Without that raised tube or screen on top of the valve, its going to pull any crud on the bottom of the tank right into where the gas flows. Shine a light down in there and see if you have gunk stuck down in the hole. What I did was drain the tank completely, take off the floorboards, and got a...

That missing screen is causing your issue, I had the same problem.

Mine started seeping there when I started to actually drive mine. It sat for quite a while before I got my hands on it. The seepage started to spread outwards from that point until I noticed after a long drive that it would spit little water droplets out of the exhaust at idle. I changed the...

The guy apparently runs a body shop and builds hot rods (according to his profile). This is exactly the reason I do all my own work on all my cars. The techs at the dealer are just part snappers and most of the independent shops around me are ran by guys like this. If you find someone who knows...

Oil can flow down the torque tube from the trans to the rear end. Definitely keep an eye on it cause like others are saying, it can leak out and coat your rear brakes

I think they look good either way. I had whitewalls on mine when I bought it, but they were OLD tires. Nearly 100% tread but completely dry-rotted. I wanted another set of whitewalls but after seeing the price settled on a set of blackwalls.

Run the engine as low as you can where it runs smooth, take a can of starter fluid and give a quick spray where the intake meets the engine. If the RPMs change you've found your culprit.

Thankfully, they were in place on both sides. They seemed to be in fine shape, but I've got new ones on the way anyways along with all the proper hardware and Les Andrew's Red Book.

In the first picture or the second picture? I measured the drum thickness on the front/rear passenger side when I went through them when I got the car last year due to having 0 braking power. All the components were basically brand new and the drums on that side were in perfect shape and had...

After doing some research, nothing about the way these were installed was right. Should be Hub then Fiber Washer then Steel Washer then Castle Nut. I had previously pulled off both the front and rear passenger's side drums and found new brake shoes/hardware on both and inspected the drums...

The drum does not rub on the backing plate (surprisingly). After I took those pictures I went out and got a couple 5/8 washers and put them on the shaft. The cotter pin now goes through the castle nut correctly with those under it. Is this assemble supposed to have washers under it? Neither...

I was driving the car today when some nice gentleman in a Jeep informed me my rear driver's side wheel was wobbling. I got home and sure enough, with the rear jacked up it had about 1/4" of in and out play. I took the wheel off and the axle nut was extremely loose. With the nut tight enough to...

That is super neat! Does the propeller spin??

I rest the gas nozzle in the neck as high as it can sit and set the gas nozzle at the lowest notch. Flame arrestor screen taken out too. Pump always clicks off right about at the full mark on the gas gauge.

I see where it looks like its coming from the throttle shaft. It looks like its wet up above the throttle shaft, or is that just a shadow? The only thing I could think would be fuel flowing out of the idle jet port above the throttle plate. But, if that was the case it should be pouring out of...

Re: Squeal that I can’t pinpoint Throwout Bearing

"the driver sat in the center of the cab and used one brake and one accelerator pedal, but shifted both transmissions independently with two different clutch pedals."...

I have a DSG in my other car. Anyone could get into a car with a DCT, put it in drive, and go. There's not much difference in operation, you might notice it's a little jerky until you get used to it. I prefer a DCT to an auto, but would still rather have a clutch over either Automatics are old...

Unless the guy is missing a leg, there's no excuse. Anyone can learn to drive stick in an afternoon, it's not rocket science. I would think one of the qualifications of being a professional car mover would be the ability to drive a standard transmission
