Bringing Back the Classic Gas-guzzler by
[email protected]
I'm wondering about the feasability of recreating the appearance of
classic American autos, like the '57 Chevy & such; but with lighter
materials and hybridized engines.
Imagine driving a '48 Studebaker -- but getting 50 miles to the gallon.
That's what I'm talking about. The bodies of immortal...

Methyl Hydrate by
mark
I see lots of folks who claim that putting an amount of methyl hydrate
in the tank prior to an emissions test, can help lower HC/CO
I am considering giving it a try on my older vehicle with a car that is
giving me fits being just barely over the edge on both HC and CO, but
believe it or not, I am...

Daimler steel/plastic "alloy" by
Don Stauffer
Buying a new Chrysler van, and the salesman was tauting a new "alloy"
that he said Daimler developed. He called it an alloy, but the
description seems to indicate a laminate, plastic on steel. I am
assuming it is a single layer of each. He said it provides both
corrosion resistance and sound...

are all engines the same? by
Jizzosh[_1_]
Alright, here's what I'm getting at: currently, the car I'm driving
before I get my liscense is an in-line 4 cylinder. Now, just say that
each cylinder has a displacement of .5 liters for each type of 4
cylinder(v, inline, boxer etc.), would they all have the same RPM? Or
does the crankshaft have...

Jumping a Car Battery by
Buck Turgidson
Just want to confirm the procedure to jump a battery - connect the 2
positives (red), then the negatives (black). Then disconnect starting with
the black?
For some reason, I had it in my mind that you connect the black first to
prevent an "open ground", but I guess I am wrong.
Appreciate any...

Car shaking after changing spark plugs by
Wei Hu
Hi,
Today I replaced the six spark plugs of my 94 Ford Taurus.
However, when I stop for red lights, the car shakes every one or two
seconds.
Does anybody know the reason?
Could it be that I didn't adjust the gap?
Thanks,
Wei

Mark A., again, your thinking is very old-fashioned when
it comes to comparing 0w-30 to 5w-30. As I said, you should
consider doing some current reading about the 2 viscocities.
Dr. A. E. Haas, a Florida physician and surgeon who has
researched fluid dynamics for decades, has written the...

Oil Pressure Gauge and Engine death by
CL (dnoyeB) Gilbert
Trying to get some lessons learned from my first car 'death.'
To make it short, the oil gauge started behaving curiously to me
probably last year this time. But since the oil light didnt come on,
and the pressure seemed high enough, nothing seemed wrong. This turned
out to be bad because the odd...
