    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Just an fyi,you can use the ported constant vacuum source on the carb for the vacuum advance if you want. It does not work as well on cars with power brakes, best on manual brake cars. During hard stops can kill the car . In fact late 50's to early 60's cars came like this from the factory

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    My 2 cents..... Had quite a few customers with them. They suck, they're noisy and dont pull as much vacuum as you would like. I installed only one, and never again. Go hydroboost and don't look back....

    Car Show vent

    I do agree with alot of statements here. I myself go to shows to get trophies truly only for biz purposes, since this is what I do for work...but I have seen time and time again, the wrong people judging... Even Mopar shows where a club puts it on and "members" win when its obvious their car...

    I Think I Did The Right Thing......

    Of course you did the right thing...you offered assistance. Try and talk to the parents to be involved in responsible pet owning. Some place do offer free rabies vaccinations. May need to check into that.

    You gotta love peoples "car knowledge"

    I have realized just how out of hand this thread has gotten due to ignorance and stubbornness...I apologize if I was included in all of this. I also realized how narrow minded and pig headed some are on here. I happen to work on every brand of american car that exists and always will...

    well I will say that I KNOW that chevy never made a BB 400. I only stated that the emblems on a truck I have here say 400, yet its a factory 402 BB truck....that's all. I know a bit about alot of manufacturers....I work on ALL of them... wow guys, didn't know I hit a sore spot..

    You gotta love peoples "car knowledge"

    I know about the 400 small block, but they did make the 402, like Toolman said. I have one sitting in my shop ready to go into a 72 c10 shortbed factory 402 truck that has "400" emblems on it from the factory.

    Asking the kids at Kragen/Oreilly's for either a water pump or upper rad hose for a 62 corvair.....love the reaction. Seriously, my parts guys rule. I can call up and ask for all 3 oil filter sizes in Wix for a mopar engine and I get" I'll send them over". I love the "That's a pretty...

    You gotta love peoples "car knowledge"

    THe part about being a mechanic that I love the most is the diagnosis I get when a car is dropped off... "I think it's just a wire"......little do they realize they have had a friend wre in the stereo and put a ground to a hot...lol or...... "I think it just needs a tuneup"...it was ran...

    IT guys, please help. Somehow I cought a virus

    As I stated, look into what I said to do. I also could not go into System restore, could not look into my msconfig, nor would it allow me past my control panel. These viruses know AVG and can even get past their latest updates. Also go to Microsoft and look into the MATS( Microsoft Automated...

    IT guys, please help. Somehow I cought a virus

    Good call about safe mode, Daredevil. Do it in safe mode with networking. Also after all is said and done, install Mozilla Firefox so you have backup internet access.

    IT guys, please help. Somehow I cought a virus

    Check in your Internet Explorer tools, go to internet options, click on the connections tab, then click LAN settings and see if the malware set your computer to proxy settings. It did it to mine. If so, unclick it. Try again. Then download malwarebytes, better than AVG. It went right past...

    Your opinions on good dog breeds please

    I'll second the pitbull for a great companion....I have 2 right now, and they come to work with me every day....1 is 90 lbs, the other is 50 lbs. Great disposition, very loyal, love people, and good security too. Forget the hype in the media, they only show the owners and dogs that flush its...

    GM. Wow....

    Good Job Ramenth! I do agree about the honesty....it's the only way to do it. My customers are the same way, only I touch their cars. I sometimes overexplain to them so they can understand especially when I do a diagnosis but no the repair, and I still give them a bill. I walk them thru it...

    I have a problem ...

    Leanna, glad you brought this to the table. Small business owners always need to address this, and it can be a touchy subject to bring up. Some large jobs I require a large deposit, some smaller jobs I require 100% deposit on parts, and 50% deposit on labor.

    What kind of food is this?

    Obviously, the food choice of the wedding is pretty is not the greatest. They could have given 4-5 choices as well as being more mainstream about it instead of trying to be overly fancy. One thing I did notice is that most posters are so narrow minded in their food selection. I bet that most...

    Advice needed on P/Poor Auto Repair Shop

    I totally agree. That is why I started my shop. I try to be sure I know as much as I can about a customers car. I educate myself and my employee about everything I can as often as I can. Alot of shops around here can build a fast car, but not restore an original car or build a car...

    Advice needed on P/Poor Auto Repair Shop

    Well, I feel your pain. As a present classic car shop owner, and as stated earlier, things can come up. But delivering a trans that has a leak as well as not being adjusted properly, and an engine that has a bunch of coolant in the crankcase, is just plain wrong. Sometimes projects do get...

    What kind of food is this?

    Wow...sounds like most people cant see beyond meat/potatoes/pepperoni pizza. You'd be amazed on what food can taste good if cooked right.....yes even tofu. At least eating healthy doesn't come with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, constipation, and much more....
