Re: Anti-freeze Separation ?
Antifreeze is completely hygroscopic. The two substances combine into one.
The only way this can happen is that they were added separately and then left uncirculated.
You didn't say if the car...

Re: Pot metal Carb. cleaner
A couple-few comments to add:
1. The Gunk and Napa stuff are identical to one another.
2. On these early Carbs you have to be careful not to forget them for months. A longer soak can cause more...

Re: Car is Stopping Dead.. Locking Up...Help
Your problem only occurs when under load, so pulling the Drive Shaft won't tell you anything other than that the engine runs when not under a load, which (if I read your earlier post correctly) is...

Re: What make is this Town Car?
I believe this is in fact a Hodge Podge.
The wheels, as well as the Cowl Lights and Hood Lowers do look Chevy-like. However, the Hood's slope does not.
The Rear portion, as well as the vertical...

Re: white walls a little yellow
I'm the the Wesley's Club as well.
Go to the drive-thru wash, work your way around the car from one wheel to the next. Grab a stack of Quarters and hit them with 'Rinse' from about an inch away. ...

Re: Searching for a Short
To expand on Mitch's remarks above, fuses CAN fail on their own. Like anything else, they fatigue as they age.
I also concur with using breakers during trouble-shooting. I went to the Truck...

A hydrometer cannot tell you the current state of charge. It can give an indication of a battery's ability to take and hold a charge, based on the specific gravity of the electrolyte. It is not and...

Re: Leaning Car
Cool.
To check for bad bushings you again need to have things un-loaded and use a pry bar anywhere they might deflect. Pry against something that CAN'T move (such as the Frame). When in doubt,...

Re: Worth saving?

Is this one of those internet photo-editing tricks or was the car simply going faster than the camera's shutter speed?

Re: Leaning Car
Seems you have a bad bearing(s) or loose Hub nut.

These used to be a 'walk in to any parts store and walk out' item, but times have changed.
