Replacing a 20 year old Craftsman riding mower. Looking at riders with at least 46 inch deck. 4 anti-scalp wheels on the deck is a must have (corners of deck). So far the possibilities are: Cub Cadet XT1, John Deere S140, and Craftsman T2400K. Any opinions and experiences are appreciated...

The only source that I can find a 3.08 rear end ratio for my 1968 Firebird rear end ( BOP 8.2) is through this company. https://www.quickperformance.com/GM-82-BOP-Buick-Olds-Pontiac-Posi-Gears-Bearing-Kit-Package_p_23027.html Has anyone used any of their ring and pinion kits? Were they quality...

My wife’s mom has a low mileage 2008 Impala that has been sitting in her garage for 5 years without being ran. We need to sell the car to prepare the home for sale. My plan is to drain the fuel (siphon) as much old fuel from the tank as possible, add fresh fuel, check fluids, replace battery...

Been hearing - reading about a 2026 merger of Honda & Nissan. Thoughts?

I need oil for my flat tappet cam swap and found Valvoline VR-1 (5 gallon) 10w30 listed for $9.99. What you reckon would be delivered if that was ordered? One quart?

Breaking in my flat tappet cam (Pontiac) very soon using Driven break in oil. The bottle says Do Not Add Additives. Any real world experiences using this oil for flat tappet engine break in?

Will be bolting the heads on my Pontiac 350 soon. I need all the leverage I can get…I’m old. Any experiences with Harbor Freight torque wrenches?

Looking for hydraulic flat lifters for my 1968 Pontiac (cam change) and found a new set of Elgin lifters manufactured in 2019. The boxes have Made In The USA on them. Current Elgin lifter boxes shoe Made In Mexico. Wondering where and what manufacturer could have produced those 2019 lifters...

I have been a staunch Valvoline synthetic user (Extended Protection 5W30 lately) since my truck was new. 2017 GMC Z71 crew 5.3. Now that it’s right at 100k and the Castrol was a great deal on the last Black Friday sale, I changed to the Castrol. The oil has only been run 1k and it is really...

As the title says….it has been a good one. I’m looking for a new riding mower with a 42 inch mowing deck that has 4 anti-scalp mower deck wheels. All that I can find (Deere, Cub, Craftsman, Toro, Husky, etc.) anll only have 2 anti-scalp wheels on a 42 inch deck. It appears that to get that it...

Wondering if there are any Pontiac owners here? It’s hard (in my opinion) to discuss and glean info from any of the Facebook groups due to the trolls lurking about. I’m changing the cam, lifters, and valve springs in my 1968 Firebird 350 and like the Melling selection of stock camshafts and...

Finally had a few minutes to install my gauge cluster (water temp, voltage, and oil pressure) in my 1968 Firebird. They are simple mechanical Bosch gauges. Temp needle never moved. Sucks. The instructions state to never kink the temp probe cable ensuring there’s always at least a 3 inch...

Anyone using Hagerty Insurance for a classic-antique car? Do they stay close with the initial quote or jack up the price once your engaged with them?

Recently had an issue with our upstairs heat pump. It’s a Goodman unit that’s almost 3 years old. The “defrost board” had to be replaced. Since then the heat will come on and run for less than a minute then shut off. The temperature stays at 70 degrees upstairs. This occurs when it’s in the 50s...

I’ve been given the green light to sell my mother in law’s car. (2007 Impala with less than 30k miles.) She hasn’t driven in 3+ years. I’m not sure that the car will run with the old fuel in it. Anyway, We want to eliminate dealing with individuals coming to see the car at her home. We’ve never...
