I simply keep the battery charged with what is called a float charger. The more modern the car; the more they may draw when shut off.. A float charger the battery charged. How to Find and Stop Car Battery Drains – DIY Car Battery Tests Interesting article except I'm lazy and use a float...

It was a beast of an engine..

Welcome to CAC and the group..

You said it quite well as did your source.. I'm a retired power train design type which means I can be detail oriented to the point of being anal. :D As the clearance between the shaft and bore is only a few thousandths; I can't offer an opinion on where the swollen material will go except to...

IMHO, nothing on 4 wheels is as beautiful as a Corvette!

Swell is 100% correct and IMO, putting it mildly.. An O-Ring fits in an annulus (groove) and in a bore.. It stretches slightly in the groove and is compressed slightly in the bore which provides a seal.. Now, consider what happens when an O-Ring swells in the bore and groove....

DOT 5 is silicone based and DOT 5.1 is back to glycol based the same as DOT 3 and 4. Actually they are poly-glycol based.. Here's an interesting site on the subject; in addition, it shows a compatibility chart also. Simply said, DOT 5 is compatible with no other brake fluid. What is the...

Definitely a compromise with vehicles.

I'm a Ham operator and shortwave listener which means I notice antennas.. I don't see as many antennas on interstate rigs as compared to the past when almost truck had one. Perhaps the cell phone's ability to "phone home" so easily has replaced CBs??

I replaced it with an 84 Z/28, swapped the 305 for a pre-smog 350 with nitrous.. Never tracked it, but it was fairly quick. Best was, it had a backseat for daughter.. :)

X2, the hood light does time out.. And no, I've never timed it.... ;)

After the blower destroys the CATs; I'll go with metallics; cleaner and more flow...

Welcome to CAC!! I understand kids... Once my daughter saw a 69 BBC roadster and said that is a cool car... The ex said your father owned one; daughter said why did he get rid of it?? Answer: go look in the mirror.. :D

I agree with Hib.. As they copy everything, I'd add check out Ebay's offshore copies also.

Welcome to CAC.. As you didn't mention anything other than it doesn't work and the fuse is good... The first test is there electricity at the contacts?

A 120K on the engine; with the valve covers off it looks mighty clean to me.. Depending on how hard they were run with gas engines, a couple of thousands wear at 100K is pretty much normal.

I did the 30 yard thing at Costco.. When I walked out there was a fancy BMW parked next to me..I though what the heck.. The owner was pushing her cart behind me.. She said I knew my baby was safe parked next to your baby.. :D My major dislike is when I part 30 yards from anyone and an idiot...

Meguiar's paint conditioner followed by their wax did wonders to the 84 Z/28's tired paint.. After a color test where it couldn't be seen, I used the Goof Off method on my C5 and it worked quite well.. I followed up with Tonneau Pro's spray which IMO, chemically is closely related to 303...

Tom, Businesses are getting wise to Armor-All. As the maker of my tonneau covers warranty states cut out a piece of the failed vinyl and send it to us for analysis... I'd bet they save a lot of warranty $$ if they find the owner used Armor-All.. Although not all knowing; HS chemistry does know...

I have a C5 so my opinion might be irrelevant. Be that as it may, but I already have enough problems scraping the front air dam or the blower's duck bill. My wife has become an absolute expert at saying don't turn into that parking lot or she will scrape...Again..
