Didn't run when parked
As this endeavor to enter into the preservation class next year, I have been able to get the engine to run. However it refused to idle. So I got to thinking what if the K-fish pump belt is snapped. Low and behold. Now I know why it was parked over 34 years ago.
1968 Bristol 1600-2, Correct Trunk Tools & Jack
This is what I got with the car. Is this likely the original Tool Roll? Assume the 17-19 open end wrench should not have this bend in it? Is the tube item for Spark Plugs? And serves other purposes? The 1/2 drive and 3/4" deep socket I know/assume are not original/correct. Assume I am missing: - Adjustable pliers - 13-14 open end wrench - 8-10 open end wrench - Screw driver Flat blade (or is it a Philips also on the other end?) - Ro
Engine VIN decoding
Hi, The NK block I have for sale has the following VIN stamped on the block - 1102590 but is not flanked by the + signs that the tech article indicates. The VIN decoder fails to identify this block. Any ideas or suggestions as to what kind of cast iron blob I have in my garage? Thanks.

European Turn Signal Wiring
European turn signals use only a single wire to power their lights while US turn signals use 2 wires. When you to go install your European turn signals on a US car you are faced with a dilemma. Do you use just one wire to power the European turn signal or do we modify the European turn signal to accept both wires. The answer is you modify the turn signal to use both wires!

Freeing Stuck Rear Brake Adjusters
One of my least favorite jobs on a 2002 is adjusting the rear brake shoes in order to lessen the brake pedal travel. In principle, it's easy—you just pull off the rear wheels, take a 17mm open-end wrench, put it on each of the two adjusting nuts on the backing plate behind each brake drum, rotate the drum, turn the adjuster until you can hear and feel the shoe rubbing against the drum, back the adjuster off a tiny bit, do the other adjuster, then move to the other side and do the same on the oth
Front Strut Replacement The Hack Mechanic Way
Front Strut Replacement Overview Okay. It's time to replace your front struts. Maybe you're doing it as part of a shocks-and-struts job. Maybe you're updating the entire suspension—shocks and struts, springs, and sway bars. Maybe you're doing a full front end refresh including ball joints, tie rods, center track link, and idler bushings. Maybe you're doing an undercarriage refresh and are sandblasting and repainting the subframe and strut housings at the same time. W

Okay, with the compressor and bracket, condenser and fan, evaporator assembly, receiver-drier, hoses, and wiring installed, it was time to fire it up, then button it up. Similarly, with the project itself complete, it's time to button up this series of articles. As such, this is a long piece that touches on a number of topics. Leak detection There's a whole chapter in my a/c book devoted to leak detection, and specifically to the use of nitrogen or other dry inert gas to

Sunny day in the PNW
December rolled into the Pacific North West with a burst of sunshine, so naturally I had to take the car out for a drive. I felt this one deserved multiple treatments.. I haven't posted many photos of the interior, especially with the new Renown wheel. (kindly ignore the dash cracks) Takeaways from today: 1. The BMW 2002 is a
