It depends
Near me the local street crews are putting in traffic calming islands instead
of fixing up the pot holes that will become much larger in coming months. I
guess pretty obstacles are better than safe roads. Added to this, main streets
are being torn up two years after being repaved,

Very common delivery valve seal issue. Two or three seals swap out. Fairly
simple job and should not cost that much. seals are all of $1 each DV. It is
pretty touchy on one of the seals to make sure it seats properly and delicate
getting the valve back in right.

$4500 for a nice 1995 with a 606 engine. I would think that the closer to
pristine with ice cold air and very low miles you can go up to $5k

EVERYTHING. sort of a joke. Fuel line is standard. Set of glow plugs and

I may be able to source some speakers from PnP. Yard is hosting a bunch of

I have been using Mobil 1 on all my cars for a decade. If you are going to
swap out fluid and filter, then take the trip, I would do synth ATF with the
full TC drain. Run it the 2k miles, which should loosen up and flush old gunk,
then drain when you get home. Fill with synth ATF again.

I can see that being an issue. Synth in a garage queen may not be cost
effective. If you swap out oil every year even if you do not make the miles, I
guess dino is just as good. Putting it every other place is a better deal.
Not enough wear on the fluid in the trans or diff, so you can keep

I would not fear using Synth in an old transmission. I have used it in both
Gump and Frosch with no troubles or leakage. It does tend to clean up the
garbage inside the transmission, so you do a short run for the first fill.
Also used it in standard street cars 10-20 years old. When you chang
Just do a push start. No need to jump, as you will need a hardy battery with
many cold crank amps and 02 gauge wire. Get somebody to carefully move up to
your bumper and slowly get you up to speed, then drop it into drive. No need
for glow or starter, will get enough motion to light off with

Can you use blue tooth to transfer the pix to a computer? USB cable to a
computer works on a PC. Mac has issue with the limited software available to
do wired transfer from these mobiles

But you are special, Roger. The rest of us have to live with cold garages that
tend to induce moisture build up as well as other troubles associated with not
getting engine upto temp regularly to cook out the water.
