phil7777
Will the ABS hyd. unit from a 1994 Buick Roadmaster fit in my 1991 Chevy
Caprice. I know it will physically fit but it is missing a red jumper wire
next to the two relays. Is this just a newer design?. Any help is great.
Thanks

Engine type & Fuel Economy by
Tom Varco
First off, I know nothing about cars, so there is probably something I
just "don't get."
Fueleconomy.gov states that above 60 MPH, fuel economy drops
drastically. Does this depend on the engine type? For example, in my
car (94 Buick Regal, V6 3.8), when I compare Engine RPM at 55, 60, and
65...

Thomas Hildebrandt
I'm having a difficult time diagnosing a rough idle problem on my 1987

Changing oil through dipstick tube. by
[email protected]
I change my own oil and it is getting harder to crawl under the car to
change oil.
I have seen units that can suck up the oil through the dipstick tube.
Think these are ok? They suck it up using the air from your compressor.
