    Nylock on an outer tie rod? Would you trust it?

    probably due to too much use of 'female dog' to describe any/all women. therefore implying YOU would force a woman to remove the nylock and call her names while she did it. (according to your sentence structure) ahh grammar, thou art a cruel mistress. ;)

    Can it be saved

    sorry for dragging the post further off topic; the reason so many members said 'scrap and send it to ME' is that USED to be a very common phrase. it was ALWAYS intended to the person posing the question, that whatever they had, it was worth the responder's effort/money to have it and love on...

    Do I need a block heater?

    a block heater for an sbc is cheap. a block heater will NOT hurt your starting ability if you plug it in but it's not really cold outside. :) a block heater can make starting easier in really cold climates, whether carb'd or injected, by make the 'rolling parts' roll easier initially. as...

    Does anyone know what this is

    my truck has both. one is just a switch (on/off). the other drives the gauge (variable resistance rather than binary on/off). both are plugged into a T then in behind the distributor. lots of answers, i don't know nothing myself. my truck had a hose/fluid line someone put on the other side...

    Stereo install from new to oem

    you can get the installation kit for the squarebodies. it is a kit for putting a din mount in squarebody. the face plate it comes with, however, has the traditional 2 shaft style layout. (you can also 'knock out' that layout for a full din) so you get a 2 shaft, din mount radio that will look...

    Tracking device for square bodies?

    i'm sure there are consumer lo-jack type device that will work just fine. they don't rely on the vehicle 'gizmos'. it's self contained. i have aprs trackers in all my vehicles but that's a ham radio licensed device. this is also a self contained device that doesn't use anything from the...

    Yet another bleeding brake post

    i'm not sure i'm understanding what you're trying to accomplish. (that's my fault not yours). the p-valve is a path of least resistance kind of thing. so if the valve is shutting off the back brakes, i 'caused' the fluid to 'flow rapidly' out the opposite side of the valve (front brakes) which...

    Please forgive me...

    yeah, i'm a little jealous. an unassuming dart with a factory v8 always comes back in my mind as a 'car i'd like to have'. :)

    Where is the radio antenna routed on an 88 suburban

    in the early 70s, we would drive from blue springs (suburb kinda near kansas city) to herman missouri. (visiting grandparents) we would listen to kcmo the whole way on am radio. it is still out there obviously but with more man made noise and less am optimized receivers, it's not as easy any...

    Where is the radio antenna routed on an 88 suburban

    if you really want AM, it's going to come down to your radio. factory radios, up to a certain point, had ferrite bar antennas INSIDE the radio and that was what was used for AM. FM reception used the exterior antenna. why? well, the difference in wavelength between the 2 broadcast frequency...

    not-shiny bumper bolts?

    when we say 'caps' do we mean a separate part that snaps on the bolt or just calling the rounded end of the bolt, the 'cap' ?
