    So you're standing at the parts counter.....

    If I'm not mistaken Advance Auto bought out Car Quest. A late friend used to have dirt race cars and like to experiment with engines. He built a 380 SBC in a GRT chassis and hung a "Grand Prix" body on it. Went to the parts store for spark plugs and gave them the Autolite #. What kind of car...

    2 Separate Blowouts on RV Yesterday. Learned Important Lesson on Tires

    I used to put on the show at the ramp. Everybody gathered to see the little 318 Challenger pull the 19' cruiser out with nary a wheelspin. Ever seen a trailer being pushed down the road?

    Quality

    I wish my Taurus only spun 1500-2000 at 70mph. Its a bit over that. It has 184k on it and uses no oil.

    Newest addition to my fleet

    Looks like a three chime air horn. Definitely not a siren. Nice truck! How are the cab/bed floors? Those slots look right.

    When is time to file a claim

    How do you buy what is yours? Insurance covers the loss in value, not the title.

    Got a good sandwich

    Some roach coach samowiches are pretty darn good. If you are ever in or live near Columbus, MS I highly recommend United Food and Deli (and gas station-they have E0, also). If you leave hungry, you didn't eat.

    Same here. Everyone said we couldn't ski with a cabin cruiser. Good looking boats designed by Raymond Loewy.

    Tonight's "science experiment" LOL

    Not so fast. Stur brand water enhancer uses Stevia and fruit juice. Then there is Stir brand sweetener, which also uses Stevia. Not all Stevia is equal (no pun intended). Research is showing Stevia is a diuretic and can cause dehydration and kidney problems. It has also shown it can interfere...

    76 Duster Overheating at idle

    At idle the fan can't pull any air through the rad due to there being no shroud. The shroud makes the fan bring air through the rad intead of beating it into submission. 192 is the stock temp stat on the later Magnum engines. IIRC every MoPar I have ever owned had a 192 stat. My 92 Dakota can...

    bout had it with modern poor quality

    Sears NEVER manufactured tools. It was contracted out to companies that made tools. In order to make money Sears sold the Craftsman brand to Stanley/Black & Decker. You can buy Craftsman tools pretty much everywhere.

    Not all v twin m/c engines are paint shakers. Just those goofy ones with the goofy firing order.

    Oil Filter Securement

    The hose clamp on the oil filter is an old trick in the world of Moto Guzzi motorcycles. In over 30 years I have never had a filter come off and I have never used a hose clamp. YMMV. BTW, did I say the filter is inside the engine? Fourteen (or is it 17) bolts to remove the sump and the filter is...

    Nascar nuts...

    Na$car is a circus. The cars aren't stock and they aren't allowed to actually race. As posted earlier it's all soap opera and politics. That's why I call it WWE on wheels. The R should now stand for Rasslin. Na$car has been like nhra. When anyone, especially Chrysler starts beating brand C they...

    whats everyone doing for car batteries these days??

    This is incorrect. Johnson Controls sold their battery division to an investment company, who formed a new company called Clarios which makes Interstate and many other brands. East Penn Manufacturing makes a few brands, such as NAPA and Deka. Then there is Exide, who makes a few brands. Those...

    Who drinks Malt Liquor?

    Back when Schmutz Malt Likker came out it was quite good. Smooth and creamy with a kick. Then they changed it and it became just a cheap ghetto beer. "Don't let the smoove taste fool ya." Fred "The Hammer Williams. As for Falstaff, it also was a good beer which outsold Bud in St. Louis until...
