    1971 tachometer quit.

    I haven't seen that many tach cables but I think the ones I have seen have a square drive. I don't have any ides why the new cable would turn backwards.

    Weight reduction: Running out of ideas.

    There used to be an extensive list of part weights in the "Tech Section" but it seems to have disappeared. That's a shame, lots of good information there. I didn't know modern vehicles with ~10 gallon tanks existed until I filled our CR-V with a little less than 12 gallons. I found this list...

    Nicely done , as usual! The replaceable Viper splitter extension is a great idea.

    Wow. $22k for that. Good deal for somebody.

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    I have seen the pneumatic logic diagrams for the headlights before. It reminds me of an old player piano (only the piano is more understandable). Could you cap the headlight vacuum actuator to lock them in place?

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    That is very clever. Colin Chapman was on a roll back then. Looks like they had the body pulled down onto rubber strips to seal the underside. I think one of the new regulations outlawed moving aero components from touching the track. I think this is the same era as the Chapparal 2J vacuum...

    Restoring Your Right to Fix Your Own Car

    They are trying (I think), to get this done nationally through Congress. It would be interesting to find who would vote against this. The CAR Coalition is an organization of independent auto parts makers, insurers, retailers and groups working to make sure consumers have the right to choose...

    Cadillac Buys it's Way Into F1

    Why does this sound like Ford entering F1 when they owned Jaguar? That lasted two years before giving to team to Red Bull. Formula 1 didn’t want them. The teams rejected them. FOM said no. So how did Cadillac and Andretti force their way onto the F1 grid for 2026? The American Team That Will...

    Restoring Your Right to Fix Your Own Car

    I was shocked that Honda wouldn't issue a recall for warning light for safety systems, steering, brakes etc. Probably would have cost $2000 to "fix" it and I found at least 20 Youtube videos for this problem going back 6-7 years. I just heard on the radio that Ford is recalling one of there...

    Restoring Your Right to Fix Your Own Car

    From Congressman Warren Davidson introduces the REPAIR ACT: "Freedom means owning what you buy, and being able to repair what you own. Yet, automakers currently gatekeep the resources and information needed for you to make your own repairs. Treating customers like captive repair clients hurts...

    Nice video. I remember that history even though I was a child. Mostly because my dad was despondent when the roadsters disappeared. I always thought that engine was called the 4 Cam Ford but I do remember the DOHC designation.

    I have seen some resto-mod, 2nd gen Corvair's that are pretty impressive. It's a shame that platform was killed off.

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Mike, interesting comment about air balling up in front of the radiator. I'm going from memory so I am probably mis-remembering this. The lower valance (front) of my 68 has a pretty big opening on each side of the bumperettes, which pushes air into the frontend (in front of the radiator). I...

    Not vintage but, I had no idea this existed: While all the car manufacturers are trying to out-Tesla, Tesla, Ford did this. A supercharged, 815 HP, Mustang that did a sub 7-minute lap at the Nürburgring. And you (not me), can buy one! Ford Mustang® GTD: Full Sub-7-Minute Nürburgring Lap
