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

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.

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.

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...

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...

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?

Thank you both. I figured someone must have it.

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

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...

MPH numbers were a bit optimistic. lol

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...

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!

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...

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...

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.
