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!

(why it wasn't INCLUDED with the new lower unit...

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...

These are not 66, because they have the towanda sticker and are not 67 because they do not have the large dent on the lower rear corner of the drivers side for the brake booster. I would include a photo by my camera is on the blink. The are original and have the towanda sticker on the passenger side. On the...

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

Ok, who does it? I wrote into Chevy Hi Performance Magazine a couple months abck because there was some issues I had with a reply on a tech question. On the same page, they had incorrectly stated that you couldn't get a TBI intake manifold for Vortec heads, which was wrong (67SS has one on his 67SS...). We...

It seems when you start what seems to be a simple project, it just keeps snowballing. Started to replace my front inner fenders. Now amongst other things, I have a need to sandblast my exhaust manifolds and paint them. Can anyone recommend a shop that does sandblasting of such items? Being it is not the...

Just caught the first episode of this show. . . . . Might not watch any more. Fyi, it's a reality show set inside a parts store in the Bronx.

Jim D (bowtieman427) and I dodged the rain on Saturday and went to Cedar Falls.

My uncle has a 68 charger with a 440 big block in it and ever since the motor was rebuilt the thing has run hot and wanted to over heat at idle.

Yep, the early spring has the Wood Ducks and Hooded Merganser’s busy in our little back yard housing complex, we have three boxes and there are four more houses in the yards just to the north.

I have a friend of mine that is going through motor, and front suspension on his 1968 El Camino. His question is: On the blower motor, there is a rubber tube that goes from the motor housing to where? His is missing, how important is it? Can he just plug the housing on the motor, will it be OK, or run hot? ...
