The one that was bad, I bought maybe 15 years ago. It was OK except for the float level, the float level housing was put together with "toy tabs" (bending tabs over to hold the parts together, like an old Japanese toy). That antique "technology" is apparently to difficult for modern assembly...

Corn Cob Pump. I had to look that one up.

I was talking to a fiend of mine about this. He looked into developing an app for this and said it was probably doable. But then we started talking about using a laser level instead, and talked each other out of doing this. Don't need to "make a project" out of a problem that already has a...

I have been trying to lighten the load in my old age. Large/heavy things first. I can't believe the crap I have accumulated.

$5000 to $1500. Looks like a motivated seller

I remember the flipping Mercedes. Didn't Mario Andretti flip an IRL car about 20 years ago? Same problem?

I am using the C3 fuel sender in a 1968 tank. I started the engine for the first time about 4 years ago but I didn't have gauges until last year. So I have been starting it every 4-6 weeks for the past 4 years trying to run the old fuel through it. But without a gauge I added fuel like 1...

I need a new grill and have been considering a pellet grill.
