    Stop Smoke

    When it comes to using oil, an old school seat-of-the-pants mechanic would say that smoke on startup and deceleration (high vacuum) is valve guides while smoke on acceleration (low vacuum) is rings. If it's an automatic trans with a vacuum modulator, I've seen them let transmission fluid through and...

    What u-joint is better?

    Simply put, my 79 Malibu needs new u-joints. It has a mildly built 350 with a TH-350 with a shift kit so the joints have seen some abuse. I don't drive it often, about 2K a year. Anyway, my questions--- Link below shows the Summit offerings. Napa appears to have the same Moog except a few...

    Horn problem

    I drove my 79 Malibu in a buddys wedding many years ago. Blowing the horn so much caused both of them to eventually just emit meager sounds. I think I overheated them. After that they never worked again, just gave a quiet little sound. Junkyard parts made that an easy fix. :D
