What I learned the hard way: You do all of the actual "put the glass in, take the glass out" work with the 'chrome' (actually stainless) and the gasket in place around the windshield. So: To remove

I don't ride motorcycles much, but being in a roadster in Seattle, I drive like I'm biking. Which is to say, cars just don't see you. I've been pretty badly cut off, only to see the driver of the oth

I recommend a winch. That way, you can crank the car onto the trailer a little bit at a time, and it makes life a lot easier when you're bringing home a non-running 'parts car'! Even a hand winch ("c

Stan's accurate assessment: However, to reinforce Stan's point, the warranty is only good if the PREP is done right! The best product sprayed over an improperly prepped or adhered surface will fail.

I've actually had mediocre luck with Pertronics. It worked all right, but with a somewhat worn distributor, I still had some timing wander. Got an Allison (now made by Crane, www.cranecams.com) which

It's a release problem- the linkage is pushing the m/c plunger in just a bit, blocking the release holes. Fluid can't get back out of the pressure system. As the brakes heat, the fluid expands, putt

Yep, Check that the back carburetor has the 'thermo valve' on it, between the back carb and the fuel return line. It's a big, cast aluminum assembly that restricts fuel return to the tank. If your re

True, too true, but the emissions control led to a higher underhood temp, which caused more frequent vapor lock, so the fuel recirculation was, in part, a fix for problems CAUSED by the emissions con

(at the risk of starting another silly thread) If you start with a cylinder at 1 atm. and compress it to 1/9 its original volume, (14.7 x 9) you get 9 atm or something like 130 psi. But if you start

There IS no accurate "how many turns" because each carb is a little different, and the needle can be seated differently in the plunger. And, indeed, the cars are pretty tolerant. Me, personally, I g
