Last fall I installed a Griffin aluminum radiator in my 68 Malibu. I replaced both radiator hoses at that time and installed stainless "worm gear" style clamps. I have had problems with coolant leaks on the lower hose on 3 occasions, and even tried 2 clamps to ensure a good seal. I had th...

I have been looking at small motorcycles for my son for a few weeks and came across exactly what I wanted. Slight problem, it was in south Chicago.
