Re: Transmission Vacuum Modulator

I ended up getting a wrench today at the hardware store that fits. But I'm still unable to even get the modulator to budge.

Re: Cold Air Intake

I've thought about those as well. But would putting 2 cone filters 1 on each side in the opening into the engine bay from air vent and forming aluminum around them to enclose it to stay cooler cause the engine to run hotter?

If it happens again and again and bothers you - you should pinpoint which rocker is noisy and adjust the preload . It still may happen again . Thank you. I just read a...

Put let me tell you the $80 i spent cleaning and resealing the gas tank was well worth the money. Just think all that work youve just completed ...

Engine pecking

Last weekend my 65 made its first long journey with me. She has sat in the garage all week. Today I went to start it, and became very concerned for hearing a loud pecking sound coming from the engine. After running for a few minutes and a quick 1 mile drive it no longer made this horrific sound. Any...
