    The 410 Is Sold.

    I got the last payment on Saturday. My friend brought over his hoist today. Now I have to get it out of the car. I have never pulled an engine before. If it is too much for me to handle, I have a couple of mechanics I trust who can do it for me. Anyone want to buy a 95 black convertible roller?

    Impact wrench options

    Basically, I'm between a corded Craftsman 8 amp that has 300 ft/lbs torque and a 19v cordless one that has 200 ft/lbs. For a typical home mechanic like me who does things like brake jobs, is the 200 ft/lbs one adequate, or will I find over time that the 300 is more what I need? Which would be...

    Clock and radio always on

    When I take the key out, the clock stays on. Also, the radio can be turned on. This is not normal, right? Where should I start when trying to get to the bottom of it?

    I am trying to swap my 99+ shifter out and put in a 94 one. FWIW, the 99+ shifter is about 1/4" taller than the earlier ones, so the bezel around the shifter doesn't line up right with the center section of the dash. So I got the bolts out and lifted the shifter assembly out, and I got the...
