    Missing 3-4 gallons.

    So after almost 10 years of driving the duster and tolerating the gauge going empty & putting in only 10-11 gallons. I figured it's time to find out what is really going on.

    Got a new keychain. "She'll start..."

    My poor wife didn't get the quote/reference when I showed it to her. (She's 50 yrs old so I know she's at least seen it once) I guess it's a date night watching that movie.

    A500 rebuild. Removing lockup?

    I'm currently tearing into the $200 A500 I got it's from a 92 2wd Dakota. So I've done the non-lockup mod before with the A999 I have now I'm planning on doing the same with the A500 now. The main reason is torque converter selections are junk for LU 26 splines. The highest stall I found is...

    The question of the day: Stick with auto or go auto to stick?

    So, I just acquired a rusted out shell (no trans or motor) of a 74 duster for free. It had a manual in it so I now have access to a manual trans hump, clutch pedal assembly, Z-bar, etc. Hopefully this doesn't cause an auto vs. manual flame war. So I'm deciding now if I really want to swap to...

    QA1 install.

    Well. I went ahead and did it. I purchased the QA1 Tubular K-member. I got tired of constantly fixing the original K-members welds. It also doesn't help that I have a cheap 15 yr old Craftsmen welder to deal with. So I pulled the trigger and bought the setup from Summit.

    Let's start Monday off with a bang...

    With the garage door that is. For some reason the garage door started closing on me right when I was backing out. My wife and kids are out of town and it's 5:35am, so I figured I was already clear and didn't bother looking back.

    F@%$&% Ricers!

    Definition of a ricer: An obnoxious idiot who thinks his blinged out (slow) economy car is fast. Therefore puts on a crappy sounding muffler, stupidly tinted lights that serves no purpose other than to bring attention to their "sporty" farty econobox special. And top of all this, driving like an...

    Well folks its that time of year...

    Tax time that is. I am expecting a refund not huge one.

I know there are other options. It's just...
