I went looking through my email archives. The only thing I have is a mail from Barney, saying use 7/16-20 of appropriate length to give flush. I'm trying to think back to when I did it. But nothing's

I dug my air rail out. It sure looks like 3/4 in to me. You won't hurt anything bottoming out. In fact, you need to bottom out or you won't actually seal. The thing you don't want is for it to stick

My '72 was my only transportation when I was in college back in the mid-80s. That was Kansas, so not near the snow as here in Minnesota, but plenty of ice. I rarely had a problem. Check out the new B

You'd think a place that gets 60 inches of snow a year would have people that can drive in snow. But they can't, the first real snow of the year and there's a wreck every couple miles. This in a plac

Either is fine. A couple of things though. 1) Don't you still have to bore out the current bushings so they are the proper size for the oversized throttle shafts? 2) There used to be a page on the Ch

That's the ballast. The top wire, I believe should just go to the coil. So, you can just pull the bottom one and put it on the coil. But then you need a different coil. You did get a non-ballasted co
