    Ignition issues

    Alrighty, The issue started this morning. Intermittent. Runs very rough. I watch the tach drop in and out. At first I thought higher RPMs were solving it but thats not it because it gets bad at higher RPMs as well. Fuel and Air aren't the issue. All my wires are on tight. This problem hadn't...

    Gas Tank (run dry)

    So tonight I managed to legitimately run out of fuel. Hasn't ever happened to me before. Got her filled up and she started like a snap. Curious thing though. What is the capacity of the original tank? I barely got 15.5 gallons in before I was topped off. But I could swear that I had seen that it...

    Door and Window Seals

    How do I install them?! Should I use a glue or sealant? Or do they just pop in and are ready to go? I am not messing with the windshield or back glass, just the doors, windows, rails and trunk. Thanks for the insight.

    Pick n Pull

    So I had a painful experience today when I found a 73 coupe in a pick n pull lot here in MD. I got some pictures. The worst part was she was straight as an arrow. No wreck, no fire, someone just stopped loving her. Brings me to my question. When you go to a lot and find something like this...

    Fuel Gauge Reading

    Installed a new sending unit and I finally get some wonderful life from my tank again. Only one concern: The gauge pegs at about 11 gallons. Its a 20 gallon tank.

    Exhaust Manifold Busted

    My passenger side exhaust broke at the manifold and I am now in the market for a manifold on my passenger side (luckily that is all and not wheels, bumper, suspension) which I posted in the 'Want to buy' section. This brings me to my question: I currently have dual exhaust off of manifolds...
