    How to line up the distributor

I push the distributor, sans the rotor, in and engage the gears. I hook a test light between the battery positive and the tab on the side of the...

If the pressure exceeds the relief valve in the cap, it vents. One drawback of older-style down flow radiator systems was that the...

    Upgraded window motors revisited...

    In a previous thread about E28 window motors I noted that the front window drive motor was interchangeable with the rear drive motor, but the gearbox was not usable for a swap. A question arose about finding another source of gearboxes for the swap. So, I was rummaging through an old Volvo and...
