The Carfax and Experian databases only work on the "modern" VIN numbers that were standardized sometime in the 70s (I think). As far as I know, there's no other way to perform a vehicle history. Howe

Generally speaking, used car dealers would prefer NOT to know about problems with their cars, so they can say with complete honesty that they weren't aware that the odometer was rolled back (or that

Much as I like the idea of repairing sheet metal with paper towels (honest! that fits in EXACTLY with the British tradition of "making do"), a slightly more sophisticated method is to buy a kit that

Congratulations on your purchase! I would suggest replacing all the metal brake lines, since they've probably been rusting away from the inside. Also, when you try to remove the rubber brake hoses, y

I'd try a better hardware store ... Home Depot or Lowe's. IMHO, Sears doesn't have much of a nut and bolt selection. Graham Hi all, I foolishly thought I would be able to replace the old crusty nuts

Virtually all wire-wheeled cars require tubes, and since virtually all tires today are radials, I somehow doubt that tubes inside radial tires are a problem. -Graham -big Healey with wires, tubes and

Since we're on the subject, what is the best way to use heat to free a stubborn nut or bolt? Are you supposed to heat the offending part, or its surroundings? I can see how heating a nut would expand

You could send the seller an e-mail and ask him. I'd love to see the reply. I'm always mildly concerned when I see such a professional-looking ad on E-Bay with ZERO feedback for the seller - since he

Peter is correct ... What I should have said is that if anyone has tried to adjust their idle with the linkage loose/off, the carbs will almost certainly have lost their synchronization. Plus, like m
