GM solved the multifunction stalk already, and it works really well. They managed to make an intuitive way to:

The kid at the shop forgot to fill the rear diff on a to-be-delivered project Defender that I drove home. Scary is when the diff locks up on the highway, and you slow down real fast, like the E brake got yanked. Call it a shakedown run, I called it code brown.

That is pretty cool! Sounds like a British Seagull, or some ancient Evinrude that’s also wicked sweet. Getting crafty with whatcha got is key when fixing old outboards. Some of the parts are made of unobtanium, and it becomes a challenge keeping them alive.

I work on carburetors almost all the time on small outboards. They’re a little different than automotive carbs, but they’re close enough. The tools in your arsenal are https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MCC6402, an air compressor with a rubber tipped nozzle, a hunk of thin, stiff wire, flat razor for scraping off old…

I had owned one of these when my old truck died, and I needed wheels that week. Found it right up the street, and I’m still friends with the previous owner. They’re wicked cheap, very comfortable, and I was breaking 30mpg on my trip to Indy. I installed a class 3 hitch, and pulled my boats with it. It’s a shame Mazda…

This is what I thought about when I think about rust.

Welp, sorry to burst your bubble, but most of Eurrup is littered with shitty econoboxes. American muscle does add a bit to spice things up. Grass is always greener on the other side.

Not really wrenching, but I did an inside/outside patch before the Pats game.

I’ll just leave this here.

Came here for that, left satisfied. Cadillacs should have proper names. I have no clue, aside from the Escalade, what they sell and what they look like, much like the people that they are trying to sell. Infiniti is the worst offender. The world needs cooler cars with better names. Now gimmie an El Dorado!

You must have had a Wednesday one. The vacuum control secondary would periodically close as it leaked vacuum. A new carb was a few hundred bucks, and that wasn’t going to happen. Garbage carb.

It must have been a race to see who could build the cheapest truck that was still street legal. BTW, the ECU controlled vacuum line nightmare carb on the B2200 was unfixable. The Toyota carb on the 20R was much better to rebuild and tune.

I had the same truck, and didn’t realize that cars didn’t have a day/night mirror. That truck brought a whole new meaning to the term spartan.

The world needs more targa top.

Throw that all out, and insert a blank canvas.

Cannot unsee...

He’s talking to the ketchup again.

I’m digging the next model. I love the 60's look, and it doesn’t have to conform to the current terrible style of these new shiny little boxes. I’d totally buy into this.
