I had a problem recently when I tried to hook up the gages for charging the A/C on my 79 Vette. When I tried to get the adapter on the low side(block attached to the compressor), I could not get it to fit because the bolt that is used for adjusting the belt tension is in the way. Is there a...

Need some advice asap. A friend of mine said that he services air conditioners and he would be glad to do mine. He claims that he can mix the original R12 with the newer 130 and that it will work just fine. Does this sound like it will work??? More important, will it hurt my A/C system...

I'm having great difficulty finding a problem with my "79" Vette that keeps draining my battery, if car not started every day. I think the problem is in the radio or courtesy systems. I wanted to run a new wire from the radio to the fuse block, but dont know how to get to the back of the fuse...

After about 3 days of sitting the battery goes dead in my 79. I did a current flow check with a multimeter on the 10 amp scale and had a reading of 1. When I pulled the courtesy fuse the reading went to zero, however then the radio would not work. If I pull either fuse, the radio or courtesy...

Just installed a standard exhaust on my "79" from the "Y" pipe on back. Very difficult to get the pipes up high as they were originally. Has anyone seen hangers that mount over the top of the spring center plate, and drops down to attach to the 2 pipes?? The originals were tack welded...
