turn signals and emergency flasher just stopped working
I was out driving today and the turn signals just stopped working. The indicator on the dash will come on but it no longer blinks. The outside lights don't come on at all. The emergency flasher won't do anything inside or outside the car. Headlights and high beams work fine. Wondering if the relay w...

Accelerator Cable replacement
I have a slightly frayed cable, and I'm curious how difficult is it to change the accelerator cable? Any tricks that you might have for simplifying the process? Anything I need to avoid doing?

Heater Concerns
So with it getting colder, I'm thinking about using the heater. I have heater boxes, cables hooked up and the levers work everything. Concerned about exhaust in the cabin; carbon monoxide etc.... What do I need to be checking and looking out for, to assure safe and proper function?

Heat Soak and cooling
I'm running a 1600 DP engine but have the original decklid on; so I know I'm not getting enough air to cool the engine properly. I have the "SaveMyBug" oil dipstick thermostat and it has never triggered the dipstick, so the oil temp is staying at 220 or below if the dipstick is to be belie...

Oil cooler seals for doghouse cooler

I'm wondering if the seals have a specific side that needs to go into the case and a side that must go into the adapter? Same questions with ...

Front Disc Brake conversion - dual circuit master cylinder
Hey guys - would love to know your thoughts on doing a front brake conversion to disc and replacing the single circuit master cylinder with a dual circuit cylinder? I know what the parts generally cost. Any idea what it would cost to have a shop do the work? I don't trust myself to do brakes. Thanks!

Took apart shifter coupler and removed the shift rod. Bushing was completely gone. Replaced the bushings in the coupler and put it all back together. Works so much better. Thanks for the help! This was my first major repair and it went pretty decently. Took me about four hours to dismantle, clean an...
