Had the clutch tube welded and stalled on the drive home. Starter clicked. After an unsuccessful attempt at bump starting, the starter engaged and I drove home. Nothing after that but a click. Charged battery, changed starter, now no click, nothing. Tried a remote starter button (maybe wiring,...

This used to be dune buggy won't run warm... Until Speedy Jim alerted me to some major manifold leaks. I've fixed those and now the engine starts right away and idles nicely. I take it for a spin and it's great until the choke goes off completely. Then the acceleration is poor, power is...

I've got a '75 bus with a '78 engine in it. It's had a recent tune-up and is a good, strong engine with great compression numbers. But from time to time it 'clacks' loudly upon start-up and initial running and doesn't 'mellow down' to a quieter purr. I recently left the country for 2 months and,...

When I moved into the house I'm in now, there were no auto parts stores within 5 miles of my house. About a year ago they opened up an Advance Auto Parts store about 3 blocks from my house. Literally within EASY walking distance. At almost the same time they opened up a Bojangles (Southern-style...

I've got another situation with my '75 bus that is buggin' me. When I am intending to start it and I slide the key into the ignition and turn it, nothing happens until it sort of goes 'beyond' the 'start' position. In other words .. I turn it to 'on' ... then I have to turn it REALLY HARD...

Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called "Beer" to target unsuspecting men. The drug is generally found in liquid form and is now available...

Another question in regards to the 6v. I have a intermittent starting problem. When I turn the key, sometimes the two indicator lights come on, but the engine won't start, just hear a click sound. I'll have to turn the key to the left (counterclockwise) shutting it off and try to start it again,...

I plan on welding in some floor patches to get my car through the VA inspection (restore properly later). My question is do I have to drain the fuel tank before I weld onto the floor? I know that a fire extinguisher is necessary when welding, but I was asked about fire hazard to the fuel...

My wife's '74 Super has a problem with the passenger door hinge. It binds and makes it hard to close the door. I've had the door completely off the car and attempted to drive out the pin with no luck. One of the hinges is just plain hard to move. I've managed to get some lubricants down...

I recently replaced my generator (12v) in my 61 bug with a 55amp Motorola alternator (12v). Since doing so I think my coil is quite warm. I never really noticed it being so hot before. I this because of the alternator swap and should I upgrade the coil as well? Thanks

Any news on this magazine? Their website is pretty vague, and after the demise of VWT (still waiting for my refund), I'm very leary of subscribing to anything else. Weren't they offering a "free issue" a few months back? If so, with the March issue being their premiere issue, it should be out...
