    Looking for tools and tips to make working on my car easier and faster

    When i was ranting about the fact that it took me 5 hours to change 1 motor mount and that it's hard to do because there is so little working room people kept mentioning they can do it faster because they have superior tools and techniques or people asking what tools i have. Well i'd like to...

    Rant: I hate chrysler

    Let me tell you something: It was NOT a great idea to put a big block (440 in my case) in that (to) SMALL engine bay! You can't reach ****. There is almost no working room, kinda like a modern car. Even something "simple" like changing spark plugs makes you want to scrap the car. Don't get me...

    Should i remove my fender tag?

    I'm thinking about removing my fender tag (just held on with 2 screws) and keep it together with all the other documentation of my car because i fear it could be stolen and then i can't prove that my car is a real r/t.

    First road trip with my 69 charger (Gone wrong)

    I'm regularly watching Vice Grip Garage, the guy that drives cars which sat in a field and haven't run in 10, 20, 30 years for hundreds of miles after doing some basic stuff to get them running and braking. Well my car hasn't been sitting in a field or not been running in 30 years. It still...

    Best typ of cars to buy (in my opinion)

    - Original, Unrestored - Very low original mileage (15k or less) - Always taken care of / stored dry inside - The less it had seen a mechanic, the better - Ideally from an older person that wasn't driving much - Looks like stated above & can be proofed - Pre excessive electronics and computers...

    Manual vs auto, which accelerates faster?

    So lets say 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T 426 3 speed auto vs 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T 426 4 speed manual I imagine the 4 speed manual equipped car probably has a higher top speed because of the extra gear. As far as i know you loose about 10% more power with the automatic but it also shifts faster...

    Will my NOS parts still work?

    I bought a NOS water pump and thermostat (both still in the original box and mint looking) which i plan on installing as soon as its getting warmer outside. I know i should have asked this question prior to purchase but do you think those will still work fine? My plan was to simply install them...

    Where's that noise coming from?

    Since i picked up my car from the shop its making this "ticking" noise. See attached video. Already pulled the valve cover but everything looks to be okay. (Now back on) My guesses (im not a professional mechanic / sure though): - It seems like it comes from the driver side. - It also seems to...
