While they are all running, the current draw through the "feeder" line is highest, and so is the voltage drop across the feed wire. So, the voltage at each bulb is lowest. Once they start to go, the

Well, connectors are in the circuit, and excluding them would be silly. That's like saying "This city is crime free" and then later saying "Wait, clearly I was saying this city was crime free EXCLUDI

I second that. I sort of split my welder purchase between a mega-chain (Canadian Tire) and a welding shop. The shop couldn't match the price on the unit itself, but the gas kit was the same price and

From my experience dealing with people who don't normally drive in snow, the simple answer is just "slow down". Most people I see from warm climates drive 90 in a 55 when it's nice out. Then think "o

We have salt on the major roads after the salt trucks get there. However, minor roads and such get cleaned and salted last, if ever. So you inevitably get your fair sure of totally "natural" driving.

As promised, I scanned the pic of the convertable Z Magnette. Email if you want a copy. Remember, it's a BAD pic, it's clear but the composition of the shot makes it hard to see anything of use. -- T

Don't have a source for you, but I got a used set of fiberglass fenders for my 70 B. They are EXTREMELY light, a couple of pounds. Much lighter than the metal ones, but I am not sure what that means

The 5 degree advance with the "blip" would be correct for a vacuum retard distributor using manifold vacuum. Manifold vacuum is high at idle, the throttle plate is "sealing" in the vacuum. When you b

For starters, leave the car jacked up like this over the nights and days while you are deciding what next to do. It also might help to leave the car in this state while trying other techniques. A lon

I wouldn't worry about bent rods. Bent rods usually happen with the engine at speed, so the whole momentum of the CAR is used to compress the incompressable and the rod takes the worst of it. I don't

Agreed, I don't think it's much. It's pretty easy to turn by hand, compared to an A/C compressor, and as mentioned the A/C compressor is only a couple of horses. -- Trevor Boicey, P. Eng. Ottawa, Can

I don't think this is universally true on a couple of levels. First of all, it should be cut with the line that it needs only to be strengthened if longevity is a concern. Most engines will survive w

You can probably pin the problem down with some simple DIY tests. Take a small gas can to the corner station and buy a few liters of diesel fuel. Spin the engine until all the pistons are about the s

That certainly gives a valid comparison between cylinders, and might explain a bit if the drainage speeds match up to the cylinders with bad compression. However, I've used the diesel fuel test quite

I think this is another example of the "rebuild the engine" crowd. I don't think we are, as a rule, made of money in this group. Spending $2000 rebuilding an engine every time it hiccups is a quick w
