It’s a little too cold outside to do much automotive work at the moment but I’m just itching to get started. I figure a good place to start work with an LT1 engine is the “Home Plate Delete” modification which involves removing the intake air filter resonator. While I really do like the stock look…
I just got my hands on a copy of the new Dark Horse comic, Mighty Samson. All in all, I found it to be an enjoyable read. The story is updated ever so slightly for a newer and darker audience but it didn’t really detract much from the original. Samson is definitely more a Conan…
At long last, Dark Horse Comics has gotten around to re-imagining the Mighty Samson character from Gold Key Comics fame. I loved Mighty Samson as a kid, it was cheesy as all get-out but the idea of a post-apocalyptic New York was a cool idea to me. I think films like Mad Max, and Escape…
Well I had my court date today. It was a much smoother process than everyone led me to believe it would be. The waiting area has seating for 60 people, and I expected to spend the day sitting there waiting my turn. The tickets give the address on the back and say “9:00AM SHARP!”…yes the…
While I’ve been driving around I keep hearing a sloshing sound from the rear of the car. I presumed it to be a rear washer fluid jug at first but it turns out that the Roadmaster wagon doesn’t have a rear fluid jug. I started nosing around in the back and ultimately started tearing out…
It was a little bit expensive, but overall it cost a little less than I was prepared for. All of the repairs are done and the car is legal to drive on the roads. Now…to deal with the court system.
Well, today was the day. The Roadmaster went into the shop to have the Safety Inspection and Emissions tests done. Cleaning the EGR valve and running Seafoam through the vacuum system failed to get it to pass an emissions test last week so it’s up to my mechanic to figure it out now. The mechanic…
It started to look like I won’t be able to make all of the required repairs to the Roadmaster in time to meet the 15 day limit on my ticket. I gave up trying to find a way to get the car fixed faster today and went down to the Provincial Offences courthouse to pay…
Well, any wiring issues that prevent it from passing a safety inspection are resolved and I’ve fixed the rear window roller. In order to pass the emissions test I really need to figure out what’s causing the high NOX emissions during low RPM. I’m really not too sure where to start. I removed the EGR…
I tore off the drivers door panel, the sill trim and lifted the carpet from the Roadmaster today in order to better hunt for my window lock wiring problem. At long last I found it. It looks like there should be some manner of bushing or wire guard where the wiring travels through the side…
