I have NEVER seen B or C, or even R or M with 4 lugs...unless somebody didn't know about the Left handed threads on the left side. Despite the clearly stamped capitol L on the lug. My Dad used to paint the L white and the lug end red on our cars AND paint the information on the insides of the...

As I read through all this I had a inkling there was more to the story. You sly old dog! I just want to say that regardless of age, none of us, NONE, are IMMUNE TO BEING STUPID. I had this pointed out to my wife and I and when we went out on an interstate trip, no tools, in a beater van, to...

Well said! The last fuel pump I did I put gasket goo on one side of the gasket. My son gave me a funny look and asked if I knew there was a peel off protective strip? I guess he was watching all those years.

I have worked quality control for a U.S.A. manufacturer. Many of the parts I inspected were for oem assembly from Mexico. Roughly 1/3 of the new electric motors would fail. Other inspectors would wiggle around so that a different section of the commutater would make contact with the brushes...

Kind of like somebody from P.E.T.A. I saw on the news the other night. The man and woman were both wearing leather hiking boots. She had a leather purse or satchel and leather dress gloves. He had a leather belt. I rather doubt the cow gave up its hide willingly. Cheap parts may be made in...

All else fails check the manual.

Yeah, I had the same thing. I started to get a stumble, then after going over some railroad tracks, it died out for a second . Then boom! At the time a Sheriff car was right next to me. The lights came on and I thought I was done for. He walks up and said Good afternoon sir, may I see your...

I agree with most of these, it may be kind of hard to find a good guy to recurve a distributor these days. The carb if you drop to 650 cfm will liven up throttle response. The 750 is a good choice but the kickdown on the 650 gives a better response in my experience. It is hard not to end...

Spool on the street even with limited use is bad news. Yes it can be done, just like a hotel room lobotomy, but it isn't a good idea. Where the idea that 275's are too wide for a limited slip differential is blowing my mind. The only real thing that comes to mind: HE DRIVES A CHEVY or even...

or supernumerary.

I love the quote. So very true. Never try to outthink a fool, they are usually a true genius.

For what is a starter, but to start a car. Could do a whole parody poem...

That engine bay looks a little empty. Maybe a procharger would take up some space.

I'd like to hear the story of the nylons! They were always a pain to remove. Sorry, my minds always in the gutter.

Muscle Motors closed the shop down in Lansing, Mi.. I'm not sure if they retired or what, but they left a gap for mid-michigan mopar fans.
