    Seat Belts

    Seat belts Look on line at the following link; http://www.seatbeltplanet.com/. This is the internet store front from Beams who makes most of the belts sold by aftermarket companies. I bought them for my '50 Ford (two 3-point and four lap belts) and the total cost was less than the quote from...

    inattentive drivers Here in the south central US the drivers who scare me the most are the ones who can't seem to function without their player blaring in their earbuds while driving. I pulled up beside a 20-something at a stoplight earlier this week and I could hear the music from his IPod...

    YES! It is a sickness

    A friend of mine has a right hand drive MGB-GT V8 that he imported from England and has the 215 in it. The only strange looking part is the redesigned manifold with SU (or Zenith) carb sitting on it.

    Underdash Master Cyl.?

    booster with disc brakes If you have to have a booster with 4 wheel disc then GM should have been in trouble years ago. My '67 Corvette Roadster came factory without a booster and it had 4 wheel discs. And I can't begin to count the number of late 60s up to about 1970 'vettes that came...

    mechanical temp gauge repair Yes it can be done, but it requires some expertise. I found a website that had step by step pics and instructions a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly it requires a sacrificial gauge to supply a new tube and the liquid it contains. The guy in the...

    electronic conversions I have been running a Crane XR700 Electronic conversion on my SBC since '99 without a single problem. Here is a link to what it looks like http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-700-0300. A lot of folks don't like it because it has an external box that has to be mounted...
