Re: Is this the AAP?

So I capped both of those ports off, the first few days everything worked fine, and now the car has a hard time starting in the morning. It almost acts like it did when it was below freezing, needing to crank for a while before catching. Except now it is 50-60 degrees in the morning and up until I m...

Re: If you thought the emissions on our cars were bad

I drove a motorcycle for a while, and while it was fun not a good experience either. Nearly had a semi truck run me over, he made a right turn from the left lane as I was in the right lane next to him. I managed to stop, the bike slid sideways at 30 mph, since it was a dirt bike turned dual sport I ...

Re: Blue 194 LED's

Could easily add your own dimmer, assuming they can take a lower voltage. Or rig them up to the parking light circuit?

Re: Old cars, friends and family

Around here the cops pay attention to me because the car is so old. I even got pulled over and the guy wanted to make sure the car was safe to drive :lol:

Now this is tempting

$500, we're kinda tempted with this one!

I emailed him asking about miles and more pictures.


What is a "valve job" oh old engine experts? :?: I assume adjusting clearances, or replacing valves?

Yeah the cable looked like a normal coax cable! Ha, I bet my kids will be like "Co axe, what?"

I'm buying a new radio, and while it'd be nice to have FM every now and then, it isn't really pressing. I was going to pull it out of the junker but someone cut it long ago!

Re: If you happen by a pick and pull (My list of parts I nee

It pulled right off the wire on the junked one when I tugged it lightly to get it off. I think the wire is gone from my car (of course), I'll have to see if I can get at it to check!

If I can't figure it out, it'll just be a cosmetic antenna for now, to cover up the ugly holes!

Ah ha! Somebody with one feedback bid 10,000 and retracted/cancelled it. So it is back to $960, with a reserve of $3,000
