Glad you are ok. I do a lot of metal repairs, and my first recommendation is never buy a grinder that doesn't have a trigger style switch. The one with the on/off switch won't turn off, unless you turn it off. Trigger style turns off as soon as you let go.

Look in the bore of the new master cylinder. There should be a groove for the little rubber retainer to lock into. Bench bleed the master cylinder. They sell kits cheap at the auto parts store. Mount the master, line up the push rod, and just step on the pedal to lock the rod into the bore. You...

In regards to helping people with a jump start, my Dad had a problem, and needed a jump. My Dad's car had an electrical issue, and it burned up my wiring. After that, I prefer not to use jumper cables. Now, I sure that I will get some flak, but, I bought a Harbor freight jump box, and it...

First, a big thank you to those who replied. Second, the problem turned out to be the choke wire slipped off the terminal, and was grounding out. I went through everything and made sure it was all good. Oddly, the first ballast resistor didn't fail. But I am going to get a couple spares.

Thanks, very helpful

Thanks, I will check that. Will an ECU still start the car if it is defective? Because whatever is wrong, the car ran for about 20 seconds each time, and then shut off, but the ballast didn't stop being red hot, and smoking, until I disconnected the battery.

I haven't started looking yet. I had to winch it back into the garage. After that, I left it for when I have some idea where to start. I know hot is normal, but I question is red hot, and smoking normal?

Ok guys, I built my 69 Dart over 10 years ago. 340 swinger. It has run flawlessly the whole time. When I built the car, I installed a electronic ignition kit from Direct Connection. I think the kit was from the 80's. So, it has a single ballast. I went to drive it today, after sitting for a...

Maybe use pop rivets in the more solid areas, and yellow weatherstrip adhesive.

I went with manifolds, and a TTI 2.5 inch exhaust. The fit on the driver's side is tight, but doesn't hit. I did need to cut a 5/8 wrench to tighten the bolts. The other concern is sound. Smaller pipes IMO sound like pea shooters.

Maybe so, but due to some of the comments here, not everyone knows.

An episode of Engine Masters shows that an engine does not need backpressure. Check it out on YouTube.

I second talking to Dr Diff. Good guy, very smart.

I was doing my inner door panels on my F100 ( they are steel). I tried the HF Contour stripper, and it's heavy for older people. I went back to my DA. It was faster. I haven't tried it on any large surfaces.
