Re: Name me a winter beater.

MEXICO That is my idea for a winter beater. We fly down this coming Sunday and return in April. :mrgreen: Sorry to rub it in, but have run out of excuses to stay in Barrie in the winter when I can't drive a convertible with the top down. Will and David, hope you make the best of it and I will have ...

Re: I learned something new today.

Constructive Criticism can also be applied to situations, that is if the person has both ears listening and brain engaged but if that fails, just 'tell it like it is'. :mrgreen:

Re: About how much to have heater core replaced?

Leaks will start off small and can be stopped for a while with a rad stop leak additive, which will keep you going until you are ready to do something with it. First thing you might notice is that when on defrost, it will fog the widndshield leaving a residue behind, if you have A/C you may notice d...

Re: About how much to have heater core replaced?

Take it to a rad shop and get a quote for a replacement core, that is their business. I recall paying about $250, a lot less than my usual mechanic had quoted.

Re: 2.6 is better than 2.2

I have defended the 2.6 many times as I have never had a problem with mine. It has a couple of quirks but it has been like that for the 22 years that I have had the car. The car is stored every year for the winter and come spring I put the battery back in, fire it up and listen for the same sounds I...

How many other 31 year old cars are still on the road and have a decent body? I had a '71 Austin America, ( a slightly larger...

Re: Remote start for carburated K-cars

The early remotes had a soloniod that would pull the carb linkage to set the choke. I doubt that they are still available. That was a simple problem to solve, now the remote starts have to deal with all the anti-theft syatems, not something the average person can do.
