    Carb problems

    I noticed that my PCV valve had no suction so I pulled the hose from the carb and found the port was completely blocked. I then removed the carb and cleaned the port out however during the inspection I cannot determine where the vacuum comes from. There is no port in the manifold that matches...

    Nice car

    Looked at this one today. It’s a 91 stealth with extremely low miles on it, I believe it’s approximately 14k kilometres. Hasn’t been run in several years and needs to be gone through prior to starting it. My son wanted to purchase it but the owner won’t sell. It’s a highly optioned twin turbo...

    Unfortunate mishap

    While driving down the highway yesterday I met a semi with a wide load. While giving a wide berth I didn’t notice a big pothole on the edge of the road. Hit it at full speed and thought I blew a tire. The impact was hard enough to knock my hubcap off. Anyways as you can see it broke one of the...

    Hit a milestone yesterday

    I hit a milestone yesterday that is quite important to me. Over the last several years I have had some setbacks and I now seem to be over them. It started with my right shoulder which had kept me in extreme pain for 8yrs. They did a total replacement on it and that took care of that. Then I...

    New set of wheels

    Came across this truck and had to buy it. It’s a 2015 GMC 1500 Sierra Z71 4wd truck. The best part it has only 54000km or just over 33000m. The truck was part of an estate sale and the PO was in his late 80’s prior to his passing. The unfortunate part is he shouldn’t have been driving anymore...

    Photo Shoot

    We attended a wedding today and part of the planning was to do a photo shoot at the limestone quarry. We spent many days prepping a site but it turned out great. I took the opportunity to do a photo shoot of my car and am quite pleased. After I finished the wedding party showed up and used my...

    Something different

    Thought this was interesting. We had a caravan of Airstream trailers pull into the campground in town. Not sure why they stopped here but I was pleased they did. At this time I counted 16 trailers but more could be coming. I think it’s a club out of North Dakota.

    Sad sight

    Just saw this on its way to the crusher. Would have been a good parts car but they did a lot of damage loading them. Even the AMC’s would have been interesting.

    Perfect day

    Today was a perfect day. Jumped in the convertible this morning with the wife and went off to a Mopar sponsored event. Temps were running around 31c or just around 90f but high humidity and next to no wind. Dropped the top and off we went. Attended the show and kept moving by driving north along...

    Parade Day

    We went to the annual Fraserwood parade and picnic today. Drove the convertible in the parade and to my surprise was joined by quite a few other old cars. This is truly the definition of a one horse town (my cousin has the horse) so it’s amazing that they host such a good event every year. We...

    Scuff in windshields

    I have a scuff in my windshield, it’s a scuff mark and not a scratch. It’s been there since new and must have happened in the shipping of it. What I was wondering is have anyone here tried to remove something like this and were you successful. There are plenty of ideas out there on how to polish...

    Dash voltage regulator

    Had to replace my dash voltage regulator on the weekend. This has been hashed over many times but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to show newbies what can be done. Some models of C bodies were built with a dash voltage regulator that would control the fuel gauge and temp gauges. In the case of my 66...

    Snagged this for the grandkids

    I know it’s not a C body but I snagged this 02 Sunbird for my granddaughters the other day. It has 142k on it and is in great shape. Picked it up from a cousin for a grand total of nothing. Drove it home after sitting for at least 4 years without issue. Needs brakes, rocker panels and a...

    Winnipeg swap meet and show & shine

    Took my granddaughter to the local swap meet today. They also have a show&shine coincide with it. The good news is that the event is about twice the size from the last one we attended however not much in the way of C body stuff but it was definitely worth going to. The show&shine has a high...

    First car show

    Well we made it back from Mexico on Friday and the first thing our granddaughter did was drag us off to World of Wheels today. Pretty good show and I took some pics of our favourites. Hers is the Mini because she said it fits her. Mine is the Imperial and then the Monaco.

    Negative ground vs positive ground discussion

    I decided to open a discussion regarding what really is the best method of grounding either positive or negative or is there a difference in the end. Generally in North America we utilize negative ground although there was some early designs incorporating positive ground. In Europe they have...

    65 & 66 Fury’s

    Since I joined and have followed this forum I have noticed a significant increase in members owing and or restoring 65 & 66 Fury’s. I was just wondering if there is anyway to identify how many of us there are on this forum and maybe get people to post pics of these cars. I feel that these cars...
