I keep a small armory of caustic and acidic chemicals around for LBC cleanings. A few years ago COSTCO (a warehouse store) sold 5-gal containers of CARBURETOR CLEANER for $17.00 I think I bought 5.

Well, good to have you back. Sort of a funny phrase if taken out of context. You're perhaps taking the "drive it on the weekend, work on it during the week" thing a little too literally. This could a

Concerning the troubles you're having with your battery being flat, I offer the experience I've had with generators. On my spitty, before I installed the six, I had a generator for quite some time.

Yes, Stan, I've seen it. Seems it was taken from the front of a car that makes a lot of nice noises; my guess would be a high perf. V-8 (as in Ferrari). It is quite amazing to watch. I would assume i

I'm really biased, so take a spoonful of Castrol Oil along with it. I love our 85 XJ sedan. I have to admit that even without the 12, it would be a wonderful car. The 85-87 model years are really th

The way I understand it, an Aston was the first 'hatchback', perhaps the 2/4 model of the 50's. I bet other list members know more though. As far as econobox, I think an MGB doesn't fit into that cla
