I have to take students into Manhattan on Thursday and Friday. Left my
Imperial for some work, won't be ready till Wednesday. Guess what I
have to drive for two days? Yup, the 57 Champion. You should see the
looks I get from the other drivers. Especially the nasty ones who have

After getting the engine and tranny installed, I was wondering how much
clearance is needed between the flywheel that is welded to the torque
converter and the bell housing.  The area in question is just inside where
the starter where there is a hump that gets close to the flywheel ...

The Jeeps (96 Cherokee, 4.0) been acting strangely lately, sometimes it
seems like its down on power, the gas pedal has felt hard, and the idle
has been weird, sometimes slow, (especially at startup, even with the
engine hot)and sometimes fast, like about 1200 rpm.

Please call Dave @ SASCO with your part numbers.Thank You.

Seems like we've been through this before but...
The seat in my Champ pickup is a big, fat bench, it's got a broken
spring, the cover is bad, and it's just too fat, both the bottom cushion
and the back.

I am fitting a new interior from Phantom Autos. The interior will be

will be white.
I hace selected black for the dash pad and will paint the sun visors

Just bought a used boot.  Any recommendations on how to die it?  It's
torquoise and I need it black.
