I have a very minor leak at the rear diff seal. Anyone have thoughts on just adding some stop leak like Blue Devil? The fluid is fairly new.

I accidentally just added a bottle of Royal Purple Maxtane diesel additive to my gasoline pickup. The tank is full with premium. I haven't run it yet. Do I need to siphon as much as I can out or drain the tank? Or am I okay? Thank you for any advice.

Looking to see if anyone has experience with a battery disconnect switch. I recently installed Altman latches on my 51 Chevy and one of the downsides is loss of locking ability on the doors. As a safeguard, I'm thinking of installing a key operated disconnect switch on the line between the...

So the speedo in my 51 Chevy was off and after research, I decided I needed to change the gear on the tail shaft on the 700r4. So, after getting the correct color gears, I took on the project. Monday night I did the swap in roughly an hour and a half. That included removing the drive shaft and...

So I did a quick search and didn't see anything. Does anyone have some tips on changing vertical oil filters without a mess? I've never had an issue with horizontally mounted filters but the vertical ones seem to drain all over me while I'm trying to remove them from the engine. Also, any...

In my 1951 Chevy, we installed a rebuilt SBC 350. When we first installed the motor, there was a slight valve leak on #8. The engine came to me as a "brand new rebuild" but I've since started to learn that it may have been slightly used with less than 250 miles and the previous owner decided to...

Check this out. Think any of it is still usable?? Some old Sears Spectrum 10w40... in cans. I believe this is from the early 80's. I have at least 16 cans. Next is a couple of old KMart K1 oil filters. No idea what these would fit. Check out the price: $1.86, discounted to $1.47!! Last is...

"New" (to me) vehicle that we took out for a maiden voyage. 1956 Chevy 210 with upgraded power brakes. Was hearing a "whistle" sound when driving but not under power that would go away when the brakes were applied. I also noticed a rough idle that lead me to believe I had developed a vacuum leak...

I have a friend who swears by using Toyota Red coolant in his 350. He claims his temps run 7-8 degrees cooler than with regular coolant mixture. I'm interested in this because down here in south Georgia, my 350 runs a little hotter during the day and a drop of 5 - 10 degrees would be very...

One of our car club members swears by this stuff. He's been using it since 1989 in every vehicle he owns. He is a chemical engineer and I've learned to trust his judgement with regards to lubricants and other chemicals. I recently added some to the radiator on my 51 Chevy pickup and I'm looking...
