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.

1965 Oldsmobile 442 - 2023
40,068….. I started off the 2023 season today. A real quick check of fluids and air pressure in the tires and I was ready to start. No starting fluid required today, just some typical Rochester pumping of the carb and it fired off. I sat and idled so nicely while I checked for leaks, which there are...

Re: 2018 GMC Terrain
47,090 … With no snow in the immediate forecast and a sunny and 50 degree Saturday morning staring me in the face, I swapped on my summer tires and put the snows on the rack. I think I have one more season left in the before it’ll be time to decide on getting a new set or not. For now, summer tires ...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
WXO, I’m not certain about your feelings on this, but when I had my C5 I changed the whole carrier when I did a gear ratio upgrade. It wasn’t that expensive to do and I got a factory set up for under $400 ready to bolt in. I know nothing about the rear end in your car but I’m throwing this out there...
