    Were can I find power steering lines for a Powermaster hot air?

    My car does not have the Hydroboost setup. It's a late year model, so it runs the Powermaster setup found on the 86 and 87's. My setup goes straight to the steering gear and back.

    How to rid your yard of moles?

    I also am about to Bill Murray in Caddyshack on my Mole. He was okay until he started digging under my patio made of pavers. I worked my butt off to put that patio in during the hot Florida summer, I'll be damned if that little bastard screws it up!!!

    Steering box question

    Dealing with the same issue, I have a fully rebuilt front end. Didn't realize I installed a coil spring wrong until the other day. That threw off my alignment. I made adjustments to the steering box before I found my problem. Fixed the spring and got another alignment. Tried to take my...

    0 caster and the car drives like crap

    No removing of A arms, I installed poly bushings years ago, but not so many miles ago. The car was aligned after the poly bushings were installed in upper and lower control arms. I saw the clinic going on as the manager showed the mechanic how to deal with shims. I will trailer the car to the...

    0 caster and the car drives like crap

    Headers for a 1985 Buick Ttype HELP!

    I purchased a set of Kenne Bell headers for my ’85 back in the early 90’s. First pair was so off we could never make them fit. In true Kenne Bell fashion the replacement set took a couple months to arrive. After some hammer work and a local custom exhaust shop doing some cutting and welding...

    March billet aluminum underdrive pulleys... belt numbers?

    Thanks "youngstr" for the advice. I never thought of that as an issue, but Tlink confirms your comments. At idle in "drive" with the electric fan running and lights on I am putting out about 11.7v from my Powermaster 140 amp alt with the standard March alt pulley. However, let me ask you all...
