1966 Ford 289 - I recently replaced my rad core, my thermostat, my water pump, flushed the system and filled the system to about one inch below the rad cap. I drove about half an hour away and back for a show in Millbrook on a fairly hot day but not humid. My new Classic Instruments electric water temperatu...
I think a photo is attached ? Nope - I guess not. Sorry. My wife was throwing out an indoor clothes hanger for laundry to dry on so I tore most of it apart and kept the main upright support portion. It turns out that the upside down 'V' design works well in the back of a pickup truck to support a tarp. With the 4...

If you buy a vehicle from one of the western provinces do you have to pay taxes in that province? Can the transfer be done from Ontario? I know about the required appraisal but is there any other hoops to jump through? TMJ
This is scary! I came across this on youtube the other day. It kind of re-enforces the fact that your hot rod, or any car for that matter should be only driven in top mechanical shape. If you know something needs attention, fix it. If you can’t fix it, take it to someone that can. And, use all the safety equ...

Had a reputable tranny shop rebuild & install an overdrive tranny this past spring. Went to grease the new 'U' joints they installed & both grease nipples wouldn't accept any grease. Upon installing 2 of my fittings problem averted. Offshore junk? Gotta double check every thing !!!!
I recently converted an old fire extinguisher into a space to store a tow cable because inside a 29 Tudor, there isn't a lot of space to store anything. My gas tank is under the rear window so I have a bit of space on either side of the tank but just enough for a jack & a tarp. I didn't add a nozzle, hose and...
