They fly! :D

Great story and character sketch!

You should have plenty on hand. I have two radiator drain/fills recorded. One took 2 gallons plus another 16-32 oz. I might have made a mistake for the other, because it only lists one gallon. (Maybe a gallon of concentrate and I forgot to record the distilled water.) The water pump job took...

If you're in Texas now and anywhere near Fort Worth, Clinebarger is the one to fix it for you.

SubieRubyRoo: Thanks for your first-hand information about the glass industry. It's really interesting to hear the facts. When you were talking about sorting different glass colors, I started wondering how broken glass is handled. My area has single-stream recycling. Even though I'm careful...

Freschetta used to make a frozen pizza with sauce-stuffed crust. Discontinued, unfortunately.

I spent three winters driving a 2WD Chevy shortbox in West Michigan. I moved there with Firestone Destinations that were like driving on ice skates. Michelin LTXs felt like snow tires in comparison. I have driven I-40 at least to Gallup, and once to Flagstaff, several times in winter. Once, in...

I went down an Internet rabbit hole and found myself reading the model year 1969 Pontiac owner's manual. I thought the oil specs might be of interest. Old Car Manual Project Oil and ATF change intervals are on the previous and next pages. Oil: 4 months/6000 miles, whichever is first. 2/3000...

My lifelong assumption, not informed by technical knowledge of any particular carb, is that the mixture gets richer because the amount of air is reduced. That is, when the choke is closed, enrichment happens because there's less air, not more fuel. I'll watch this thread and will probably learn...

The part about pushing everyone off existing plans shouldn't surprise me. So far, I still have my old Total plan. I have only noticed two differences since the Verizon takeover. 1) The Total by Verizon website is now every bit as frustrating and unusable as the Verizon Fios website. 2) I kept...

That doesn't sound like a recipe for long-term business success. If this guy wants the repair revenue that's drummed up by doing inspections, he needs to get licensed. In Virginia, I expect to pay $20 for a state inspection. If it cost me $120, I would be finding another shop for both...

I saw these items in the garage of an open house a few weeks ago. The house was built in 1964. The sellers had lived there for most if not all of the years since. And here's a bonus:

If the engine is original, and that's a big "if" considering its age and that it's a small-block Chevy, the compression would be 9.0:1 according to the brochure linked below. It's interesting that both gross and net hp and torque are listed. 1964 Chevy Pickup Brochure

My Mac is old enough that Firewire is the fast connection. That led me to Other World Computing's Mercury Elite Pro Mini for a 1TB backup. I only use it a few times per year, but it seems well-built and matches my iMac's finish. I also use their Mercury On-The-Go drive to back up a Windows laptop.

I didn't want to be that guy, but it seemed OK in this case. :unsure:

I first stumbled across BITOG trying to fix something on a 1994 SL. I'm almost certain it was a post by Eljefino. The Saturnfans website will be a big help if it's still around. There was also a guy who posted a lot of good Saturn repair videos on Youtube back in the 2000s. This is the kind of...

It looks like 8 quarts for the oil and filter change. 13.3 is the cooling system. Funnny, there's no mention of the differential in the capacities chart.

Your local library probably subscribes to several databases that either focus exclusively on newspapers or include newspapers among other publications. Free to you with a library card. Colleges and universities have similar digital subscriptions, and they often allow community members to get...

I noticed diesel in the $5.19-$5.49 range over the last week. Regular was around $3.49 at those stations.
