Re: e-brake spring R&R without a buddy
I always take a pair of wire cutters, slip the jaws under the end of the spring, compress the spring, grip the cable with the wire cutters, install the end in the lever, and release the cable. John

Re: Engine clicks when manually turning it
It's hard to diagnose a noise without hearing it, but if you engaged the starter without starting the engine, the starter drive will be engaged with the flywheel. It has a ratchet built into it,...

Re: Tappit noise
312s have solid lifters, they should sound the same, hot or cold. Either you don't have a 312 or you have some other noise. John

Re: Gas sender
