Well, yeah, fair. My point is that the current-production pumps for Slant-6s are improperly-built garbage. This would be a better pick. Budgets are budgets, and dollars that don't exist don't exist, but "cheapy" and "fuel delivery system" can easily add up to "suddenly hideously expensive".

Well…yeah, you could shove a cork in the tailpipe and kindasorta stop the exhaust smoke, or you could fix the actual problem: it's time for a fuel pump built to correct specifications.

Here's the TSB on servicing the Motorola transistor ignition factory-available to fleets on the '66 models.

One doesn't follow from the other. You can keep or delete the EGR as you wish, regardless of your evap setup (vapor can/purge valve/etc).

Oh, it was! For a short time, for a few already-wealthy people.

You laugh, but consider the Chinese car brand Chery. Three guesses why they made up that name, and the first two don't count. See also: "Haier" Chinese appliances, which suck out loud. Even their name is a cheap knockoff of the second half of Liebherr, a legitimate company with a history of...

The entire point of SEMA is to boost the sales of whoever pays to be a SEMA member. That's what these bogus little 'awards' of theirs are designed to do. It's a circle-jerk for marketing purposes, is all.

Read this book. I did, and it managed to lower my already-thought-it-couldn't-be-any-lower opinion of the lavishly subsidized sewer that is Chinese industry and its American enablers. Lowering that particular opinion of mine is a neat trick, because I have direct experience with that festering...

Anyone else notice something weird and incongruous (to North American eyes) about these chases in a 1973 movie? Everyone's buckled in! They're all wearing seatbelts!

It can provide plenty of both. Welcome here. That Hydro guy sounds like an obnoxious, thoughtless dillweed; good job getting the car away from him.

'70 turn signal switches are one-year-only, and they're not available as aftermarket parts. The '71-up switch works in a '70 car, but has a differently-shaped hazard flasher knob. If you're talking about a smaller cam on your old switch, that sounds more like a '69-down switch. Oldkimmer's got...
