    Sticking Throwout Bearings

    I'm on my Third Clutch replacement now because of the wear I get on the trans. bearing support sleeve where the throwout bearing slides. The clutches and pressure plates are fine, just the bearing retainer sleeve wears out where the throwout bearing slides. It gets progressively stiffer and...

    WTF made my engine "blow up"???

    Oil & Water mixing = BAD If you mix oil and water, the only way you can do that is blowing a gasket or physically breaking or cracking a head or block. I had a distributor advance spring break once and it put the timing over max. The result was a broken top ring that tilted on edge and the...

    Dumb F'n Driver!!

    30 MPH may seem slow and an agitation in a neighborhood, but it's pretty damn fast when some little kid pops out from behind a car and just freezes up in terror. You do your best slide for life and you're praying that locomotove your riding will come to a stop before you kill your neighbors...

    How Do you Clean Harness Connector plugs?

    I've heard that corrosion on some of the pins in the harness connectors might be the cause of DIS failures. I've damaged two of the modules now so that the Tach. only shows 1/2 the real rpm. Idle is rougher and standing starts seem like the engine timing is retarded. It runs OK when I get it...

    Clutch fork

    Dealer Dummies Somebody's got their head up their poop chute @ the dealer parts counter. the part # is E3ZZ-7515-A and it is $19.83 here in Texas with tax and all. PepBoys or Autozone might be a couple of bucks cheaper and it's probably even made by the same chinaman!

    Thinking of buying late 60's 351W block, need combo suggestions.

    Cleveland Heads ! Unless you can get those Ausie heads for dirt cheap I'd pass on that idea and leave the cleveland stuff for restorers and Panteras ! It's not that they're bad heads, cause they're pretty good. It's just that they're heavy as hell and really expensive for the power you get in...

    IRCM "Black box"

    How far back in year models did they use those? Mine is a 93 and they are pretty rare in the junk yards around here. Any other models use the same box?

    Uh oh, Time for a new Rack&Pinion and PS Pump??

    When you put the new rack/and or pump on, keep the car up on jack stands. Plug the return port on the pump and let the return line hang off over a pan. Put fluid in the pump but don't start it. Slowly turn the steering wheel lock to lock a couple of times and check the fluid level again. A...

    IRCM "Black box"

    I've got a fuel pump relay problem. Some times in the morning I have to whack on the black box on the pass side fender to get the fuel pump to wake up. Today I took it off and opened it up and it looks like the relays are sealed and soldered to the ckt. board inside. I'm thinking I will have to...
