Ford coil packs on 4.6 & 5.4 motors!

My garage was constructed in 2007. For the past four years I have been slowly insulating and sheet rocking. Finally all the sheet rock is installed, taped and mudded with one coat. I now in the process of finishing the spackling then priming. I'm also considering using FRP panels 4' up from...

I used 3/8 self taping lag screws and made sure three corners of the vise mounts hit the 2X4 studs I used to build the bench. The other mounting hole I used 7/16th machine screw with oversized washers through the 3/4 ply. No problems thus far!

Finally after three years I got the vise my daughter gave me for Christmas 09 mounted on the new work bench!

Have an 80 gallon 7.5 horse US General. It just sits on the concrete floor. It's been there for several years now and hasn't moved an inch.

Ford true blue!

While going through one of my old tool boxes I came across this old wrench I've had since I was a kid. My grandfather cleaned out attics and garages after he retired and I'm sure that's where I got this. Any ideas how old and where it came from. I believe Ford used to include a tool kit with...

Dave I've been out of the automotive business since 1984. I was a front end mechanic and we did a lot of front end work for the local Datsun dealership next door to our Goodyear shop. I would think it would have been the late sixties and seventies Datsuns. I also remember some of the German...

I remember using something like that years ago to change out the old style McPherson struts on Japanese vehicles. They had a outer tube with the cartridge inside held in by a threaded collar. The collar had two holes, or in some cases slots. You would use the spanner to turn out the collar to...

The old Mopar gear reduction starters. You could tell it was a Chrysler product cranking without even seeing the vehicle.

Coil hold down screws on Ford OHC engines 5.5 mm.

Picked up a set of aluminum jack stands today. Nice looking out of the box very light and easy to move around. Seem sturdy enough I believe they're rated at 3 ton. So far so good.

I bought the Lisle funnel after changing the thermostat in my son's Mercury Marauder and having an overheating issue. While the funnel dosen't leak while holding the coolant leval above the fill cap it also doesn't purge an air lock in the system. I learned from a Ford mechanic I know to crack...

Actually its not a garage but a dentist office but it kind of fits the criteria!

Top of the fridge also!

I'm pretty much a coffee hound and drink five to ten cups a day (black no sugar) between work and home. At work we put in five bucks a person bi-weekly and use Folgers ground coffee in an old Bunn commercial drip machine. At home, if I'm feeling lazy, I run down to the corner and get the 24oz...

Got the old Harbour Freight Special US General 7.5 80 gallon. I've had going on three years now without any problems.

Yes that's Rotarys DIY version. I bought mine back in 2008 at the Carlisle show. I think back then it could be had for like 2500.00 paid another five for installation and have been happy with it ever since.

I have the same problem where I live. At m local Sears, Lawrenceville, NJ, the tool department looks like the old photographs of the Soviet Union food stores back during the cold war, empty shelves, very little stock and sales people who don’t have a clue when it comes to tools. What is there...
