Re: Dual plug heads.
A friend of mine had a Honda Goldwing with two distributors and what a nightmare that was to set up. He did eventually buy an expensive tool to help but sold it soon afterwords.

Re: Buying an out of state car on the internet
Even the difference between looking at a car from 20 feet and up close can make a huge difference. Mind you the best Model As will not look as though they have just rolled off the production line....

Re: Garage heat
Do you want the heat to allow you to work on the car? Keeping a car in an artificially heated environment is a great way to speed up the rusting process. Using a gas or fuel burner that produces a...

Re: exhaust
I have just fitted a new exhaust. It had a sticker on it telling me not to use a gasket so I did not. The downpipe needs to be lined up on the manifold then the clamp placed correctly. The diameter...

Re: Ridiculouster
I think it's great. A good example of how invention and ingenuity has allowed a 90 year old car to still be working in 2017. Much better than so many of the trailer queen fakes.
