I've tried the appropriate newsgroups, but can't get an answer pertaining to
a '96 Jeep Cherokee Country. Hopefully, someone here has an idea. For the
life of me, I can't locate the blower speed resistor. I only have max speed,
and would like to check the resistor before tackling ...

I am helping out on putting together a V8 350 engine in a truck. I

I was wondering if anyone might know where I can go to get some
abnormal hydraulic brake hardware...I don't even know if these exist,
but I'm looking for a 'Tee', that could take 2 lines and join them into

Working on carb problems and in reading a common comment is you need to
enlarge jets if you change to a larger cam (higher lift and longer
duration).  Since the carb just mixes fuel with air as is passes by, why

I was wondering about a self destruct system for a car that would be
used to transport sensitive documents or items that could cause serious

to repeat itself. It's a V6 with ~ 115K miles on it.

cleaner on the controller switch which did not help.  I tried looking
under the dash but I can not locate the air flow diverter.  Any ideas?

I have a 1990 geo metro and I am giving it a tune up. To my dismay the
emissions sticker with the data I need is gone. (the one located on the
underside of the hood) All my manual's say refer to this while doing
the tune-up.

I have a '99 S10 truck that has a battery drain of about .640 amps as
measured between the negative battery terminal and ground. I've checked
the glove box and under hood lights and can't find any that stay on.
I've pulled fuses and have found one that is marked tbc that drops the
