In my Ford/Mercury truck parts book, it only list the 239 engine. No 255 cu

What kind of car and where is it located. Western Canada is a large area. We were looking at a Lincoln out west and something smelt real bad about the whole deal. We never did go to look at it.

Clean every thing and shoot some primer on it. The last thing people want is old dirty oily parts. This will fetch better prices. Second Masking tape is cheap. put prices on everything. I hate having to find who the owner is and ask the prices on 20 items I'm interested in. I walk out of...

I made a balancer years ago that seemed to work real good. It was a lot of work for a one off job though.

What work really good is to use the input shaft and gears from a Z-28 and the rear half of a S-10. I did this 5 years ago and am real happy with it. T-5 transmissions and parts are getting harder to find. There is no Borg and Warner replacement parts available. Tremec has dropped all...

We run into this a lot at the boat dealership that I help out at. Boats get stored for 3, 4 years when the owner loses interest in it and the new owner can't get them to start or run. If it smells really bad and cloudy to the point you can't see through it, throw it out. If it's still somewhat...

I modified a later 12V starter to take the old style bendix. Works like a charm. It spins the motor at normal speed, not in warp drive. All you have to do is drill a shallow hole to take the dog point of the one bendix bolt. At the time I had no way to mill a key way, so left it out. It's...

I can confirm the stories of the needle bearings causing the death wobbles. I changed the kingpins on my truck and right away it started to wobble. Everything was brand new and tight. Changing the alignment had almost no effect. The only thing that stopped it was to install a steering...

If he loved the motor that much to do this kind of research, WTF is he doing replacing it with a big block. Total crock.

I've been using the 3 ring Egge pistons in my truck for about 14 years now and have no oil burning problem at all.

put the ****** into first gear and rotate the input shaft. Watch how many revolutions you need to turn it to get one complete turn of the output shaft. Casting numbers mean nothing.

There is nothing wrong with the gas tank in the cab. If your in a wreck bad enough that the tank ruptures, Your not going to be alive to worry about it. I've had mine like that for 25 years now. drive it and enjoy it

Let me guess, the grommet is worth $1 and Mac's charged you $10 shipping. Mac's isn't the only one doing this. I just got ripped off by Enco where the shipping and handling was worth more that the one item that they shipped from a separate location.

That AGS line, if it is made in china, looks to be very fine stuff. I have no complaints about it.

It is sold under the name nicopp. short for nickle copper. Best deal I found is on Amazon for rolls of it. AGS is the main company that makes the lines and fittings. I love using it. I'll never go back to steel lines.
