I had the same car when I was in HS. I never did get the headlight covers to work so I ended up using a couple of choke cables to open and close them! LOL When you are 17 and broke, that's how you fix things!! A friend totaled his 442 and gave me the engine and ****** out of it so I had the only...

I care. I would love to be able to store that much hay. Is it on pallets or just on the ground? I was thinking of pallets or putting down a blue tarp and stacking the hay on that.

I have 2 of them. 1 is 6 years old and has been through snow and ice storms with no problems at all. I stored my Bass boat in there for a few years, now I keep my 1964 Ford Falcon in it. Just starting to leak as the sun and weather has started to take its toll on the cover. The second one is...

If you think it is a gauge issue. with the ignition on, pull the wire off the fuel sending unit. If the gauge goes to empty you have a shorted sending unit, if it stays at full you have a bad gauge or a short in the harness.

Relax, it's a vise. All it does is hold something that you are going to cut, drill, weld, bend, or beat the snot out of. Heck most of them are bolted to the back bumpers of service trucks, hardly a place you normally find precision anything.

She works full time in her field and I still make twice what she does.

WOW a few of the tools you posted are pretty hard to come by. Most of them were strut tools. I have had to make a couple of them since we couldn't find any when I was working on planes in the 80s for Yesterday's Air Force in St Pete FL. Long gone now.

Not 100% sure about the degree deal. My Wife is Harvard class of 2000 and I have made far more than she has every single year.

All of this stuff is designed to fail. I got a code on the Wifes Durango yesterday so I look up what it is and what the deal was to fix it. Honest to God it said to pull the intake and check an electrical connection!!! You can't even SEE the intake under all the **** and what kind of *****...

The analyzers don't go for all that much, but a working distributor tester does. I paid $300.00 for my 1115 analyzer and only paid that much as it was closer than any other I was able to find. I would say if both work you hit it big for a deal at that price.

Ya the hoses are always gone. They had to be a special material for the exhaust sniffer. Tygon has lots of Hc in it and will give false readings. Same with vacuum tube. It was a special type of nylon tube that I have yet to find so my sniffer is inop. As for age, I am guessing yours is late 60s...

I had an issue with my old 97 Dodge where if you took your foot off the gas pedal, it would just shut off. Took it to the dealer and watched the mech bring it into the shop. It stalled on him 3 times. About 30 minutes later out comes the service guy and honest to God he says to me there is...

Nothing is nerdy if it is in your own garage. It is yours so who cares what others think. If you check out their garages, you very well may find their wives have more stuff in there than they do. I would rather be thought of as nerdy than henpecked! I just may move my old Heathkit stuff out to...

Sorry no photos but I have the complete set of airframe and powerplant manuals for the B-24D series aircraft along with the pilots manuals for pretty much every US warbird fom W.W.2

I used server towers we were tossing at work. They were 7 feet tall and 2 feet wide and about 36" deep. I just laid them on their sides, so they were 36" tall, and put tops on them. Made great bench frames and I even had 2 of them put together and mounted a 4'X8'X1/2" piece of tempered glass on...
