burned out in my MIL's Towncar (94) and at first they wanted 2K to replace

My son has a 93 5 liter Mustang 5 speed.  He had used it to go
somewhere, tried to start it a few hours later and now.... nothing!

I have a 1985 Ford F250 with a 460 gas hog engine.  It has a holley
double pumper carb which was put on by the previous owner.  It ran
fine one day, no problems.  The next day when I started it it starts
fine, runs approx 30 seconds, and dies.  It does this repeatedly, but

I have an '88 Jeep Cherokee with a 5 speed and
a 4L engine.  Sometimes when I start out in first

Recently had the water pump and thermostat replaced on the 99 Mazda

I have a 90 burb 350 and I replaced the pvc 4 months ago. I noticed twice in

Defective PVC?

The primary hood latch on my wife's 1991 Chevy Caprice wouldn't let go

I bought a used 1984 Dodge 600SE w/ automatic transmission recently.
When I test drove it, everything seemed fine. It accelerated fine and
kicked into passing gear properly. Now it accelerates smoothly but
slowly. It will not accelerate quickly enough to use the passing gear.

My father-in-law is thinking about buying a turkey deep-fryer to use as
a hottank to clean parts, such as cylinder heads, intakes, ect. It seems
to make sense, a good way to boil clean parts ourselves instead of
paying to have it done. Just let them "cook" for a couple of hours till

Does anyone know the length of belt to use when bypassing the A/C
compressor on an '87 Bonneville 3.8?  My A/C bearing is shot and it is
pointless to replace it if I can bypass it.
