Check the carpet up under the dash for wetness. Is the slave push rod adjusted? Has the lock nut loosened? The slave push rod should be capable of moving 1.18" when clutch pedal is depressed. Check this when cold in the morning when you usually have this problem. If moving 1.1" then not th...

All headlights that are LED or HID are in projector style rather than reflector housings with a severe cut off called a shutter to protect oncoming traffic. H4 bulbs only rely on a small shield to shade the light. In all cases the 4 or 5 times brighter light leaks around this and is still too bright...

Is the clutch reservoir full?

Does the clutch reservoir need topping up? or is it using fluid?

When the clutch master was replaced was it 'bench bled' first?

I choose to live here and am aware of the environment as are those in California, or they should. Hot, dry, wind and fires are the norm there and always have been. Hard to live in any environment and not add to the problem.

I'd like to donate some of my rain.

Do they still flush toilets onto the tracks? In '75 I traveled from Revelstoke to Ontario. When flushed the bottom of the toilet opened and you could see the ties flying by. The sign said 'do not flush in station'. No shit!

Points dizzys get play because of the stiff spring. Matchbox shafts just spin, there's no side load. A good ground is absolutely essential. The module has to be tightly screwed to the distributor case and the distributor firmly bolted down to ground it. Later EI distributors have a dedicated ground ...

Was there several times in the '90s on a survey crew to work on a future marina? and sometime in the '00s my daughter took me whale watching in kayaks. No whales. It's a quaint little place. Also drove up from Woss on logging roads past Bonanza lake to the Cove. Sad, but I'll remember it the way it ...

Happy new year. Still have some dishes to put away. All in all a good Christmas.

Are both gauges not working? If even one is working it's not the regulator. Are the oil and charge warning lights working? If YES, then not the fuse. As far as the voltage regulator for the dash gauges: Power in would be the power supplied from the fuse block. Anywhere from 12.6v, a fully charged ba...

Pencil-thin Mustache Now they make new movies in old black and white With happy endings, where nobody fights So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage Honey, jump right up and show your age I wish I had a pencil-thin mustache The "Boston Blackie" kind A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket ...

I had to wait till next week's thrilling episode of Jet Jackson (aka Captain Midnight) to find out if he survived being cut in half at the saw mill at the end of this weeks episode. The Ovaltine Decoder Ring was no help after Captain Midnight was retired. I taped two paper towel cardboard tubes to t...

Disconnect anything to do with that MSG unit and get the stock matchbox set up working first.

Turn ignition on. Make a jumper and briefly ground the coil negative terminal and release it. It should spark on release if there is power. Does it?
