    Dry Vega Steering Box

    Checked the gear oil in my Saginaw Vega steering box, which was put-in years ago before I owned the car. Removed a cover bolt and used a long allen wrench as a dipstick. Box is dry, no gear oil. But the dipstick comes back with a bit of pink colored grease on the tip, where it touched gears or...

    Flathead SBC

    No doubt you experienced guys have seen this before, but I'm new to flatheads and this was a shocker to me. A guy in our local Gearheads club just bought a T-bucket with a "flathead" engine. As I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what I'm looking at, he points out to me it's not a...

    Volkswagon Banjo Wheel

    A while ago TJ on this forum suggested the aftermarket VW banjo steering wheel. I had seen that, good looking wheel, and good price at around $300, but I was afraid the VW wheel couldn't be adapted to my GM column. But TJ said the standard 3-bolt adapter works. So I did it. And I like it! I like...

    Start-up After Winter Hibernation

    Two schools of thought. What do you-all think? (6 volt original engines) I have a friend who always starts his cars using starting fluid. Says he wants to save wear and tear on the starter. He does this even if storage was only a week or so. I don't use starter fluid, just crank in five...
