    What did you do to your car today?

    I drove it to Autozone where I bought a blower motor for my newer Ford van that proved to be a real PITA to put in compared to how simples it looked when I discovered it needed to be done. Before taking it to Auto Zone I took a new brake drim off and spray painted it black so it will turn rust...

    Things you have found in car during resto

    I found the build order under the front seat of my car. So I know when it was born! I also keep $100 hidden in each of my vehicles. Sort of like the PIN money that Maverick had in the old TV show.

    In Search of Oil

    The store brand oil at Dollar General is rated SF so it has zinc in it do not know about the phosporous. It says on the bottle somewhere that it is not for use in cars built after 1989. Although I am certain that people who buy it ignore that warning.

    Farthest you've travelled in your Mustang?

    I always thought they made the cars to be as effiecnt fuel wise as possible as the government is always wanting them to have high MPG goals. There is only so much energy in a gallon of gas and if the vechile is big and heavy it takes more to move it around so when they lighten the cars they get...

    I want best possibly MPG that I can get without making the car a real dog. I live in the middle of nowhere and unless I am driving he car just to test a recently made repair- the shortest trip I will take in it is going to be 45 miles. I am not really wanting to put in a 4v carb as I replaced...

    Farthest you've travelled in your Mustang?

    Mesozoic I briefly looked inot fuel injection and deciedde that it was too expnsive an endeavour and as all the kits I have seen are aftermarket they might prove difficult to get worked on or repair myslef when thengs go bad. I am not mechanically incompetent but some complex prohects are...
