    You don't need lock up on a TH350C. You should have lockup on a 700R4. Needed to lube the overdrive planetary gear set.

    Mirror correct for ‘81?

    The small (car style) mirrors were the stock standard mirrors. The larger mirrors were an option.

    Front end lifts when turning

    When set up correctly, the steering geometry will lift each side in turn. This aids the steering to return to center. If one side is lifting more than the other something is not right.

    getting stuck

    Old VW bugs had that built in every car. The parking brake between the front seats had two cables, one for each rear wheel. Easy to pop off the cable for the wheel with traction, pull the handle and stop the spinning wheel.

    Instrument cluster lights

    Okay instrument lights, power from the parking/ taillight fuse to the headlight switch. Through the dial resistor in the switch back to the fuse panel. Through the 5 amp fuse then to the connector on the instrument panel. Lots of places to loose a connection. So split up the system like this...

    305 on propane getting 4 MPG

    I did understand. I posted a real world analogy using heating oil as an over the road fuel. Since there are a lot fewer propane units, no real way to check where the operator got the fuel. But big brother is watching!

    305 on propane getting 4 MPG

    Well if you brought in an empty can and took it home to fill your truck, they would not know. That would make you liable for the tax. Again fines etc. So you have a diesel fork lift, yes you get home heating oil and fill you fork lift. Home heating oil has a red dye in it. Put some in your...

    305 on propane getting 4 MPG

    The problem is the retailer knows they are supposed to charge the motor fuel tax. More or less a dead giveaway if you pull up to the dispenser and say fill it up. I would believe most retailers will not chance getting a big fine and maybe loosing the right to even sell propane.

    305 on propane getting 4 MPG

    One more thing about buying propane as a motor fuel. The government adds a motor fuel tax, per gallon. The metered fuel propane needs to be taxed. Since the price is by weight, the fueling meter will show a calculated gallon amount so it can be taxed.

    305 on propane getting 4 MPG

    As Rick stated you can not calculate your miles per gallon. Your tank may have a 20 gallon capacity but in the USA propane is sold by weight. Also the amount you receive varies by temperature. You need to calculate miles per dollar. Compare that to a gasoline vehicle. That tank probably equals...

    1973 AMC Hornet

    Back in the early '70s the company bought a lot of those Hornets, 1973s and 1974s. The meter readers used them. We had our own fuel pumps then, regular leaded fuel. Knowing unleaded fuel was coming, the company did not buy any '75 or '76 cars to give time to get the pumps and tanks switched...

    Loud crack from accelerator pedal.. no power, kicks back in?

    The throttle cable or linkage is binding. Rusty cable? Throttle plates in the carb could also be an issue.

    Deleting emissions,read this article.

    So how much money is actually paid for these VAVR vehicles? What percentage would the amount pay for a replacement vehicle? My guess not much. In some cases, they go to third world countries. No one there worries if a poorly repaired wrecked Tesla blows apart. Tesla isn't on the hook for any...

    Noise not likely blower motor/wheel—what else?

    If it is a buzzing noise, may just be some leaf trash that got in the housing.

    Yes, most likely it is mechanical. If not, it has been changed and can easily be corrected back.
