  1. it is a pinto radiator looks just like mine from 97, mine is full copper.
  2. i think that Google is the devil, and agree with KB. but i am old, and long for simpler times. G
  3. ok, i said that wrong. not beat on them... it is more like striking a bell. get it to resonate. the vibration does the work. waling away on them IMHO doesn't do a lot of good. make it ring. and of coarse Toby is right about the wheel bearings, but driving down half the roads in New Orleans is bad on the wheel bearings.

  4. i like to take the wheel off and beat on the drum. when you beat on it you are not just pounding, the idea is to get a rhythm going. try to make it ring (like a bell, sort of) it is the vibrations that break things loose. i learned this from an old gunnery Sargent, this is how we got large props to break free. a brass hammer works best, but steel will do. this works on many things. use it all the time on case bolts/ screws when working on motorcycles. and is how i always get drums that have been sitting for years apart. gaius
  5. call, or email Blunt. thats what i would do. his shipping has always been reasonable for me, but i have never ordered from web site, i email.
  6. funny it says that engine runs like a champ.
  7. had a pertronix fail on me (the magnet came off) left me stranded. i put points back in.
  8. looks like a volvo sterndrive mated to an m10, great combination.
  9. those are actually 73 brackets, the 72 brackets do not y and allow the bumper to tuck in a few more inches.
  10. pawn shops are my favorite place to shop for tools. i will make a list of what i need, then hit the pawn shops. you usually have to dig, and it can be time consuming/ dirty, but have come up with some good finds so i don't mind.
  11. my car came like that, po hit some thing low, hard enough to alter the bushing mount. i swapped subframes. the radius arm was bent slightly also.
  12. i bought 2 of these, IMHO they are a good deal. 10.00 bucks appease shipped. will probably get 2 more. oh, they fit my stock air filter housing with jam adopter perfectly, well, not probably, i am getting two more.
  13. yep, but they suck when the sun is behind you.
  14. my money is on DMV. unless you tell them that you got rid of it, it will thill be on their roles.
  15. key chain is strictly ornamental, but the magazine has a boat load of nice 02 in it. and the article about 2002AD is funny, becuse some of the pictures are miss identified.
  16. probably from the DMV i got a post card questionnaire from BMW in 2001, asking if still had the car, and if i had sold it to whom. i answered yes i did, and intended to drive it until the wheels fell off. next thing i get a package with keychain, magazine, and something else i cain't remember.
