    Getting fed up of high-perf , being happy with less

    I should've said I'm 65. I just missed the original musclecar era., but I've owned my share. I always wanted to build a fast street-strip car. But family responsibilities never allowed a completed project. Now, retired, I have my 11.4X '87 (original owner) Mustang and 11.8X '71 Duster clone...

    Turning torque for engine

    @Slappy told us in the 1st post that he has checked all cooling system stuff, but I agree with all the posts here, there's still something going on. I think an engine would kill itself before any hard-to-turn issues caused overheating. Be happy, Slappy, (See what I did there?) engine issues...

    Turning torque for engine

    This is the thought I had. Do you know the block's history? There has to be quite a few out there with this stuff in them.

    Annoying TV ads part 16

    I have a few. I’m not going to mention them. It gives them what they want: advertising.

    He just runs right over old farm tractor

    That video should be removed. The family doesn’t need that on there. RIP, sir.

    Park

    Even worse was on the TV show, "Starsky and Hutch", you would occasionally see the auto brake pedal, or the column shifter while the sound effects had him rowing a stick. And of course, he was always burning rubber. In a smog motored Torino? I don't think so. I thought the people that produce...

    New Batteries for Worklight

    I bought a new light. https://www.amazon.com/MAFSEUT-Rechargeable-Headlamp-Waterproof-Headlight/dp/B0BX35XX38/?tag=fabo03-20 I've had a couple before. It's just not worth the cost of new batteries. Thanks for teaching me about these rechargeable batteries. I'm sure I'll be able to justify...

    New Batteries for Worklight

    There are several in the 3400 range; some at 5000, But no others until those 9900's. Maybe it's just "optimistic advertising"? Beats me.

    New Batteries for Worklight

    Is 9900 amp/hour believable? Only one I've seen that high. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG1KL3RC/?tag=fabo03-20 In regards to buying a brand name, what's good?

    New Batteries for Worklight

    It has (2) 18650 6800 mah 4.2v batteries in it now. The charge doesn't last long anymore. Searching, I only find numbers lower than 6800, and voltages lower than 4.2. Mostly 3.7. I know nothing about batteries like these, other than the 4.2 is voltage. I think the 18650 is a type, like a...

    Shipping parts- new way to me. Thought I’d share.

    Who ends up doing the actual shipping? UPS, Fed Ex, USPS, or? Whoever does the actual shipping gives pirateship a better rate?

    Ford 4.9 question. Yes ford question

    I have a '95 w/ a 4.9, no air pump, but it has a/c. I have wanted to do this too. My p/s leaks a little, and I'd rather just be rid of it. I think there's a link to a manual box in this link (LMC Truck). The one you found is cheaper, I think. One of my concerns was whether the p/s pitman...

    MoPars Left For Dead

    You could fight that ticket. There's nothing that says which side of the car you can't park on.
