Thanks for helping me trouble shoot my U20 death-rattle. Someone, I'm not naming names, put in the tensioner gasket upside down, completely blocking the oil hole. Fortunately I caught the problem be
I have an original emergency jack -- but no crank. Has anyone had any luck getting these cranks from junk yards, or improvising something with a socket wrench? N _____________________________________
I'm having a bunch of frustration with my header. First frustration: it keeps eating the head-pipe gasket. I've now blown two apart in 500 miles. Now I'm not a master mechanic but how do you mess up
not sure about everybody else's floor jack, but mine is designed to roll forward as it lifts--great in the garage, bad in the mud and snow. For an emergency jack my preference is for something that
I wonder if the girl comes with the car? Awesome modeling . . . makes me think that I should upgrade my babe-magnet-daily-driver (rusty '88 honda prelude) to a real babe attractor. Didn't they call i
I know this isn't a part of the car people normally show off, but does anyone have a picture of the inside of their glove box, and the mounting of the fuse box. N ____________________________________
I didn't realize there was such a person, and now, if this is true, I have a whole mess of questions. Let me know before I go to my "frustration" notebooks to assemble a question filled e-mail. I've

Does anyone know where I can get a new speedo gear / sleeve setup? I currently have a 18 tooth gear and I think I'm registering speeds 130% of what they should be. So I should probably go to a 23 or

I'm planning a Colorado to California shot in the old '69 2000 and am wondering if I've lost my mind. Everything's rebuilt and new, and we've driven the 500 miles breaking-in period without recent ma
Can someone tell me which rollbars fit underneath which ragtops? Here's the problem I have: I am in California, with my garage stuffed with spare Datsun stuff, including what looks to me to be a thic
Car safety isn't science. I know that if I had a lab perfect roll-over the rollbar might not keep my head from getting a pretty good whack. But in real life all sorts of physically complicated things
Thankfully this is an un-Datsun related question. But I am faced with trying to get a Fiat 124 from L.A. to Colorado. The Fiat 124, the car that launched a thousand third world imitations, is not re
I'm about to set off on my cross-country (or 1/3 county - Denver - SF) drive. Very excited, but it occurs to me that I'm not a great mechanic, and I've done a lot of the work on my car. Although I'v
First, I'd like to thank everyone for encouraging me to try the cross country trip. The roadster performed admirably, or that was after I cured some pinging with a generous treatment of octane boost
Also, some time I'll need to post to the list and describe what happens when you brake a throttle return spring on a long open stretch of highway in the middle of Nevada. The short: you get where you
