    Question two stroke oil to diesel

    Forgot to mention the wheel bearings,Clem. My records indicate that the old girl has had four sets of front wheel bearings and three universals.

    water drain question

    The only way I can drain the water line from my fuel filter housing is to open the valve then loosen the filter cap to drain the thing. Wouldn't be a problem except the gasket is a pita to keep in place while tighting the filter back up. What am I doing wrong or what should I be doing? Many...

    Hinge pins

The trick is to cut the pin in half with a dremel then drive out first the top then the bottom. It helps to remove the top hinge bolts on the door side and just loosen...

    Plastic Headlight Lens

    It may be a small thing in the scheme of things but Fords Plastic Lenses really get my goat. Replacing the things is getting expensive and there seem to be no good ones left in the junkyards. Anybody solved these things
