Have a guy interested in buying my truck. He wants to pay with a USAA bank check. He has agreed to allow the check to clear but if it's real I don't want to hold him up either. I'm not a military guy and never heard of this bank. Anyone? What is the best way to verify? He has offered his...

I have read in here two times now that engines or the FH has a fixed position when it's shut down. Why is that?

I was surfing the net the other day and saw a video of a 32 ( I think) being built with an early 70's Ferrari engine already installed on the frame. Anyone know the story behind that car?

I see some women wear their best diamonds when the leave the house but I never see a blown engine unless it's at a show. It is price, wear, reliability, visibility, are they illegal, fuel economy, too much attention? Do they have to be full on all the time? Can they go the distance, will a blown...

It seem to me there's always a question about valve removal in here. I've searched the Tube and there's an old video of a guy removing valves with a long bar but not a detailed up close video. Has anyone made such a video and posted it?

I'm certainly not a mechanic but I read something in here a week or so ago and I have to ask about it. I believe it was stated that the thermostat has no impact on the operating temp of the engine and went further to say that the thermostat only helps the engine warm up quicker. Now again, I'm...

With the factory three speed and also with the t5 I find it hard or stiff to pull it out of a gear for the next one when I rev over 4k. Why and how can I loosen things up?

I read many people referring to service manuals. I have a 49 F1 and I'd like to have a manual on this truck if it exists. Are they reproduced or do you just have to be lucky enough to have one?

See that red spring and its assembly? It pushes the lever below and that pumps/squirts fuel. You guys know this better than I do, why am I explaining this to you? I was changing my jets today and discovered this thing. I think the tighter the nut on top the higher the pump arm will be allowed to...

I have developed and exhaust leak and I'm having trouble figuring out which exhaust gasket I need to order from LMC. The leak is between the stock headers and where all three enter into one pipe. LMC has an item called pipe gasket 40-4110 and exhaust pipe gasket 40-4391. I have asked the nice...

I have a two part question. I don't know what you call it but I had a conversation with someone a while ago about his drop tank dragster and how far leaning to the rear ( I think this is called raked) his front linkage was leaning. He explained to me how that helps keep the wheels in the...

My truck will try and sometimes will stall when I stop hard. Only when I'm stopping hard to avoid nailing the guy in front of me, not the every day driving. It feels like it's fuel starved. Edelbrock intake and Holley 4 barrel Is it the g-force creating a temporary starvation? Is there a way to...

Is that what this is? The yellow wire goes to the horn and I'm guessing one of the other two goes back to power and the other to the button? Horn is working fine but I'm about to change the horn so before I start touching things..... Thanks in advance.

I have a second oil pressure gauge on my engine. Today I had the plastic line up to the gauge split and ended up with oil spraying everywhere. I bought the unit from Advanced Auto parts. Is this typical of the non electrical units or is this just a cheep import issue? The line closest to the...

In every neighborhood there's an old man still driving his old car that he's going to die in. At some point in their life they loose the ability to upgrade the car and usually everything else they own. In my neighborhood there's a couple driving a fifty something, something ( I think it might be...

Just received my new 11" clutch and when I go to install it the springs in the center are contacting the flywheel bolts not allowing the clutch surface to contact the flywheel. I have photographed the old clutch plate next to the new one and you can see how much more BEEF there is on the old one...

If you've done this conversion, can I see how you fab'd your cross member

I an mot sure how to attack this correctly. I have a t5 built and with the new bell housing the assembly is longer then the stock trans and bell. This changes angles from the output shaft to the drive shaft and may change the angle from the drive shaft to the diff. I already know the drive...

Would you consider these lean? photo is of the same plug but I did pull one from each bank and they looked the same. I jumped on the highway ran it up and cut the ignition. Here's what I got. Notice the scratches on the last photo to show I was able to scratch some residue off. Not sure if that...
