  1. does it bog out of gear and setting still? if not and only under load....would think you may have condenser issue
  2. yes, and again....the crowd is now thinking other means to an end.....love it.....!!
  3. once can easily drill the plug, epoxy a cylindrical magnet readily available on the internet and or snag one from a damaged nut driver. You only locked into a supplier by lack of initiative. Free your creative side and be ye productive.
  4. on the install....put the plug to the hole, rotate counterclockwise till you feel/hear it snap into the start of the threads and you should be home free....this works for any nut/bolt when in tight areas of access or close tolerances of the threads or in this case the magnet pulling the threads off normal course. Of course, if left handed thread opposite action required.
  5. of greater recognition of time change, the bicyclist is actually stopped and obeying traffic lights......
  6. excellent, I have that same model, if you do more modern wheels with positive offsets....you may wish to weld a few extra thread cleats on the upper end of the post....I have had mine for at least 38 years now...you may find breaking the bead on some wider rims a two step process breaking the back bead first, then proceed as normal. I do not see your mount/demount bar, this can be had in generic form from NAPA or at least that is where I bought mine as it was missing. Last year I actually located the original mount demount bar at the wrecking yard....a happy find.
  7. you should be able to use the wheels from the commonly found Diplomat/5th Ave rear wheel drive cars. Take note on some older Mopars...at the front you may need a very thin spacer to prevent wheel bulge from radial hitting the tie rod ends. Also you will not be able to use your original hubcaps. Do not chunk your old wheels without removing the clips for the cap.
  8. 83 years later and people still don't like it....!
  9. a cottage industry is born, find these at many select Walmart stores or CVS pharmacies.......?
  10. this under color is normal, it is called ecosheen and can be greenish to a grayish color depending on year and place of assembly.....
  11. it is a known fact that in 2 foot of Canadian snow the green car stands out the best......easy to find where you left the dang thing.
  12. little late to the thread but looking at the pictures in post 1 you got to wonder if he is shooting to make this a battery operated hybrid...
  13. second car back far right, must be a special order euro taxi or patrol car in other than Panda dress colors....
  14. there is also the roll your own using rectangular steel tubing and flat stock...if you need a pinion angle correction....just cut the rectangular portion for that angle corrector then weld them up. Will require tools to cut metal and the welder....but avoids the need for the milling machine. Roll your own cost less if you have the tools on hand....no getting out without some pay to play.
  15. the filters are just one or two, at one time...you could sort by angle then by spring width. Same as axle perches where one could filter out the chaff. The trend is to force you into make and model so they can target you with other items it seems. Last time I bought perches at Summit the filters were in place for spring width and tube diameter. The search within results for some reasons takes me off the page I am supposed to be searching within and list products nowhere closely related. Many website have gone this change in search even our own site here where you have to use so many modifiers to narrow down the junk returns. I once used Summit site for checking availability as I do a fair bit of retrofitting as often you got specs....specifications are slowly being taken from all listing and the go-to make and model search is what the parts counter guy only has an understanding of as in...nope not listed, next in line please.
  16. I of late when retrofitting a drive train found a need for some 4 degree shims for the 1.75 spring width. I used WFO Concept brand and while a bit more costly, they are by far some of the best shims I have seen on the market. I was not involved with any lift/lowering, just setting the phasing of the driveline. Just one such product and the one I used. Summit has changed some of their search aspects and could not find a filter for angle or width. You have to sort by looking at each offering now it seems. WFO 4.0-1.75 for sale | eBay
  17. that pan is in need of some tweaks to bring the sealing surface level and smooth...this is classic signs of over tightening trying to extend the uefullness of a gasket
  18. the gravel shield some call it....others a valance.....it fits just behind and slightly lower than the front bumper's top lop and will contour to the body/grille...
  19. the D19 is typically a bit larger body than the lil sister Plymouth not to mention the curve of the butterfly could be distinctly different.
  20. clockwise to retard and about 4 degrees if using lower grade fuel experiencing pinging on grades
  21. See, now you talk all about your special IMPORT oil....might double the value of our car.....?
  22. glad you got a bit of time for the turkey truck....here it is a week later....the roof on the van is stripped....the roof gutter I have dug the old sealant out and glad I did, it did not look bad but compromised in three places and thankfully not very badly at that. Today I am sitting and waiting to see if I can get a second set of hands running the sealant in the now primed gutter as I am sure I cannot place and smooth that much of an area solo before skinning over on the sealant. So working a few smaller issues on other projects and playing fields.
  23. further, you did not state the make and model visor, they mount similar but with a few differences that make all the difference
  24. As you list New England as the area you reside, I feel reasonably sure Chicago is safe from any ill effect of your transmission lube choice.....?
