    Hard starting 1406 Carb new problem.

    Mine has the same problem as RIBS. The longer it sits the harder it is to start and seem to be getting worse. Not sure if it can be fixed or is it time for a new carb. I don't remember it being like this when it was new. The carb is 7 or 8 years old but I only put on around a 1000 mile a year...

    Voltage regulator ?

    What should the correct voltage be? I have between 14.65 and 14.75 volts at the battery with the car running. The light are brighter than normal and have a flicker that's new on the head lights and tail lights. I have a Motorcraft electronic regulator that about 4 years old. John J

    Insurance lessons learned

    I have Hagerty and have no issues. I few years ago I raised the coverage on my car since I put so much money into it and it was seamless. No problem when I moved to SC and needed to have coverage in my new state. I have used their road service a few times and the response was as good as using...
