I purchased a full set of Bill Stipe shocks about 2 years ago and have never installed them all. It is about time that I got them installed! My problem has been with the shock link assemblies. I have tried everything that I can think of to get the link ***'ys properly installed, and nothing...

Has anyone tried using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean up a Zenith carburetor? I have used these cleaners for years in cleaning up antique radio components, and was reading in one of the antique radio forums where some of the guys have also used these cleaners on small engine carbs. I sounds...

One of the items on this winters squawk list was to rebuild the generator. As things turned out, I caught it just in time, as the front bearing was completely missing one ball, and the cage was a mess. The rebuild went well, and I wanted to test it before installing on the car. I was trying...
