In July 2020 I bought a car cover off of amazon; My last experience was with a car cover I bought off Canadian Tire that I might best describe as pitiful. This one looked decent, but at first glance it was ALOT lighter weight than I had hoped especially since it was touted as being six layers. This is a link t...

Many of you know who Diego Rosenberg is. He's done a lot of automotive writing for many years. He is also a member of CP and has participated here on occasion. I found an interesting article that he put online today regarding horsepower ratings. It's a comparison gross vs net from the days when GM basic...

I bought a pair of 858 heads and a pair of 840 heads in Alabama. The seller took one head to UPS ( 70 LBS ) and got a price of $647 for all 4 shipped to my mail box in Niagara Falls NY. I got him to strap the 4 heads to a skid ( 320 LBS ) 26x40x12. Called Fastenal branch to branch delivery $185

I went to take a second look at a used vehicle yesterday. It was a 24,000 km 2020. I pulled the dip stick and black syrup was all I found. I then took a closer look at the engine to find that the oil filter was white with no label or print. I know from my 30 years of automotive assembly that Ford original, factor...

Wow. I have not kept up on the price of open car trailers. In 2007 bought a brand new 18' trailer, 2' dovetail, wood deck with a spare tire. I bought it in Nebraska, about 800 miles from home. My friend offered to bring it home for me with his new Duramax if I paid all the expenses. That trailer cost me about $2...

Working on my friends Cayenne, having weird electrical issues, led me to the BCM, body control module/computer. He had a sunroof drain blockage and some things got wet. I got theBCM out, opened it up and found a white stain, most likely from water. The unit sits vertically in the car and the stain is on t...

I recently stumbled across this 454 truck block, casting # 3969858, casting date B 26 70 (February 16, 1970). It's also cast MARINE up by the date code, and HI-PERF TRUCK PASS behind the flexplate. The flexplate has the couterweights for an externally balanced 454. I knew the 427 truck blocks had ta...

Found this line tag while going through some papers. I think it was from some seat I had bought at one time. Forgotten what it was from. For fun, anyone care to decode?

Well...sorry for the caption.but. This is a long story. Gave the company 6 months notice to my retirement. We went through 3 drivers and none could cut the mustard.

I know its not automotive related but I needed a clock radio for my son to use for an alarm clock. I dig up an old Sony cube radio and the standby battery needed a change. It must be twenty years old!

In 1997 my father passed away and I had his 1979 two door Chevrolet Caprice shipped out west from Ontario. I drove for about three years and didn't do much to it except having the transmission rebuilt. It was a great car but with four kids aged 16,14,12 and 10 it really wasn't a car for my troop. I bought a S...

That's a wrap. After 30 years of kicking cans Friday was my last day. Going to miss the customers but not the commute. Might have more time to hang around here now!
