    Speedometer quit working

    He is asking if the odometer is digital or analog on the dash when you are looking at it.It is quite common for these to fail as I have found out myself. The gear is cheap that runs the odometer/ speedometer but there is a kit out there with better gears (they are molded instead of being...

    miss on 2 cylinders

    Pulled wires on the cap while running with insulated spark plug wire pullers and listened for the engine to drop power. If no change than theres the dead cylinder.

    miss on 2 cylinders

    I just installed a new 351 in my car and it has a miss in 2 cylinders. I've narrowed it down to #3 and #6 cylinders that are not producing power. It has spark and there is compression at both cylinders but I don't have a gauge to check how much. This guy I work with said I may have a bent...

    wheel bearing issues

    wheel bearing issues

    I've done my homework and checked the haynes manual because there is no cotter pin/castle nut and I want to torque it to spec. The book calls for 221 to 295 ft.lbs. I installed the bearing yesterday and it still clicks when I turn right! I need to source a better bearing I think.

    wheel bearing issues

    I bought hub assemblies from auto zone $50 each. No packing grease necessary as they come sealed. Sounds like planned obsolecence to me as I prefer to pack the bearings myself. Not sure what the torque spec is though.

    wheel bearing issues

    I installed some Weld prostars on my car a few months ago. Since then I have gone through 2 sets of wheel bearings on the front. I must use spacers with the front wheels to clear the brake caliper. The wheels are 15x 8 on the front and I'm not sure about the backspacing (they were on the back...
