    cheap headlights

    stay away from the APC crap. it's utterly junk. i just bought a set. those other 2 wires on it are for a little light bulb inside of the f**** thing just another way to get dirt and moisture in it and they serve no purpose other than Bling. the retaining clip don't hold in the element. i had to...

    Who has a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy XE250H Cam

    a smaller cam dosent always mean better gas milage. in my falcon i had a 289 with ported heads and a crane 270 grind in it. in town it got about 14 mpg town and 21 on the highway with an auto. i blew it up(!$%#@$&) and decided i didnt need power for a cruiser and built a 302 with the same heads...

    66 Mustang Warning Ticket From DMV..rear quarters rotted

    a dmv like that really pisses me off. hell my falcon has drain holes all over from the factory including quarter drains. go take a ride over to minniapolis once, with all the chemicals they put on the road in the winter it takes only 2 years to rot out new car.

    towing question

    its got nothing to do with poping into gear. it can flat out ruin a tranny. in a manual transmission the main shaft is above the oil and when you ar in neutral and the input shaft is't spinning no gears are moving. just the main shaft spinning inside the gears and on the bearings with NO FLUID...

    Synthetic lube in rearend okay?

    this is an observation not a lab test or an unfounded opinion. ive seen alot of fuller road ranger transmisions that have had bearing and synchro failures before 150,000 miles(about 1-2 years of operation for over the road. these are trucks now not cars)which are factory filled with...

    Synthetic lube in rearend okay?

    personally and professionallyi dislike synthetic gearlube. i am a truck mechanic and it seems that 80% of all premature failures ive seen in trannies and rearends that wernt low or out of oil had sythetic in them. but i can see that it is more slippery because the gears always look good for the...

    Problems with starter

    i completely disagree. different size ring gears require different size bellhousings and backing plates(starter bolt holes are moved). different starters for different ring gears are the way chevy does it since the starter is bolted to the engine. ford has 3 different starter nose cones for...

    Coolant leaking out of valve cover hole?

    only 2 places for gas to get into the oil. 1. bad fuel pump, it can leak by the diagphram and into the oil. 2.past the rings, if your needle and seat sticks or blown out power valve gas will trickle down the intake onto the pistons and past the rings.
