Our 67 Impala photographed in Alberta last year in front of our friend's house. It is our road trip and West Coast touring car. This year we are taking it down the PCH for a few weeks and another trip to Alberta.

Re: two center support snap rings. GM Hydramatic fixed earlier issues with the center support lugs embedding into the soft aluminum case. The upgraded center support was machined a little thinner and a snap ring was placed in first against the aluminum case, then the center support, then the...

We use Flexzilla hoses for the garden / yard. They don't kink and they wind up nice on the reels etc. Well over 5 years in service so far for our two Flexzilla hoses and no issues. https://www.flexzilla.com/

I back in as much as possible. I do not back in at Costco or Home Depot etc. strictly due to grocery / goods loading issues. Someone mentioned pulling through to the immediate opposing spot, that is my favorite technique when it is available.

Nor have I.

That is definitely the biggest issue now. There are very few non-LS lubes out there. I am interested in what you eventually go with and how it works.

Yes, I installed an Eaton Truetrac in my Chevelle. Did you have a specific question or do you want just general comments? It is a good unit, I was happy with it. Torque bias was mostly uniform under straight line acceleration, cornering bias was fine as well. I didn't think there was an...

I just did my Impala last summer, I used Edelmann and have used them before with zero issues both in fit and durability.

I do not. I do my own oil changes so I am confident, in the case of the Tacoma - an at risk vehicle for a damaged housing due to over tightening, that I will not have any issues. The Impala's canister is 56 years old but there isn't very much that can go wrong with it, I inspect it every time...

Whatever is the lowest cost per unit volume but I'd never go up to a pail or a drum. Lately that has been jugs but I prefer the packaging convenience of the quart (litre for where I live) containers if I had a choice.

I use this in my old manual transmission cars, shifting is fine, no mechanical issues after years of use. The boxes were all GM Muncies and I am not familiar with the design of your transmission but if the service / owner's manual is calling for a conventional GL4 this is good stuff. I can get...

I have the musts eg. engine rebuilds (rods, mains, heads, etc.), rear axle rebuilds (ring gear to differential, bearing main caps, etc.), lug nuts, oil pan drain plug, spark plugs, some drivetrain (clutch pressure plate to flywheel as an example). Beyond there, if it is convenient to get into...

1 - 1970 Buick GS455 Stage 1, had the pleasure of owning a like new mint 1968 Buick GS400 almost 40 years ago and it was the best muscle car I ever owned (all around rating power, reliability, affordability etc., made it to the NHRA Division 6 semi finals one year, it took me to University for 4...

I only carry a flashlight and a tire gauge in my new / daily driver cars regardless of the journey. In my old muscle and collector cars on long trips outside of my city I carry a budget socket / wrench set, the ones that come in a medium sized plastic suitcase type holder. I also carry (on...

Violin solo at the 3:00 mark.

I enjoy Ward Carroll and Rick Beato.

Yeah that was the last part of my career, VB, and the last language I learned (I am pretty far behind now in the world, clearly). I was awestruck by being able to "compile on the fly" so to speak and make most changes on the spot. I use it at home now (in Excel macros) for running financial...

Retired now, but if I go way back in time to the start of the main career of my life (it was #4 chronologically), there was a career ad in the local paper, a large US based industrial company needed a FORTRAN programmer. The hard science degree I had mandated a couple FORTRAN courses back when I...
