Surging at a constant speed in high gear (like driving down a flat road at 35 mph and NOT accelerating) is a sign of timing too far advanced. It's more pronounced if you're driving a manual trans vehicle, too.

One of the dirtiest headlight plugs I've ever seen. No wonder the lights are dim. It looks like they're full of over-spray.

Get your hands on a good rust solvent like Kroil and, using the supplied tube, spray liberal amounts down between the glass and the sheet metal while aiming the spray tube in the direction of the latch (which is usually two or three inches below the door handle. Give the mechanism a few hours...

"All the cars power runs through the ammeter" No it doesn't. This is the case ONLY when the engine isn't running and the battery, itself, is supplying the power. Once the alternator (or generator) starts working the current flow through the ammeter changes direction and ALL of the power...

Just be aware, you need an expensive(federal, I believe) license to even posses R-12 let alone fill/top off an a-c system with it.

Back in the sixties, one of the guys on the team Loctited the nut (single nut, '51-'55 style) on the cam on our AA/FD hemi dragster. getting it back off ruined the cam and we had to get another one; YMMV

Oil slingers SLING oil onto the moving timing chain. Leave it out and your timing chain ruins dry That's why it's called a slinger.

"Know what's in that path? The carburetor. Some have claimed that "insulator" was there to keep the valley pan gasket from cracking and leaking oil." The "bag" is a tappet noise suppressor. It has nothing to do with heating the carb. You won't find it on a 273, 318,36, will you but those...

Run the car down the road for a mile or two in a lower gear keeping the engine rpms around 2500 to 3000 then pull the offending plugs. If they're still black, you have a fuel distribution problem. If they've burned off he carbon fouling, your choke was most likely the culprit and you just...

Vacuum hose rotted away or fallen off in the heater control system, probably under the dash? Bad power brake booster? Cheap vacuum gauge?

I worked on a lot of those back in the late sixties/early seventies. Quick way to put power brakes into your pick-up truck.

383 and 440 should be a neutral balance damper. 400, on the other hand, are externally balanced so the dampers are NOT the same as the 383/440. Is the rubber cracking? Can you wiggle the outer rin at all? You can get it rebuilt at https://www.damperdoctor.com/ . I just had them rebuild the...

I use Safety Kleen in my ultrasonic cleaner. I got it used from the property disposition center at the Digital Equipment Corp site in Westfield, MA when I worked there in '75. The company upgraded to a bigger system and I was able to buy the old one. It's a 9" X 10" X 26" LPS stainless tank...
