    Under dash electrical fire

    I had an electrical fire in the dashboard harness in May. I was lucky enough to get the positive battery cable off before the car burned up. (Lesson to all of you who wrench on the battery terminals - keep the positive one loose enough to remove by hand.) I saw the wire harness arc over to...

    How much did a gallon of gas cost when you first started driving?

    $0.53 for me in 1974. But then adjusted for inflation, it is $3.20 today. 1974 Gas Price in Today's Dollars

    What pistol grip shifter to buy for a 1965 Barracuda?

    I’ve seen many threads on this but not a common answer. One was part number 5388580 from Hurst, but they don’t seem to be available at this time. Should I wait for it to come back into stock or go with something that gives a better fit? Brewer’s site says it is out of stock too. Brewer's...

    Ford Escape - replace degas bottle to thermostat housing hose assembly?

    My wife’s 2104 Escape went to the dealer for two recalls. They called to say that the car should get $600 replacement of its degas bottle to hose thermostat housing hose assembly. It has a 2.0 twin turbo engine. I DuckDuckGo-ed this and came up with nothing but a bunch of generic different...

    Who’s got a tractor or backhoe?

    What did you get? Why? What do you do with it? What attachments do you have? I bought a Kubota BX23S backhoe in 2018, because I always wanted a backhoe. This backhoe is small enough to easily trailer on my utility/car trailer. I knew that I would use it to take care of my 2.6 acres and 600...

    New starter won’t fit due to headers

    I have a slow cranking when hot issue, so I figured I would just change the starter with a new one. The original one looked old and maybe it was tired. I ordered a new mini starter and found that it is not even close to fitting. I thought the original started was a mini too, but it looks...

    Who makes their own Christmas card?

    I’ve been into photography since the 4th grade (1966). A bunch of years ago, I decided that just taking the photos, without sharing the memories with friends and family was just not very rewarding. I use photos that I took during each year and make a montage of them. We send them out as our...

    Who saw a UFO?

    Ok. This evening, I was relaxing in my pool, looking up in the sky, when I saw an airplane flying about 35 to 40 K in the sky, with a bright white dot following it about a few hundred feet behind it. The white dot slowed down and the gap between it and the plane got larger and larger. Then the...

    Experience with Auto Lift FP8K-DX-XLT 4 post lift?

    Looking at buying a new 4 post lift. It comes with casters so it can be moved around. The dealer says it is comparable with a Nationwide unit (same price). I saw a “made in the USA” decal on the Auto Lift unit, so I would prefer to buy from USA manufacturer. I will use it to store my 1968...

    For B Bodies Only website hacked again?

    Since yesterday evening, I am being redirected to a “Congratulations, you’ve been selected...” website after being on a page for a few minutes. I am using an iPad to view the site, and I thought that would prevent this kind of misdirection. FABO is working fine though. Does anyone know why...

    For sale ‘67 Notch Barracuda $20K - not mine - NJ

    Not mine, but if you enlarge a couple of the photos, I think the seller’s phone number 609-479-6509. His name is Roger. I saw it on the side of the road today. Sign says 440 auto with 3.91 rear, so you know that it isn’t original. I saw no bubbles anywhere under the paint, but it does have...

    Vince Papale!

    We met Mr. Vince Papale today (thanks to Fratzog Lover!!!). What an awesome and down to earth man. The movie Invincible was based on him joining the Eagles. It was a very nice movie, but Vince was super to meet in person (I’m not even a pro-football fan). My wife was so awestruck that she...
