Last year on line somewhere I thought I saw a place to buy a chromed valve cover with exchange of the old one. Don't really want the up-keep of keeping a polished one polished. Chrome or nickel plated may be what I would like to do. Was I dreaming again or does anyone know of a place? Thanks Craig

Hi, My oil pressure sender was leaking when I bought the car, and I picked up another one locally. The unit they sold me is a "Standard Motor Products Inc" PS-153. I just went to the Standard web site, and this is the correct part #. However, when I pull the old one out of the block, there is a little fitting on it between the sender and the block - it seems to be an adapter of sorts. The unit that came off the car is a little smaller than the PS-153, and the PS-153 has a much smaller hole for the pressure to be read from. However, it seems to fit into the little adapter-gizmo just fine, and does have the correct bullet-type connector at the back. Do I have the right …

I tried starting my car a week ago and the battery was not so good so I hooked it up to my truck to jump it...however I never did get it to turn over. But it was acting correct when trying to start. I just tried again yesterday after replacing the plugs and having it on a charger 1/2 the day then switching the charger over from charge mode to start mode (a 50 amp output). All I got was a clicking noise. NO attempt to turn over on the car's part at all. I once knew what this problem was several years ago but now I can't remember. Can anyone out there help be diagnose this problem so I can get it fixed ASAP. I have a few other things to do to it before a car show on 3/…

Today I was helping a fellow member and checking out a Z that is for sale. The seller informed me upon arrival that he had sold the car overnight to a full price buyer from Africa. This reminded me of a scam that is being pulled here in the states. They will pay the full selling price by cashers check , but they want to cut the check for the full ammount of the car and the shipping and handeling as well as the brokers comission . Usually double the sale price of the car . You are to cash the check and two days or so the agents will arrive and do the paper work and collect the extra funds . and take the car. Here is the problem , the cashers check is a conterfit but so …

Hi all, What kind of current draw would drain a fully-charged battery in 30 minutes? I'm trying to get an idea on where to start looking for this short I seem to have. To let you know what I know... I have an early '74. The blinkers weren't working, so I set out to fix that. I came across a hunk of wiring not really connected to anything: a couple wires were running hot to a little box that resembled a simple security system. I checked the FSM, and it appears this was factory installed, but in my case it was non-functional. So, I removed it and the wiring. It ending up me having to resolder the wires to the blinker switch to get the blinkers to work, which they then …
