    California smog expert please advise

    So my Pathfinder failed its biannual smog test the other day. The truck runs great and does not run hot or have any performance issues whatsoever (aside from only having 150hp to push around two tons).

    68 Buick brake issue

    this is copy and pasted from the Buick forum I just joined. I just bought a nice Electra this weekend but it seems to have a major brake issue. The brakes do not seem to have nearly enough bite to them. I am unable to even remotely come close to locking up the brakes. I bled them last night and...

    yesterday the alternator belt which drives the water pump sheared all its teeth and stopped spinning. The charging idiot light and the brake warning light (wth?) came on. While exiting the freeway the temperature guage shot up all the way to red and stayed there for about 1.5 miles and maybe...

    idea for chain maintenance

    ok so for years I used all the different types of chain lube including dupont teflon stuff. For the last six months or so I have been cleaning my chain with plain old wd40 once a week which works out to about once every 250 miles. I have not been using any lube. I ran out of wd40 last week and...

    ? about E10 and octane

    we know that ethanol has a much higher octane rating than standard gasoline (130 I believe)I was wondering if gas stations simply add ethanol to regular old 87 which (I think) would bump its octane to around 89-90 or do they adjust other additives to compensate?
