    Buying a car out of state

    FWIW, all these cars have the same emissions systems, "when created". Since these cars are older and may have had several owners, the original system may have been modified. A number of states require no emissions inspection for annual registration, so removal or gutting of the cats is no...

    Put-in-Bay summer 2006 meet

    Love that part of the country. Drove (boated) in an Aquacar from Catawba Island (not really an island) to South Bass Island back in the late 60s. A college friend's family had the TV antenna business on South Bass. So with camping allowed in their backyard and 3.2 beer, life was great...

    Bad bushings do they all need replacement?

    Quote I still don't understand the need to go with T-bird control arms. Why? Do they come with grease fittings? It's not the fitting, it's the price. The Tbird LCA costs less than half of the Mark LCA. And these parts are exactly the same, with different numbers. Check it out the pricing at...

    Need Help - Suspension problems/noises

    Well, you need to keep going. Remove the rotor to determine whether the issue is with the rear hub asssembly or the CV half-shaft assembly or both.

    Are you from Pittsburgh?

    Quote Hmmm, I think spring break is much more fun.So tell me, what's #4: 4 You've told your children to "red up" their rooms. Red up would be similar to getting a room ready for guests or just cleaning it up. You may think spring break is more fun, but 1 million hunters are in the PA woods...
