    Paint and Body Restoration prob

    Paint and Body Paint quantity

    It will work but it may not last, Are you going to clear over it. Also a gallon may not be enough for a color change. When you add hardener and reducer you end up with almost 2 gals of liquid. That is enough if you know what your doing and do not have any redos. I'm an amature and barely got...

    Brakes Is my caliper piston moving enough?

    Normally they move a lot more than that, they can even come all the way out with no pad and rotor to stop it. UNLESS you have a lot of air in the lines. Did you open the system and let any air in? If so I would put it on with pads and rotor and bleed the brake then check it again.

    Engine Trying to remove crankshaft pulley bolts

    Heat the bolts. The internet says to about 500 degrees, you can use a propane torch. Some times striking the wrench with a hammer will transfer energy without rotating the crank assuming you cant fit an impact gun in there

    Engine Please help !!

    turning the distributor has nothing to do with priming the fuel pump. You said the engine was rebuilt 500 miles ago. I would double check the wiring harness going to the distributor and make sure its did not get crushed/pinched and is causing a short. The check list is a great tool.

    Engine Please help !!

    Just a thought but make sure you don't have a bad wire in the distributor harness. Does the harness get slack at 20 degrees and pull tighter when you back it off to 15. Could be something simple. Timing should not cut off spark only determine when in the cycle it occurs.

    I hate removing old tint!!

    Plus 1 for the steamer method also dawn dish soap and patience to let it soak will help with any glue residue, I've found it to work better than goo gone etc, just messy. I have split the difference and gone with really light tint to get the uv protection for the rest of the interior Nice Car!.
