Aden, were I in your position, I'd jump all over this little girl! If she runs and moves, well, you're not likely to find anything similar for the price. When it comes to drivability and enjoyment, "Ask the Man that Owns One.."

The problem with taking an older starter to Autozone, Checker, etc. is their testing equipment is all computerized now. If your vehicle isn't in the computer "Gee, sorry, we can't do that". Gone are the days of people actually knowing how to perform their job without the use of a g%*#@(n computer.

This is the kind of person that, after having narrowly survived a self-caused calamity and one of the reporters asks the question "Do you know what common sense is?" replies "Common CENTS? Ain't that the pennies I found in the parkin' lot?"

I guess I'll just have to question the people I know around here. The NAPA in my town COMPLETELY SUCKS! It REALLY does stand for No Auto Parts Available in Ogden.

Great info, guys! I've been considering Cokers as a replacement, now, seeing the postings all of you have left, they are definately off my list!

Owen, can you post a link to the Tower Paint site? I looked it up and got a whole bunch of crap that had nothing to do with cars. I'd prefer to keep the paint on my '53 original, so this sounds like just what I'm looking for.

It really doesn't matter where you are located, the sensibility and courtesy of drivers has gone the way of the dodo bird. Personally, I blame this on two items. #1 Cell phones. For some reason, society has deemed a Pavlovian response to a ringing phone is acceptable. This miniature idiot box will tell you who is calling. You can always wait until you can pullover and call them back, but NNOOOO!
#2 Video games. These may teach "hand/eye co-ordination" and in some instances may even be utilized as a viable teaching tool. However, more often than not, they are nothing more than a compulsive waste of money and time. They DO NOT teach common sense, which, all too sadly, is as difficult to find now as trust.

Hiya Bobby! Aren't these cars just great? I love the way mine rides (I have a 53 Cavalier). Welcome!

Scott

Hey Kev. I have a plastic see-through filter under my 53 and haven't had any problems so far. I have it tucked above the leaf spring on the driver's side so its out of the way enough that I don't worry too much about it getting hit with debris, etc., but its still fairly accesible so I can change one out pretty quick (takes me 3-5 mins depending on weather conditions and swearing).

Sorry, just too good to pass up. "Hot air heater. Whats that for? Hot air doesn't need any heating!"
