    Can I Polish Brushed Trim Rings?

    I have a set of the factory 14" brushed trim rings. Can they be polished to "mirror like" finish? How would I go about polishing them? What products would be necessary?

    Any Ford Techs Here? 2017 Fusion 3rd Brake Light

    I need to know how the CHMSL lamp (3rd brake light) mounts to the top of the rear window on the current (2017) body style Fusion. Because it is such a nice sleek design, I'd like to add one of these CHMSLs to my '71 Dart (I know cross-breeding is usually not acceptable, but that CHMSL is so...

    Would you trust 13 year old tires?

    I bought my car 13 years ago. It still wears the tires the previous owner had on it. I drive mostly surface streets (very rarely on the freeway) 45-50 mph maximum. I drive it less than 1,000 miles per summer. Tires "look" OK. What would you do?

    Coolant Concerns

    The overflow bottle in my 1971 Dart Swinger has brown and muddy looking liquid in it. I removed the radiator cap and saw the same brown and muddy looking liquid. So I'm thinking it's time for a radiator flush. I opened the petcock and out flowed crisp clean lime green anti-freeze. What is going on?

    Electronic Flasher

    I have a 1971 Swinger. The turn signals blink slow at a red light with other electrical loads on (wipers, headlights,etc...), but will blink faster when rpms are increased. Would an electronic flasher cure this problem? If so, can you suggest a brand of electronic flasher to purchase?

    More Brake Lights

    Has anyone considered converting the back up lamps (on a '71 Swinger) to RED 1156 LED(s) and then do some re-wiring so the RED LED(s) illuminate with the brake pedal apply? I think the wiring would be easy enough to do, but will the RED LED(s) look OK? I think I've heard RED LED(s) need a...

    Bad Alternator? NO, BAD VOLTAGE REGULATOR

    I've got my Dart "stored", up on jack stands, for the winter. While "stored" I start/run the vehicle for about 30-45 minutes (running through the gears (A904) putting about 2 1/2 miles on the odometer). Yesterday I started/ran the vehicle as usual. While watching my volt gauge it never left...

    Screeching Sound

    I have a 1971 Dart Swinger with a 318. It makes a terrible screeching sound with the engine running. The noise increases as rpms increase. Sometimes the noise lessens as the car "warms up", but seems to be getting worse as time goes by (it's been doing this for about 3 years (~800 miles a...

    Thermostat Install

    I will be swapping an aluminum intake & 4-bbl onto my 318. Prior to the swap I want to install the thermostat with RTV. The question is: Does the thermostat's spring face down into the manifold? Or, does the thermostat's spring face up into the thermostat housing?

    How to add DRL

    I have a 1971 Swinger. I want to add DRL (Daylight Running Lamps) to it using the front grille TURN signal lamp filaments. I DO NOT want to use the headlamps for the DRL. Has anyone done this? A schematic/diagram would be very helpful as well. Let me know what you've done/got.

    Brake Prop Valve

    I have a '71 Dart Swinger I just put the SSBC front disc brake kit on. It came with an adjustable proportioning valve, but I'm unsure as to where to install this valve. The directions are not very clear. Can anybody help direct me? Do I put it between the master cylinder and the rear brake lines?
