I thought I was ready to pull the engine. Maybe not. Do I have to take up all the floorboards and drive shaft tunnel and remove the remote gearchange assembly first? If it can be done otherwise, I'd

My mom's big ol' Chevy Caprice Classic has one but I think it's purpose is to provide vacuum to operate the power braking system in the event of engine failure. (I won't even put in the joke that goe

When removing studs from the head is it preferable to jam two nuts on the threaded part or try to grab it with vice-grips or something in the middle or is there another way? Should new studs be used

I stick by my original statement that there should be a Mazzy Star song with that title. It should also have that feeling, but the phrase need not occur in the lyrics. What it's called or is is less

Been there. The colourtune doesn't actually tell you the mixture. It just shows you one view of the flame. I had old, high resistance plug wires and the colourtune showed "rich" even when the carbs w
