Ever = Never

Installed power booster and dual master into my 65 F100. Now the fun starts creating the longer lines from top to bottom.

Weekly my 2004 Focus 2.3L stick gets 29-30 mpg. If, and that is a big IF, I could keep my foot off the gas it would be 31-32 mpg but the car is too **** much fun to drive quick. The 91 626 stick gets 34 mpg every week without fail. Coming back from Las Vegas the 2004 LeSabre 3800, last Sunday...

Interesting read through 7 pages. Now I had a 1986 626 for 375,000 miles. My girlfriend at the time then bought a 1986 626 automatic. Next my mother bought a 1989 626 automatic. I was given a 1991 626 5 door stick in 2009 by a friend. I bought my wife a 2018 Mazda 3 sedan because of what I knew...

The one I bought the 2018 from is a standalone in Concord, CA. When I bought my 86 it was also a standalone dealer in Oakland.

I am now. When I bought my 2004 Focus I was 51, knew it would be with me a long time, but not how long. Now I know and that is for good at 67. I see no reason why it couldn't go another 20 years being at 177,000 miles now and getting only 8,000/yr. What sealed it was being given a 1991 Mazda 626...

I've been heavily involved with Mazda since 1986 when I bought my 5spd 626 DX. A few months later my girlfriend bought a 626 LX. In 1989 my mother bought a 89 626 LX. Mine went to 2006 and 375,000 miles. In 2004 when looking at cars to take it's place the choice was between the 2004 Mazda 3 and...

Type, 01 F-350 5.4L exhaust gasket oem, into eBay and you should get 34 hits on Ford oem exhaust gaskets. I just looked and prices range around $30 each. Example...

Engine shot familiar as I had to cut and form three engine cowling panels that had corrosion holes right through them besides wing panels. Actually four cowling panels as my first one I was off on the zeus holes by a 1/4". A somewhat expensive and time consuming learning experience for a first...

The plane ended up as a fire bomber in 1960 after her service ended in 1956 as a COD. I'll show an early stage and finished stage picture. Fire bombers always had their gun turret and bomb bay doors taken out and dumped. We were lucky to have a complete gun turret for the plane. We have acquired...

I do? Always placing faith in the here and now can blind many to the future. They have the money, they have the desire to be dominant, and they have the engineers to do it. As much as I do not want to see it I am not about to ignore such a potent competitor. Should we wait 10 years to see who...

Five base rings have a nice light gray appearance while one looks to be on the black side. One might say slightly cold or rich but still in the range of acceptable to good. Judgment since it isn't in my hand for a good close look.

Yes, it is an Avenger (Grumman design, Eastern Motors built) that I restored externally so far. Interior has to wait as I have far more pressing concerns on the outside of the museum.

Tell me how many are GM and Ford leaving out foreign manufacturers. I believe it is 5.3 million in 2019. Obviously 2020 is a bad year to judge being down 15%. Meanwhile Chinese car sales are expected to hit 25.3 million in 2021 and that is what I am saying. From Reuters: CAAM also expects...

Let's look at some facts. First, Europe and China are pretty much going all in on EV leaving only North America as an outlier. Those are two very big car markets and when that big one can call the shots. That leaves GM and Ford out in the cold as Chrysler is European owned anyway. So if GM and...

I don't like those tiny black deposits seen on the porcelain and tip. They look as though they are fused on. So it seems like the plugs are running hot to me. I also don't believe it is anything related to gas since I am California and none of my 10 cars ever had plugs with small black deposits...

The one in the upper right is a bit of an outlier I'd say.

No hose clamp on a hose, no water pump gasket on a water pump, so now need to find someone who placed cylinder head on block with no gasket...

Well don't feel bad as you could have done what I did. It isn't as though I don't have an experience with changing water pumps ever since 1970 in my Cougar. Yet 18 months ago I finished installing my rebuilt heads, new camshaft and new lifters. Buttoned it all up and went out for a 25 mile drive...
