    Glass color, does it devalue certain items if its oxidized/purple?

    Question for the gurus here with a picture below of one of the sets that isn't too bad. I have some older marker/turn signal lens covers from the 40's that are glass and a couple of them have oxidized and turned light purple, does that significantly devalue them?

    Cause of mis fire on RAM 1500!

    I think this is the cause of the misfire codes on a 2002 RAM 1500 4.7 I am working on for a neighbor. These are the two plugs from the cylinders with specific misfire codes, but the rest of the plugs are not much better and probably why its also throwing a general misfire code P0300. I have...

    Tech Tip: Throttle Cable length adjustment

    The Black Thermoquad!!!

    I got the Thermoquad back from coating and thought I would start a separate thread with it rather then just the throttle rods. I initially was just going to do the throttle rods, however, after further investigation and discussing the properties with the manufacturer of the Cerakote H146...

    Does anyone make a timing stencil? Tape is about worthless!!!!!

    Does anyone make a stencil that can be used to paint on timing marks? Would be nice to have some sort of stick on stencil that you could then paint over peel and have painted on timing marks. In my opinion, Tape is worthless, lost my 3rd one today, and I even took extra time cleaning the...

    Stover Nuts or Stage 8 collector bolts?

    Just wondering what everyone with headers is using for their collector bolts that do not come loose? It does not appear that double nut helps, and most supplied nut, bolt and lock washer setups suffer from heat expansion that cause them to come loose. Not a fan of tack welding the nut in place...

    not very symmetric? I have heard some people say that old MOPARs are not very symmetric meaning that stuff does not quite line up the same on the left as it does the right? I have noticed this while putting my 73 RR back together. Now, with that said, I have been able to get stuff in...

    Guy at Year One says most reproduction parts are junk!!!! LOLOLOL

    I must have hit a nerve with this guy at Year One today, as I was discussing why MOPAR performance does not produce water pumps with the correct housing any more because I got one that was right, but since then they all use the same housing used for the 6 blade pump now and is the same...
