    Almost as entertaining as a boat ramp.

    I learned how to back trailers even just with mirrors by 10 years old, so it’s funny watching people that can’t try over and over without learning anything from the last fail. They just keep doing the same thing over and over and over. I watch those. Mostly just to see how bad some of them...

    Almost as entertaining as a boat ramp.

    Sitting out front with my after breakfast coffee watching the neighbor down the street make dozens of tries at backing a trailer into his driveway. Cars backed up waiting for him to get out of the way. Could end up being his fourth DUI if the right car comes along. Jees, I need to go find...

    Classic Air Glove Box Fix

    I just recently finished a Classic Auto Air system, and it didn’t come with a glovebox replacement at all. I just needed to trim about 1.5 inches off the lower rear corner of my original plastic box to clear the new under dash unit. The hole gave a place to put the ecu.

    AVS leak

    They normally use 2 part epoxy to seal those plugs. Kind of a common problem really.

    Phoenix area mechanic recommendations

    So here’s where I stand on it after carefully reviewing your posts and pictures. For one, I don’t have a shop or even a garage to put the car and apparent large load of parts. Also I don’t feel I want to deal with, or be responsible for an engine needing a blower, aftermarket fuel system and...

    Phoenix area mechanic recommendations

    All clear now. Just so you know, I would pretty much have to have the car and related parts up here. But I will think about it. Do you know what’s keeping it from running? Oh, I went back to your sale post. “Some assembly required” lol. Yea, that would have to be up here.

    Need Help on Fluid choice

    Kind of a can of worms question, because there’s so many varied opinions. I have to agree with the Lucas if you want a good quality product. For what it’s worth, when I ran older manual transmissions I would customize the fluid mix depending on how the trans reacted. Some work great with 85/90...

    What kind of work do you need done? I’m in Prescott Valley and do Mopar and others.

    Headlight Relay Kits

    I also made my own, but have a relay for each filament. (4 relays) If one relay feeds both low beams and one feeds both hi beams, then the loss of one relay takes out both lights. Didn’t like that idea much. Also all headlights are now 10 ga. wire including the grounds.

    Gets hot and stalls out

    So pour a little fuel down it’s throat and see if it fires off. Nothing about the alternator is going to keep it from running except a dead short, and you would know it if that was the case. You would have an electrical fire.

    Gets hot and stalls out

    Believe it or not the Edelbrock carbs are more prone to heat soak because of where the bowls are.

    Warning about counterfeit parts

    Ok, I see both addresses are apparently the ligit sites for Speedmaster. So Summit Racing is selling Chinese rip offs of a aftermarket parts manufacturer/seller in the US and putting the name of the real company on their parts. Then the real guy is getting support calls about the counterfeit...

    Timing

    It’s common to remove the ONE heavy spring and replace it with the light spring. This brings in the total (without vacuum) to all in about 2,500 rpm or so.

    Warning about counterfeit parts

    I just looked up both domain registration records and they are different. Speedmaster79.com is registered out of Tempe Arizona. Speedmaster.com is registered out of Germany.
