What new tools have you got lately?
Three new tools. The greaser thing works nice if you can get straight to the fitting, but if you need a right angle, forget it. Missed two fittings on car because if this. Its too big. The borescope from amazoon was cheap, like $60 (Not sure), but its got like 10 feet of cable. What the hall... -
Do I need different gears with 33” tires and 4” lift
You should remember, bigger heavier tires weigh more, and take more power to spin up. yes, you need lower gears, but just weigh the tires and wheels. I bet you add 50 lbs at each corner. The diameter of the bigger tire is directly affecting gearing, but weight is the enemy to acceleration. I had...- justhorns

Careful buying online- Camaro 1979
Oh, and the usual funny. Guy who built the car put the new edelbrock carburetor on the engine and slammed the hood. Air cleaner retaining bolt went into the hood, so to fix it... add a hood scoop!- justhorns

What have you done to your square lately??
Here in Colorado, we don't get much rain, but yesterday we had a steady rain from hilary and harold storms... I drove with my wipers on and they worked great. Put alot of time into the wipers and not sure of how long they would work before another failure. They were on steady for about an hour... -
One piece window conversion??
I have no A/c and love my vent windows. The drivers side whistled, and I got a (about) $10 kit from LMC for a new handle assy, and they are now quiet, and cool. Gonna be 94 here today, think I might test em out..- justhorns

O'Reilly sux balls !!!
I worked at Napa for a few years. Yes, the kids I was working with had no clue about working on cars. But, I still use NAPA for some of my parts because they have them HERE. They do stupid things like decreasing stock of older car parts (which I don't like). They now say the parts are in stock...- justhorns

O'Reilly sux balls !!!
If you keep buying only from cheap places, the auto parts stores will vanish. Then, the online stores will just mark it up more. Support your local auto parts stores..Sorry.- justhorns

What have you done to your square lately??
Here is the resistance of my 250-6's ignition wires, new and old (on right). I used my milwaukee meter, which is pretty accurate. As you can see, the longer wires have higher values than the short ones. I think this tells me my old wires (each being ac Delco) were OK. -
What new tools have you got lately?
Home depot having close out of Klein Tools. So I went to see if I needed anything. Found a 5 bit mini ratchet and a REALLY nice 14 in 1 screwdriver, that extends, you can hit with a hammer to drive things, 13 bits and a removable shaft that adjusts SOLIDLY to three positions. 1/3 rd off, so $15... -
What have you done to your square lately??
New ignition module and wires. More to come later. I ran resistance of all the ignition wires new and old to see if any were bad, and see if you can see how long the wire is by its resistance. None of my old wires were bad. will post numbers on resistance shortly. Wires are standard Delco. -

Jegs Wiring harness versus Painless Wiring Harness
I've rewired 10-20 cars and the only harness I will use is american auto wire. The quality of the wire and the fuse box is just better. They do expect you know how to wire a car and how 12V works.- justhorns

Careful buying online- Camaro 1979
I always allow $2000, and now $3000 for any used car purchase even ones that are presented honestly. I have $3500 now in my square that I paid $1000 for. But when sellers outrageously lie, leave large blobs of bondo flowing out through holes under the car I get sick for my customers. It’s just...- justhorns

Careful buying online- Camaro 1979
I'm sorry. I try to keep any customer cars posted anonymous. This car is distinctive and others would recognize it possibly. So, no more pictures for now. I'm not accusing anybody of anything other than a flipper. No, the customer had no clue what he was getting into. His bill will approach...- justhorns

Careful buying online- Camaro 1979
I work on classic cars. Recently, a customer brought me a 1979 Camaro that he had purchased on facebook marketplace.. or whatever. Not a z28, but, a base car that was loved, put away to rust, restored, and sat for 3 years, by what the new owner got from the previous. First thing I did was get...- justhorns
