mix the Marvel Mystery oil 50/50 with acetone. The acetone will act as a wicking agent and help the Marvel Mystery Oil penetrate further.

I'll second the Detroit Eaton recommendation. They have their act together. They'll build you NEW springs to OEM specs.

Just a start Still works I used this as a kid way back when. Thornton Burgess children's books. All of them. All first printings as well.

Here's a couple photos of the torsion bar anchor I removed from the previously mentioned '72 Dart. This left side anchor was about to twist out and with the heavier torsion bars, it probably would have. I replaced the entire torsion bar cross-member because the right side was starting to go...

What's the other end of the torsion bar look like? Perhaps the rear anchor is rusted completely away from the torsion bar cross-member which is pretty common and why you can buy repair kits for the issue. If the torsion bar is adequately anchored at the rear, it will twist under load and have a...

Tetraethyl lead formed a deposit on the exhaust valve and seat that helped cushion the shock of the valve seating, thus, preventing valve seat recession. When it was outlawed, valve seat recession became a BIG problem and lead substitutes helped but weren't a real cure for the loss of lead in...

First generation Chrysler alternators grounded one brush and mechanically, regulated the voltage to the other brush. Being that they were mechanical, these regulators were adjustable. It's pretty much the same technology used in generator voltage regulators. Bend a tab to increase or decrease...

I used Shell Rotella a few years ago but they dropped the zinc levels was down when the DEF issue hit the roads. I think that was around 200 - 2010) Now, I use Valvoline VR-1 but the viscosity selection on that stuff is limited. I use the 20W-50 but I believe they have a straight 50 as well. I...

The neutral safety switch provides a ground for the starter relay when the transmission is in neutral or park but opens the ground circuit in reverse, drive, 2nd gear and low gear so that the starter motor can't be engaged. In your particular case, there is no park function so the engine will...

Looks like everyday automatic choke fouling from repeatedly starting the engine and letting it idle just to warm it up. Also occurs every time you pull it in and out of the trailer to go to and from a car show. Get it out and run down the street holding a steady 45 mph in second gear for a...

Oh yea, I also own three Mityvac hand pumps but I rarely use them on brake systems. I use them on hvac systems to check out switch integrity and diaphragms looking for vacuum leaks.

Gravity bleeding works ok if the master cylinder is on the firewall. If it's under the floorbaards, good luck with that route so my dad bought a pressure bleeder that I still own. The two person pump and bleed introduces bubbles it the idiot with his foot on the pedal thinks that the faster he...

I took my lock pick and got the tumbler to rotate far enough to allow me to push in the pin and remove the tumbler. I, then, took the tumbler to my locksmith and he cut me a key. If you're not good at picking locks, most locksmiths can do it for you.

The shoes should seat on the pin. Yours aren't and it appears that the parking brake bar is holding the shoe out away from anchor the pin. Your parking brake is adjusted too tight, or maybe the cable is seized. That's causing the leading edge of the front shoe to engage with the drum. As...

I have three of these. On set in my '08 Magnum work vehicle (I re-wire hot rods), another set in my 60" toolbox in my garage and a third pair in my toolbox that I just dragged home from the shop I worked at wiring police, fire and DPW vehicles before I finally retired. They're great for...

worn out starter bearings (oilite bushings)

....and I also have one for my '48 Chrysler seven passenger sedan and that's a really big cover.

I've been using California Car Cover covers for years. The only el-cheapo covers I still have are used inside my garage to keep the dust off the paint. If any one of the cars needs to be parked outside for any length of time, I buy the correct texture California Car Cover for it. I even have...

Look at the firewall. There should be one or more business-card sized rubber flaps part way down the firewall. They're most likely packed with leaves and dirt. They're the drains for the cowl area.
