on do-it-yourself wheel alignment. I have been doing my own for a few years now, as most "wheel alignment" shops here...
"Refer to workshop manual"- The more times you read it, the more you realize you understand what they are talking about, after working on cars for...
I have played with a few of these assisted ram systems, and I would go with Lostone's suggestion above. If you can get equal travel with the ram...
They even ran a few here in Australia. I had recently finished my car and entered it, it was a good to see a variety of cars. There was also a...
When a non-car person asks about what engine your car has, and you tell them it's from a different make or model, and then you tell them what the...
When you plan a vacation and you have to visit some "special places", maybe by yourself, and they have nothing to do with T&A!

That would be the only way I could get to 100 knots in my car- just by facing it into a cyclone!
Remove the switch and let it hang by the wires. If it works again as normal, you have an internal ground to the case. Being a Ford you may find...
You can drive it through a VFD (variable frequency drive) and then set the frequency to get a slower speed. They are available cheaply on the...
Are you sure that the person named is actually the one who ripped you off? If I was a crook and got caught with my hands in the till I would say...
Being a Ford, many others may be the same (T-bird, Mainline, Mercury, etc.)
The problem is not what you can or can't see, I have found that it's the positions that the factory-supplied arms will fit are not very good.. I...

Just did the same on my bandsaw, but used a Variac (Auto transformer), and a rectifier to be able to vary the speed. Those treadmills are a good...
Try the local rubber supplies (U.E.S.), they have branches in most states. They have the black PVC? type, it hangs in there well.
The Chrysler Royal was made here from a bunch of leftover U.S. Dodge, Desoto and Plymouth bits. My first car when I was 16! 313 V8, push-button...

I have used the aluminum foil trick, but used Coke (the black one) and it took the rust off and left a dull grey coating. This, and oil stain...
