I'm attempting to change the bulbs on my 67 now and I must admit it has been a very frustrating experience. I have the speedo and tach disconnected and the oil line still attached. I really don't want to touch it as its bone dry and does not leak. I see enough extra line at the fire wall (coils) so I'm not worr...

It’s likely you’ve read in the past about some poor soul whose cars went up in flames and he didn’t have insurance coverage. But what if he had insurance? Would the pain be any less great? When you’ve owned a car for 44 years, no amount of insurance can cover the loss or pain. Here’s the story of John Hibbel...

I have A/C and running a 16" Spal High Output puller electric fan. It has the straight blades and is really noisy. I'm thinking of buying the Spal 16" High Output curved blade fan for less noise. I have heard they are much quieter. Any opinions?

There isn't anything easy about working on a C2. To replace the battery I had to drain and remove the expansion tank, move heater hoses, work around A/C lines, and stand the batteries on end to get them in and out. Then reverse the same stuff. Took me two hours to do a 5 minute job on my daily drivers.

Well, my cheap NAPA 60amp re-manufactured Delco-Remy alternator started making crackling noises when my a/c and electric fan are both on.
