Re: Wet Black Soot Exhaust
What about 2 deuce, straight linkage? Do you hook up the vacuum and go in some series a little bit at a time until the vacuum drops off?

Re: Spare Tire - Stupid Question

Re: 8ba fan assembly bearing broken
Great info. I, too, have only 40 wt. in the fan reservoir currently. Would it be blasphemous to augment that with some STP type additive to thicken it up?

Re: WOW- Great Service
If you ever drive to Bonneville on I-80, stop and visit the Speedway complex. You will see a huge loading ramp with UPS trucks coming and going constantly. That is how you got your radiator so fast.
