    Windshield washers

    I really don't care for the washers being attached to the wipers on my 88 Jimmy. I am thinking of trying to change them to a mounted sprayer that covers more of the windshield. Has anyone tried this already? I would like to gather knowledge on the subject. Thanks.

    air cleaners for tbi or edelbrock carbs.

    Living in AZ, you could register as a classic vehicle and not need emissions. Well, they changed that last year, so now I had to put classic insurance on it and don't have to do emissions.

    Heat/AC Blend Doors

    I noticed after the weather warmed up in the afternoons that I was getting warm air through the vents even when everything was off. I had replaced the heater core a few weeks prior and I know the temp adjustment worked, because after it heated up in the morning on my drive to work, I would have...

    Factory Correct Gauge Colors?

    I would not clear coat it. I had polished the gage cover on my Toyota 4X4 and over the course of a year in the AZ sun and heat, it was as clear as the day I did it. We will see how long it lasts on Big Red.

    Double Din Radio

    The only reason I want to put a double Din in a different location is that the stereo is already so hard to see in the lower spot that I wonder how hard it would be to use. I have been thinking of the upper bezel and relocation the ac controls, or doing it in the dash pad and eliminate or...

    Factory Correct Gauge Colors?

    Greatest thing I have found when the plastic covering is scratched and hard to see through is Mother's chrome polish and the Power Ball Mini. I did mine and I can see my gages a lot better and brighter now.
