Are stipe shocks adjustable?

Just wondering if I can keep the battery up under normal daylight driving conditions. At the cutout, I'm at 7.2 volts, at the battery I've got 6.9 volts, and at the Amp meter I'm reading 6.5 amps. Assuming the amp meter is accurate. Does this sound like all is fairly good or should I raise...

Anyone have a part number and supplier for the direct replacement six volt halogen bulbs? I would love to see what the difference would be. Thanks gentlemen, I'm sucking up all this information Tom

purchased the new headlight reflectors from Brattons...90.00. Finally got the lights to adjust according to the way I interstand it. You adjust the lights with the high beams I think....is the high beam the V shaped element? And the V shaped element on top? Which is the light switch all the way...

what is the focus screw actually doing? Trying to adjust my headlights as described in the book, but just before they make the shape needed, the screw comes loose should I try a longer screw..? Help....can't see at night! Tom

in need of a new radiator. What I'm looking for is someone who has replaced one and they were happy with the installation...looks ...and a model number and supplier. I don't want to just go on a picture and find out insatallation is a nightmare. Thanks in advance for all opinions. Tom

Wow, I would have thought taking the horn rod off and then the nut would have made it a lot easier.....

Before the head bolt breaks, wouldn't it be wise to put a torch to heat it up first? If it creates a contraction on the bolt and a expansion on the head, it sounds like it would save a lot of headaches to me.

Watch the cost go higher....remember, lead was an additive and when they removed it it cost us more . Ethanol is an additive that has cost us more and when they remove it will cost us even more! Hat to be a killjoy ....but I am a realist.m

I used to rebuild the Railroad Relays, and some contacts were of silver and some tungsten. I would have to get the alignment and the polishing down to the resistance would have to be on a dry contact less then .009. On the tungsten contacts the next day....would be .255 or more. Just the air...

On November the 14th I had my left leg knee replacement and I was concerned about being able to clutch, or get down and under the car. The key is to get all of the therapy you are entitled too. I am down to one day a week now, but I can drive, since all but one vehicle I own is standard...

Tom you have me scared to death to leave the room with a battery charger on for any reason......

Nothing there to file on the one side....looks like it burned a hole !

Elvis has left the Barn!

oldwoodsman, I bought the tester, says danger of freezing .....drained thre quarters of a gallon out and replaced it with straight stuff....also showed them the receipt, and the gave me a gallon of the peak! Now that's an apology !!!
