Hello all - the frame bracket broke on me earlier this week - I finally had some time to get underneath and remove the two bolts that go in the frame so that I could give it a good up close inspection. Easy enough, I thought. The bolts are now out but the bracket won't budge. Is it possible that...

I'm not sure if I had made my point. I think we can all agree this is a rare combo weather its 1 of 6, 1 of 60 or 1 of 432. What I was looking for was some comments on what such a combo might be considered in term of collectability at some point in the future since it not as desired as let's...

Just looking for some thoughts on the above. While I was down at Carlisle last weekend I saw my car. LOL - a Dark Bronze 81 w/ a 4 speed. It was for sale w/ at a very high price . Anyway, I was talking with the couple who owned it and told them its the only time I saw I've seen that color aside...

OK, final question regarding the gear oil for the tranny in my 81. I just got the oil delivered by Summit. It's Brad Penn "Classic" Multi Purpose GL-4 80W90 Gear oil. All looks good with the exception of the following which is on the label: Not for use in applications requiring API GL-5 quality...

Thanks again, all GL4 will be purchased this week.

Thanks, all. Chiltons specifically mentions GL5, and you definitely say GL4, Hib? I am now reading the bottle of 80W90. It reads as follows: Differential: API SERVICE GL-4, GL-5 Non-Synchronized Manual Transmission: API Service GL-5 A bit confusing...any further clarification would be great -...

Hello all. Any comments about using Rotella T 15W40 ? Also - looking to change the tranny (manual) fluid - I have the Valvoline 80W90 Gear Oil. Chiltons mentions GL5...not sure what that is. Thanks!

Any comments about COOPER Cobra Radial GTs? They are around $115 a tire

Im looking to replace my tires this weekend(P255 60R15) - are my only options BFG Radial T/As and Coopers? If it makes any difference, I like to face the black side out...

Thanks for all the suggestions but it winds up that it was the alternator that went bad....guess it was a coincidence. The system was way overcharging and now all is back to normal.

Thanks again....and one more time for clarification - what is the wire w/ the two-prong plug is, passenger side?

Thanks, but now i'm confused - if the connector on the passenger side between 6 & 8 cylinders is a temp switch, what is the water temp sensor in the head between 1 & 3 cylinders thar Bill had referredn to?

Thank you as well, so you have had this problem yourself?

Thanks, I will look on the driver's side for those connection - can you tell me what the wire w/ the two-prong plug is, passenger side?

I replaced the spark plugs about two weeks ago...about a week ago i noticed problems w both the water temp gauge and the ammeter. after a few mins both immediately get pinned to the right but the car runs fine...is there a short? maybe i moved a wire while i was under there? ...also did not put...
