I have a couple of questions related to using a holley 4160 in an off-road
application. In particular, I'm using the carb on a sandrail, and environment
which is both dirty (lots of sand getting into everything), and subject to a lot
of bouncing around.

Have a 96 626 w/ 98K miles & the rotors have been warped (I'm
assuming- shudders significantly when braking) for a good while -
probably 10K or so.  Also - when braking hard, a bit of grinding is
evident too, and I figured that can't be a good thing.  So I'm

My truck evidently had a caliper get stuck and it quickly wore down the

I have a '99 GMC pickup with the 5.3 Vortec that has an intermittent
starting problem. The engine will not restart under various conditions.

Help! I Had a 'Diehard' Battery installed last night in my 98' Ford
Ranger automatic, however, when I started to drive off after service was

I have a 97 Chevy Lumina.  For some reason, when driving down the road,
for no apparent reason, my lights will dim and the heater slows down.
A 5-10 seconds after that happens, my belt starts squealing loudly.
Sometimes turning off the heater stops it.  Sometimes, I have to let

I own a 97 Toyota Tacoma.  It has standard sealed beam type

I have a '93 Mazda MX3 that shudders when idling; it doesnt seem to
affect performance, but I wonder if this is a common condition, and if
anything can be done about it. I took it to a mechanic and he replaced

I'd like to change the fluid in my '88 Ford F250
5 speed manual transmission.
One parts clerk says to use regular 90 wt. gear
oil, another says regular transmission fluid.

I heard in the news today that California tests vehicle emissions

is petrol + oxygen ==> water + CO2.
So in order to reduce CO2 emissions you must either make your car

I am looking at buying a vehicle that was vandalized with brake fluid
all over one side of it.  I'm not too concerned about appearance, I'm
thinking about just cleaning it and painting it over with some matching
spray paint.  Is there anything I should be worried about?  Could the
