I need a sealed battery for my 40 Ford Coupe. The Exide Orbiter battery I have lasted 7 years but is no longer made & years back I have heard bad things about Optima batteries, so does anyone know of a good battery? A replacement Optima goes for 160.00 & a Sears Diehard Platinum goes for 180.00 so I'm looking in that price range. Thanks for your help.

I've got a 61 Ranchero project, I bought it after it got the V-8. One of my problems is the exhaust manifold bangs on the steering box when I punch it. Well I'm still a rookie on modifing so I'd like to ask for some advice. Another problem is I have limited resources so I've been thinking of ways to deal with this on the cheap until the funds are available. Heres my idea, I would flip the manifolds to where they would be upside down and the exhaust would be pointing out towards the front then have 2 curved exstensions made so the pipe would clear the steering box. What do you guys think, sound doable?

I have what appears to be an older style shift indicator sending unit that connects directly to the LED indicators without passing through a digital converter. The LED indicators are off a little (shift into drive and neutral stays lit) Does anyone know how to adjust this? Tried down at the sending unit attached at the trans but no luck. I was expecting to find a converter under the dash and that would have made it easy. Didn’t expect to find it direct wired. Don’t know the brand or where it came from. Going to query the original owner too but thought I’d see if anyone here has seen this setup. Thanks for the help. Todd

I had Motor City Steel add Hooker LT Headers and a Borla Catback system to my White 1999 Trans Am about a 1000 miles back. I notice that the sound is coming mostly from the left side exhaust tip, and the white paint is turning yellow around the exhaust tip but only on the left side. Any comments/ideas would be appreciated. Randy

I have a 1934 Chevy Sedan Delivery, 350 motor, 350 trans. The problem I am having is at 2400 RPM in drive I get a swish swish swish sound. It gets worse the faster you go. When this sound comes I put the car in neutral and keep the RPM 2400 and the sound goes away. I think it's in the torque convertor or the trans. If anyone has had this problem or may have and ideas please respond. Larry

I know next to nothing about engines and frame and bodies and installing clutches, but I am willing to do whatever I have to learn all I can. I've tried all the local places but none of them are willing to teach anything. What do I do? Where do I go? What do I read? Thanks for your help, God bless, Bo

I have been told that the m22 or rock crusher is far superior to other trannys. Now this gets around to how do you tell them apart? When you go to the swap meets every one has two answers
1. I bought it this way
2. I have the codes to tell you what it is

I would like to know if anyone can suggest an original style cowl lacing I can use on my 1932 Ford Roadster that will not stick to the hood. I installed Vintique's original style lacing, I like the original style look. However, it sticks to the hood and I am afraid it will take the new paint off. Ken

I recently took a 41 Cad. coupe street rod in trade. It has a Buick 455 with a 400 trans. The builder installed a 1983 Cad. rear end. The gearing is way to low for this trans. At 55mph the engine is turning 3000rpm. My question is; will differential gears from a Chev or other GM product work in this Cad. rear end? I want to get as tall a gear in the rear end as possible.

I have a 23 T-bucket with a 327 chev. engine. I can,t get the engine to heat up over 150 deg. If I sit and idle for about 10 minuets I can get the engine to heat to 200. When I turn on the fan it will drop to about 180. As soon I start to drive the temp will drop to 150 again. I can drive 20 miles with no fan and it will stay at 150.I have a 180 thermostat,a high flow water pump.After 5 miles I will stop and the top of the radiator is hot but the lower hose is still cold. I put on a clear upper radiator hose to check flow and it pumps into the top of the radiator fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks George

Hi...I'm looking for some help and/or suggestions about the vinyl upholstery in my '32 roadster. It's a low gloss/"flat" maroon vinyl. When I use a protectorant such as Vinylex the color really "jumps out" and has a bright hi-gloss finish. After a short period of driving, the protectorant wears off. I'm afraid if I keep using this type of protectorant that it may "rot" the threads.
Does anyone know of a product that " penetrates" the vinyl or is much longer lasting than the above? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Ken Smith

I presently have 15" Halibrand Knock-offs with P195/60 front & P285/70 rear onmy 32 Ford Roadster. I would like to change wheels & tires to 17" front & 18" rear, since there are a wider range of wheel/tire packages available. My concern is: 1). Will the larger wheel distort the suspension travel since the frame was built around 15" wheels. 2). Since most 17"/18" wheels support low profile tires, the center and over-all height will change, is that a concern? Speedo calibration? Thanks for your help. Jim

I am not too sure when it comes to wiring an alternator. I now have an alternator that has more then one wire to it. I just got a new one in Chrome and it is a single post. SO the question is what do I do with the other wires running to the old one? Need help and diagram to show just what to do. Rob
