Original Carb Rebuild
41,385… Well, it literally took a year for the second phase of carb rebuilding to come to a close. About three weeks ago, I took a Saturday morning and rebuilt the original carb. I had about three hours of my time in the rebuild, which included resetting the float height and drop, both of which were...

Transmission Fluid Change
54,123…. The manual calls for a routine trans fluid change every 70,000 miles. I had mine changed yesterday. With all the shifting this thing does with its 9 speed, I figured I’d treat it to a fluid change early. I also had the battery checked, and it tested good. It should be noted that the fluid c...

Re: 1965 Oldsmobile 442
Did the console already have accommodations for installing the gauge? WXO, Yes sir! There were three options for what goes in that spot from the factory, a tachometer, vacuum gauge, or a rocket emblem. I’ve completed the trifecta now, the 442 has had all three since I’ve owned it. There was no cust...

Vacuum Gauge Install
41,000 …. I found a sweet deal on Ebay on a factory vacuum gauge for the 442. For under $100 I got the gauge shipped to me and purchased the new vacuum hose and the brass fitting to connect the hose to the intake manifold. It took me a couple of hours to do the install, but when I was done it worked...

Re: 2018 GMC Terrain
51,493…. I have a bit of a vacation starting tomorrow, so I Kicked it off by doing a routine oil change. Mobil 1 and filter. Nothing crazy to report. I did use the air hose to blow out a bunch of small sand-like pebbles out of the engine compartment. Driving on roads that are perpetually under const...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
Did you check the springs in the distributor? I think that if the springs are too weak,
you’ll be getting the detonation you’re hearing.

Transmission Mount Replace
40,540….On the last few rides, I started to notice a shudder when the car was put into reverse. The first couple of times I wrote it off to this being an old car, but on my last Sunday drive it became obvious that the issue was getting worse. I checked under the car and was able to move the trans up...

I have a timing light you can use. Don’t buy one!

Re: 1965 Oldsmobile 442
40,248 … Last August I purchased a pile of 425 parts from a guy and part of the deal was a set of factory steel valve covers. I’ve been working on this project for a few months now, obviously! I wasn’t a fan of the PCV system that was incorrect for the car and I was hating on the cheap chrome valve ...

Remote fob battery replacement
49,502… I went to take the Terrain to work this morning and was greeted with a message on the dash telling me that the vehicle couldn’t detect the remote fob. It was in the center console. Hmmmm… I tried the cycle three times with the same result, so I hit the door locks buttons on the fob and the l...

Oil change / Chassis lube
40,219.. Today I did a routine oil change/chassis lube. 5 qts. 10w-40 and a new Napa 1049 oil filter. The oil was barely dirty, but I keep a pretty old school “once a year” plan going for this car. All of the grease fittings took a pump of grease. While I was checking stuff over, I wiggled the front...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
Good thinkin', GM. I'll see if I can find a 10mm-1.5 bolt. Did you ever think you'd have to think of exhaust manifold studs in millimeters :? :( I’ve never been a fan of metric bolts on vehicles. At least your car has all metric bolts on it as opposed to the late 80’s when GM was converting over to...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
The holes look good from the pictures. I would have a bolt that is
the correct size handy in case the stud is crooked and the flange
of the converter won’t fit over all of the studs. A bolt could be put
in last after the two studs are started. Just a thought.
