Just finishing my inner fender replacement and started the engine for the first time in nearly a month. While apart I replaced the sparkplugs (was 43xls now 44xls as book calls out), points, cap, rotor. Did not replace wires as they are fairly new. Unknowingly had ignition in on position (probably 1-...

Considering a roll cage talked to Greenlight Performance and from what I heard they do excellent work, it is NOT cheap wow $2000.00. They use Chrome Moly and TIG weld it. This is a turn key custom cage. Any ideas if this seems to be in the ball park ? I see cages for sale very cheap but do not know how go...

Any evidence of past mechanical issues has been remedied; in fact it was running like a top as it quickly disappeared down the street.Well done to the owner operator the transport was spotless...

Our son get's up at 4 a.m. to get ready for work at Menard's on the early stocking shift, and woke us up this a.m. and told us to go the lowest level.

Must be in the water on the south side. We picked up this 1965 Buick Special; she’s watertight, drives straight and has a rip roaring Fireball V6 backed by a Powerglide.

Long story short - the new lower unit has the "later" style pitot tube for the speedometer. The boat has the "early" style connector/coupler coming out of the transom... No worky-worky, need new coupler!

So I get home from work and my wife says the pump hose for the pool is leaking. We already had replaced the hose once, but now it's where the hose connects to the pool side. A simple fix, but it took a little time to cut the hose shorter and re-attach it while it spews out a gallon every 4 seconds from both sides...

Road trip story: For the last couple months, my wife and I have been seeing commercials for the Golden Corral chain of restaurants.
