    Radiator Overflow Tank

    I want to add a radiator overflow tank. I know in years past they had a petcock for drainage. But everything I see has a vacuum system moving coolant back and forth.

    3rd taillight

    I know the purists will cringe. But I concluded I don't want to get rear ended but some fool on their cell phone, not paying attention and everyone assumes everyone's got a 3rd high light.

    What is the best way to remove road grime and or overspray from a windshield. I need something more aggressive than vinegar, but I fear scratching a new windshield with an abrasive. Can I use a green pad, or a clay bar? Any suggestions please.

    Power Steering Pump Replacement Pulley

    I am having difficulty finding the correct PS pump pulley. Most stuff is up-to 1970. Furthermore, the sizes vary widely. I have a 351C with A/C.
