    I don't understand how mammals survive such cold temperatures.

    My short answer to that question SS is, our Creator who made them gave them everything they needed to endure, and strive in the climate that they are in. I do believe in limited adaptation, we see salt water fish that can survive just fine in fresh water where rivers enter the oceans, and...

    Curious about the zinc in break in oils......

    Thanks mike, I just changed out the Lucus SAE 30 I used to break in a 440. Did not see a non detergent listing on the label. Listing on the jug states 'NOT legal for street use', I assume that's because of the extra zinc added that must accede some federal regulations now. I left it in there...

    Curious about the zinc in break in oils......

    Zinc is an element that we use in our motor oils to ensure minimum wear during engine break in. We are told this is essential in avoiding cam/lifter failures at start up. We buy infused zinc motor oil, zinc oil additives , and , I assume the cam lube paste we apply directly to the lobes also...

    UFOs or UAPs are real

    As James Gregory once said, "Absolutely, there is no life out there on other planets, if there was, the US would be already sending them foreign aid."

    Cost to rechrome a bumper

    Had several done two years ago, the Impala 3 piece was $750 each, 73 Charger was $650, as were the Chevelles. All were fairly good cores and I drove them the two hour trip. My 68 GTX cores were just too rough to redo, so, AMD repops were $425 each. All my past platers who have closed all say...

    What number oil pan needed for 68 GTX...

    You are correct R/T, I tore up my share of motors in the days of my youth and those days are long gone. Im at the point of my time left on the planet to get as many of my projects completed and in the hands of the next generation of caretakers. It's up to us old farts to leave some wonderful...

    What number oil pan needed for 68 GTX...

    Thanks guys, the 6 quart pan seems to be the best bang for the buck in the repo line, but I don't see me needing the two extra quarts. But I DO for sure like a "thick gauge" pan as possible. I do have several 187 pans in good shape, is it possible or practical to add some baffles to one of...

    What number oil pan needed for 68 GTX...

    Guys, original engine/trans was missing from my 68 when purchased and am putting a 67 dated engine together. In the listing for a 68 convertible here, I noticed the oil pan was stamped 402. Is that OEM correct and are there any other number pans that will work with no problems, thanks

    R134a. Has anyone else been hoarding it?

    As I understand things, the Dupont family held the patent on R12 and patents are good for about 20 years. So, it became 'harmful" and America replaced it with R134A, also owned by that family. I suspect that 20 year patent has or is about to expire. Can we guess who might own the replacement...

    To Badge GTX or Not

    My two cents, I have done six frame off restos on GM cars and two rotisserie restos on Mopars. Mopars have fender tags, and unless those are removed or altered, future owners will always know the cars true identity. While a car is only original one time, they can be restored an infinite number...
