    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.

    Upholstery

    I never did a Mopar seat, but waaaay back when I worked on old (64 1/2 - 73) Mustangs, I found that the job went easier if I could do them outside in a warm sun. Much more workable.

    Barely 2 month old mufflers, cracked through

    Cragar refunded my entire purchase price for four wheels. (Smoothies), because they rusted. I give them credit for that. I didn't think they would, but I didn't know until I tried.

    Incessant Beeping!

    For years I have said that I don't need the microwave oven to beep when I push a button, when it's done, or WHENEVER! I know it's done; it shut off! Recently, I mentioned this to a friend of my step-daughter, and she said to google the brand and model number, and I'll find a Youtube video (in...

    Street Freaks, Customs, Rods, Street Machines...60's 70's 80's

    I had a friend who put a 327 in a '73. He was like you, could put a JY rear in it with his eyes closed. He eventually put a 12 bolt in it, and then it would rip the suspension arm mounts from the body. So, he put a rear sub frame in it. It held up, but it weighed more than his brother's '68...

    Sounds like new drag racing, donut circuses fines going up.

    It wouldn't hurt if Krasner, Philliy's Soros appointed DA, would allow the cops to do something. They can't even pull over a car with lights out, or no license plate. Nor do they want to. They get released and continue on. Why should a cop go out on the line, when the system doesn't cooperate?

    Is the item in this picture that's entitled "ring", available new somewhere?

    So what's the deal? Which carb is the right one?

    Cruiser, with all respect, I wouldn't worry about what is right. I'd just make it it run good. Those mid 70's cars were terrible. Make it run like a 60's- early 70's car and enjoy the fact that you made it run properly. Also, I haven't read any of your previous posts. I hope I'm in proper...

    When Can It Be Waxed?

    I just want to update: It took a while for our schedules to jive up, but he just fixed it, as he said he would. He said it was the clear coat sinking; something about curing at a different rate than the base? He can be difficult to follow, and interrupts constantly, while talking fast. It's...

    Street Freaks, Customs, Rods, Street Machines...60's 70's 80's

    Back when cars were simple. I just learned that our Accord has an engine mount that has a fluid in it and it's vicosity is controlled my electro-magnets (I think?) to stop engine vibration! Holy Complications, Batman!

    LED vs Incandescant

    Thank you. Nothing you said there that wasn't said when I was racing. And that's exactly what I wanted to hear! I'm still not sure I'm going to do it, but since I do the test n tune thing, I may as well. From what I understand, bracket racing is not as common as it once was. I go to Cecil...

    LED vs Incandescant

    I haven't raced competitively since christmas trees had incandescent bulbs. I used to be able to see the light coming on, being on, and going out, as lots of racers did. Always foot braked, .500 tree. One car ran mid 14's, the other 11.60's. This was in the 80's and 90's. Since then, I have...

    Let’s talk CB radios

    Wellllll maybe. I drove a truck for 13 years. I couldn't tell you anything about cb's. I had a cheap one just to talk with co-workers.

    Street Freaks, Customs, Rods, Street Machines...60's 70's 80's

    You've outdone yourself, @66340SEDAN! I'll "like" them all when I get more time. Imagine being able to buy an A12 RR brand new! I had a friend (RIP Ted) who did just that. He got a Kelly Green (4 spd) one for $2995, because the dealer couldn't sell it!

    I go in for tire repair and the man asks about my windshield wipers....?

    I'm a LOT more likely to frequent a business that isn't obviously just trying to sell me something, and treats me like I have a brain. The local auto parts store was like that. Before I moved here, I was visiting and as I was heading home, the alternator went south. They opened their doors...

    Holley Air Horn Question

    Post #18 is blatant promotion of the link the poster provided. I don't know FABO's policy regaerding this, but it seems something should be done.

    Lightweight front bumper brackets

    It used to be that brackets like that were illegal in Stock. I know tech inspections are few and far between anymore. Has your friend's car ever been teched with those brackets? Stock used to have to be stock, but things have changed.

    When Can It Be Waxed?

    So if paint takes all this time to cure, how does the factory do it? I don't remember hearing not to wax a new car.
