    Advance Auto parts is closing 700 stores nationwide.

    5,905 total per Fortune, including corporate (Advance) and independents (CarQuest). It may be "trimming the fat" but their stock has plummeted in past year by more than 30%, which indicates a larger problem than could be blamed on just 12.3% of their stores. Their goal of building the easiest...

    valve lash cold

    All I can tell you is that having tried that chart, then checking the lash more places, I found some of the lash were off. I check about every 15 to 30 degrees for 1440 degrees. Probably only a couple thousandths off, it all depends on how picky you are. I literally found some of those Direct...

    Advance Auto parts is closing 700 stores nationwide.

    I have a commercial cash account with O'Reilly. The discount it offers is pitiful. And I get the same as all their commercial accounts, cash or charge. It's ridiculous and it gets smaller every year.

From research TRW manufacturered this tread saver line, and it later went to federal mogul which made moog for many years. I still need to...

    Advance Auto parts is closing 700 stores nationwide.

    Here in Mexico the Oreilly's are buying up other stores and one can find an Autozone in every town. Where I live I find recently d two more Autozone stores just opened, we now have no less than five (and they are rather close together)! Seems like overkill to me.

    Advance Auto parts is closing 700 stores nationwide.

    My friend worked at the gas station just east of the Champion, most of the time they just walked over for parts. I grew up near Glen Lake, and yeah, it will always be 12 to me too. The HQ was just to the east of the picture, a little past (and still in) the trees.

    Duster Breaks FAST Small Block Record

    I was standing at starting line when they ran at Cecil County. Yes track officials sprayed the track down with sticky stuff. Track was continuously cleaned too. When officials saw FAST cars about to stage looked like they sprayed a bit more sticky stuff on track from what I saw.....

    A-body 8-3/4 drums

    Had a few say otherwise so I’ll leave it there since we don’t have a time machine. I went out back to check the 69 notch, I looked in my old van of parts and lo and behold there was two non bell drums. I have seen them before but thought they were Falcon drums but then saw the small bolt...

    ****! Make that 101 and Mtka Blvd! (I should really be paying more attention to my job I guess....) If memory serves the garage across the street was called Ty Abel's, and where Neil's was is now Snuffy's Malt Shop. I grew-up north of Ridgedale, on Plymouth Road, and I still refer to 394 as...

    Advance Auto parts is closing 700 stores nationwide.

    Advanced Auto has over 6500 locations, so trimming off the bottom underperforming 10% of those stores has to be an overall win-win for the corporation. This is what the new CEO of Edelbrock did when he took over. He cut the 400 lowest selling items of the inventory. Tom

    1 bbl holley carb. rebuild piece missing?????

    Without the baffle, the car will want to stall on hard left turns and there'll be other driveability plagues—all of which the baffle helps with, but doesn't eliminate. All Holley 1920s were built with that baffle, so someone ought to have one for you somewhere.

    If you will recall I worked at Neil's Champion Auto on Hwy 7 and Mtka Blvd in the mid 80's, and I think I still have some promo items from back then (BB caps, matchbox cars, mugs, BIR plaques, etc). Just don't know where exactly...

    Transmission oil

    I drive on the street, and I used to drive my HotRod 4-seasons. In my effort to switch away from what I had been using, and go to full-Synthetic, I discovered that my trans shifted real slow with it. I reasoned that the oil was just too slippery. I took the trans down several times to modify the...

    '66 Dart headlight buckets

    Yes, I was able to swap them side-to-side with the same results- the driver's side is "off". And before anyone asks, neither fender is damaged or modified.
