Google speedometer gear calculator. It's more in depth than you might think. Tire size, drive ratios, rpm at cruising speed, all that takes place here.

the entire design of the vehicle, no matter what it is, is based on the height of the cowl. Which is in direct relation the height of the engine. On top of that, you want to use the trans and transfer case,and front diff. So, I would have to get the measurement from the lowest point of the...

buy a plasma cutter, and get cutting. Not much of your car will be left once you get the drive train placed

Personally, I have 5 cars in my driveway. A Toyota, my wife's Kia, a 1994 Impala SS, a 1970 El Camino, and my 75 Dodge. I have never considered myself a brand loyalist but, I do gravitate to Chevys. Point is, fill your driveway with whatever you want. We all love cars and the joy they bring us...

Completely off subject, but pics of the Caddy would be awesome! Please : ) I'm a complete Ecto 1 nut.

the gas will evaporate too.....

I didn't read every post, so I'm sorry if some of this is a repeat. If water can't get in, humidity can't get out. The same thing can happen under your car cover to a degree as well. The moisture from the ground and air can get trapped under it and it just sits there. Car covers are just dust...

Being a parts guy that works on cars on the side, many different brands, I can attest to being able to explain with first hand knowledge how a customer can fix their problem. Being in retail parts for many years it's a great feeling when some one calls to say thanks or brings an apple pie by in...

I'm sure it's like this in any manufacturing process. With every company. I've been a GM guy my whole life. Moreover a car guy. So, if i like the car I don't care who built it. Being a parts salesman for the past almost 20 years gives you an idea on which brands or models to steer clear of...

I have watched a handful of Dealer Promo videos on "the tube" including one for a Royal Monaco from 1977, it pooh poohs GM's downsized Caprice, which is ironic considering it's the last year for all the "BIG CAR" stuff they were touting. To continue with GM's '65 offering, I have two very good...

Soldiering iron. Find where you need the hole, be damn sure, then punch a hole with the iron. No little frayed strings or anything to deal with. The first hole is the most nerve wracking. After that, it just goes....

There is a video by Project Farm on youtube about Seafoam and his very wore out Ford Ranger. It's worth a watch. Years ago I spent some time with a Seafoam Rep. He said Deep Creep was the same solution as regular Seafoam only in aerosol form. The bottom line is this really, maintenance. Change...

The first week I owned my car I put 900 miles on it, the u joints took a dump on me. But, the rest of the car didn't miss a beat. Go for it!

I replaced the flew plate in a Ford Expedition 4x4 a few years ago. I did not want to disassemble the transfer case and trans, or drop the crossmember. So I took all the bolts loose and in the bottom bellhousing bolt hole I made two dowels. I piece of all thread cut to about six inches long. I...

My 94 Impala SS was my Daily for years... very practical, and reliable. Just needed something that got better mileage. I have always wanted a wagon B Body Chevy or the even rarer Olds, and I love the look of the Fleetwood.

that's a rare one!

When my grandmother was 74 she was in her second ever accident. She t-boned a blue Mazda Miata. Totaled her 91 Nissan Stanza, gorgeous car, but her baby was gone. I gave her my 97 Camry, since i just purchased my 94 Impala, I didn't need it any more and she did. I put 110k on it she doubled it...

I thought they were called the Maloo. Which sounds silly, but apparently means Thunder.

Mine is a 1999 Toyota Camry. 190K and counting. It's my third. I've owned a 97,98,99 over the years. Truly fantastic, simple, anvil tough cars. Also have a 94 Impala SS, 70 El Camino. My wife drives a '15 Kia Soul 6spd stick.

Bluegrass Parkway between E-town and Versailles KY, 1997 close to midnight, driving a 1968 Cutlass 2 dr Holiday coupe. My girlfriend at the time decided it would be fun to enjoy the desolate night time cruise home from my dad's place. It was the wildest 10 minutes in a moving car I've ever...
