Time to rebuild my carb. Problem, I am not sure the model/make so I can order the proper kit. I will post some pictures of it. (Also, if you notice anything off - springs, clips, wires, etc in the wrong place, please let me know - I am still learning.) Thank you, in advance!

A quick question. I have a new distributor that came with my car when I bought it last year. I did not install it but swapped out the distributor cap and rotor (it was running poorly and I was trying to help teach my daughters, who are getting near driving age to learn basics like changing...

I’m not sure the technical name for the threaded rod that sticks up out of the carb, but it’s loose. How do you tighten it? Thank you, in advance!

My 1968 Newport happens to have a red p/s pump bracket and pulley wheel. I’m guessing the stock colour should be black (I’ve not seen pictures otherwise but that doesn’t mean some were not red (heck, this one is - but it doesn’t look like it belongs)). I’m repainting parts under the hood and...

Wanting to replace my potentially 50+ year old gear oil, the local shop did not have 90 weight oil in stock on the shelves. Lots of synthetic gear oils with a range that includes 90 (ie 75w-x), etc. Are these permissible to use in our differentials? Mine is a 1968. And how much gear oil...

What is the best temperature for a thermometer for a 1968 383 - basically stock? I want to replace mine (no idea how old the current one is), just to be on the safe side of things.
