Apparently mechanics are wincing, too. The car repair column in the Chicago Tribune, written by some bigwig in the AAA, always refers to these guys as "technicians", even when the answer involves som

I have an old (~15-20 years) mechanical underdash gauge set (Temp/Amps/Oil Pressure) where the temperature gauge has expired. It looks like the little capillary tube connecting the gauge to the sende

Hmmm. It sounds to me like the problem was in the master cylinder, not in the booster. After all, the brake fluid had to be leaking to begin with in order for the (otherwise properly functioning) boo

Thanks to everybody who sent me suggestions on what to do about the gauge. One point I neglected to mention was that this was a kind of cheapy set I bought back in the '70's and press-fit into some n

Sounds like a marketing decision. US speed limits are low anyway compared to the rest of the world, so you might as well chop down the ratio and claim great acceleration instead. IMHO, despite the ho
