I have a ground wire on the that spot near the battery tray that is connected to the wiring harness. I will look for the spot on the engine

My battery ground was attached to the intake bolt. I recently had to put new intake gaskets on and did not reattach it there. I cannot remember where it goes.

This guy must be a real prize ja

I am thinking it's my intake gasket because I went thru all the bolts and 7 of them were not tight at all. In fact 3 of them were loose. So I hoping that is all it is. Taking an intake off is easier than taking that off and the heads too.

Recently I was driving my 66 Bird and was having the heat go away when I went up a hill and come back when I leveled out. Not sure if this would be a thermostat problem. I had just removed my water pump for a repair and put it back on. I looked in the expansion tank taking the cap off and there was ...

To my surprise it started right up this morning but I am still wondering why it would not start before over the last 2 days.

Hope not. Just posted something

Just the other day I did an oil change on the car. It's a 97 with a 6 cyclinder 3.8 engine. I did an oil change and had trouble because a wire harness that go thru that area were in the way. The new oil filter is a little longer than the older one. I got done with the oil change an started the car a...
