Yes - I have an L-82 w/ the BW ST-10. It used to have 3.70 gears but I lost my brain and put 3.36 in

Yes- I have the stock tires size and Close Ratio 4 speed manual. Engine has been tuned.

Will this have much of an effect on acceleration if I make this change? My car feels like it runs out of gear and is a dog off the line. thanks

Hi, I have a couple of inches of slop in the '79 steering wheel when driving. I've replaced everything you can think of steering wise (except the PS hyd. cylinder). The slop happens when I change direction of the steering wheel - at the top center area of steering wheel. So I put the 2 front...

Frustrated....I couldn't get me door to open last week so I ended up using a sawzall to cut the door striker off. So I bought a new latch, took off all the rods, door handle and cleaned and lubed them well. Reinstalled with new clips - the whole 9 yards. I test it out by closing the door. Hmm...

Is this only a problem if the car gets in an accident? :)

What if it was done with butyl tape instead of urethane? What kind of problems can occur?

Are you guys still not able to see the pics? I can see them in the thread? I think the site hosting my pics was down yesterday though.

I picked up a copy of Consumer Reports auto edition this week and was amazed at how unimpressed they are with regards to American cars with the exception of a few standouts.

I want to remove the passenger side front fender only and am looking for some advice. I am going to be replacing the fender so I don't care if I mess it up. Its my understanding that you have to grind down through it and then use a putty knife to seperate if from the bonding strip. I'm just not...

When you order the new bumper and of course it doesn't fit right, what is the method (tools) that people use to make the fit properly. I've got no body experience so I would hate to mess it up. thanks

I am converting over to R134 and bought a replacement Accumulator that says that it is compatible with both R12 and R134. Do I need to remove the valve inside of the service port before threading the new R134 service port on top of it? :)

I want to the R134 switchover but its not real clear on the what is the "correct" O-Ring thickness and diameter that should be used for a given a/c connection. My question: Is there a measurement out there that states that the different connections should have X diameter and Y thickness (for...
