    steering play

    How much "play" should there be where the pitman arm attaches to the power steering stuff? I get a little wiggle there, not noticable while driving, but if someone turns the steering wheel while the wheel is off and looking at it you can tell there is some more than I'd think is normal. Jeremy

    welder electric requirements?

    I have an old arc welder (stick welder) and am building a detached garage. What electrical requirements should I consider for a welder? It is a pretty big one in my opinion, a little larger than one of those little college dorm room refrigerators, runs on 220. I have 200 AMP service to the...

    ordered new garage this weekend

    After comparing some prices. I finally ordered my new garage this past weekend. I know it is already too small, but 16x22 (car and a half) is as big as I was comfortable with going with at my house. We aren't planning on living here forever and thought anything larger would hinder the sale of...

    poor performance, holley/qjet?

    I just bought a '76 stingray, the engine is not original, but I think might be a "clone" of the L82. It has a Edelbrock Performer intake and a 4160 double pump Holley Carb with vacuum secondaries. I've never had a vacuum secondary car before but it seems like it just doesn't have a good pull...
