the adjustable ballast resistor is preferred. it doesn't get sporatic, you set it to the value you need and it stays there.

They have been slowly eliminating Chlorinated solvents since the sixties because people don't follow the simple instructions of using rubber gloves and proper ventilation, (sounds like gasoline to me), it wont be long and chlorine bleach aka sodium hypochlorite will be banned even though it is...

depending on the quality of the clearcoat it will remove the paint or do nothing... any methylene based solvents are known to dissolve enamels, and so are MOST (not all, some are very friendly, such as those used for dry cleaning) chlorinated solvents. Trichloroethylene, for example is a...

I used to attend Blue Lodge with one of Loctite's Midwest Rep's. Their reference to excessive engagement length is based on three times the diameter of the bolt width. I learned a lot from Jim, God Rest His Soul, I also got a lot of samples and other Loctite products.

This is why it is imperative to start with the proper sized bit/socket, and not one that is worn or marginal, and use a pneumatic impact driver. The pounding action breaks the adhesion of paint, and rust, as well as locking compounds such as Loctite. Moving up to this from lesser means of...

You can disagree all you want, but the fact is I learned auto mechanics on vac advance distributors and have been working on them when they were the high tech distributors, and the best thing on the market. I cut my teeth on the cars that most here only see on TV. In your summary of the vac...

The problem with all that rotational force is the ease that you can twist a seized bolt off with, when it is a narrow diameter screw... Taking you back to the drill and tap...

Blue Loctite should break loose without heat. If you need heat, you are causing differential expansion to aid the bolt in breaking loose. The blue Loctite is only acting to prevent vibration from causing the bolt to walk out... What you really need is an air impact ratchet or air impact driver...

In Wisconsin it is "usability based". cooling, charging, AC & heating, window leakage, premature rust through and similar issues that affect suitability of use issues, the Drive train is covered under different laws due to the MFG warranty.

don't worry about the warranty check into your State Lemon Laws this is a third time and most states consider that a lemon especially after the first two under warranty. If you bought it new they MAY end up replacing the top at their cost. here in Wisconsin the dealer & Manufacturer would be...

Just a quick note: since your profile doesn't list a location, it would be a good Idea to list it here, so that cost of delivery can be considered in the transaction...

Terry, id you yank bushes a lot make a choke piece out of steel cable (loop on one end hook on the other) OR use a small link high strength chain, the cable just loops once and goes through its one eye loop and hooks to the vehicle, the chain comes back from the vehicle wraps twice then comes...

Been doing a handful of the annual maintenance things as well as replace the rear upper shock mounts on my O6 TJ (who ever came up with that factory design should be castrated) When I finished up I did something I do fairly regularly, and wondered if anyone else does it: Since I generally...
