If someone would be kind enough to help that would be great. My van

The ad says, Ford Van 1987 runs good.$1400.
Do those 1987 Ford vans have carburetors? If so, I might be interested

I have a DieHard 750 Portable Power jump starter & DC power source. It
is a 12V 12Ah rechargeable unit with permanently attached 8-gauge
cables with clamps on the ends. The cables are only 18" long, so you

Okay, not sure why my neon won't start, could be a number of things.
I live in Canada (where it was -50 with the windchill last week in
Calgary for 3 days), and I do not have a block heater, therefore my
car would not start all week.  Now that it has warmed up (-5) I cannot

release it and then turn the key.

So I go today to take my 95 escort gt to get smogged, everything

If I decide to buy that 1990 Chevrolet RV van from the guy who lives
behind me, what two barrel carburetor (I don't want a four barrel
carburetor) would I need to look for in the auto junk yards around here?
(I can rebuild the carburetor, throttle body/fuel injection stuff, I

I had a very strange event happen in a 1997 Toyota Previa minivan the other
