Ricky, it is unlikely that if your car is stolen that you could be held responsible if the thief hurts or kills someone. The vehicle is out of...
Titling is way different in each state. There are "strong titling" and "weak titling" states. For example, here in Pa., getting a title for a car...
It's easy to have trouble refitting the bolts. The one I replaced with on my '75 had a slew of holes. Took me a minute to figure out that I was...
I did that on advice on a Subaru I used to have. Made a huge difference after it had a chance to work. Pretty much smoked out the neighbors after...
Very true but the point being that you still have to be careful with an interference engine regarding timing period.
Well, not as much progress as I'd hoped by this time, but I'm not in a big rush. Put new rubber on it and obviously the ride was improved...
The good thing is that the 250 is pretty much bulletproof and if you do go out a tooth or so, you shouldn't do any real damage (especially if you...
I got the Mav home yesterday but I found that by all appearances, the heater control valve is stuck closed, no heat. The vacuum hose isn't the...
Other than obvious body & trim parts, many parts are the same between the Maverick and Comet. There are some suspension and steering parts that...
Well, the other day, the '75 finally went on a short maiden voyage after it's 20 year coma. It amazes me no end how far we came with it...
Saw a kinda sad sight yesterday. A couple weeks back, one of my deputy friends, a car guy himself, told me in conversation that he happened upon a...
The switch is the most likely culprit. Still, checking the wiring is a prudent thing to do also. I wouldn't think that the switch malfunctioning...
It's been slower than I wanted it to be but we are making progress. The car runs. It almost surprisingly came to life easier than we thought after...
If it was stored in a good place, and it sounds like it was, there should be no issue using it. You have no idea how long something has been...
I wish it was that simple. 20 years of sitting has taken it's toll though it could be very much worse than it is. The great thing is what I don't...
You have to understand my friend, each state decides on how they are going to handle titling and registration. There is no Federal standard. Some...
I agree with Krazy. Usually carbon fouled plugs are caused by a rich mix. You already said you had carb issues so that's where I would go first.
I know you can get a new title in Florida. Costs $300. Have a trooper friend there. Used to be able to get one in NY. There used to be brokers...
Finally got the Mav running this week. For a 20 year sitting engine (250) it took relatively little to get it running again. Valves are a bit...
Yesterday finally got to work on the green Mav. The big issue was whether or not the engine was totally free and turned out it is. At first,...
Separate names with a comma.
