Back in the 90s, I filled a seized 76 4 cyl Diesel Mercedes with Marvel Mystery oil that had sat for more than 25 years. Two weeks later, I broke...
My 66 Nova has had one since 1970. When I got it in 79, the king pins were worn out and it STILL drove better than the stock Chevy II front end. I...

Funny to see this, that 55 used to belong to a buddy of mine on Cape Cod. It was called "100 Proof" The name of the shop I worked at was still on...
The local dealership we had a town over closed in 1983 when the state came out with emission testing for inspection. Sort of the straw that broke...
Tommy's spot on about all of this. I ran my lines uphill all the way so whatever water condensates in the lines, runs back into the compressor...
One of the most unstable cars I ever drove was a Anglia with a overdriven 6-71 smallblock. The way the suspension was set up was for shit, and...
Sent ya a PM, I have a bunch of that stuff.....

OUTSTANDING shot from inside the car. Great thing that your father gets to enjoy the car again also.....
This is a "Lockport" cast GM 052 ZL1 from 1970 cast out of the original 69 ZL1 molds. Less of these made than the original ZL1 run... [IMG]

Looks to me that someone fabricated another lever onto a comp plus body. Nice job too.
I have both a die-style hyd pipe bender, and a JDQ-3 tubing bender and I don't think even if you bought properly sized (My understanding is that...
What you want is a single-square socket. Those are made for square pipe plugs. The double square, and especially a twelve point stand more of a...
Bill looks to be doing some excellent fabrication with axles, and that's coming from someone whos owned most of the axles fabricated in the last...
Look HERE I've converted both my compressors over to Eaton pumps, and have recommended their units to other local people and they all love them....
HERE you go, this is from Eaton Compressors and is what they use on their 5HP models. And it's only twenty dollars. Call "em, every compressor...
