    To me, this is a pretty important topic. The more you know about it the better. It doesn’t really matter what your classic vehicle preference, the hobby aint cheap. As values increase, so does fraud. As they say, knowledge is power. Why not become more informed to help protect yourself from becoming a victim. I’m sure the hard core collectors hire someone to verify that 2 million dollar Hemi convertible or ZL1 or L88 Vette before purchasing. It’s really a shame to see someone lose their hard earned money to fraud, or find out that what they purchased is really worth less than half what they paid because it isn’t what it was promoted as being.

    Tire pressure

    As Dennis said, for the tire sizes you have Dave, at all 4 corners, I'd probably run 32 psi as well.

    My other cars that have bigger/wider tires in the back, I'll usually run those around 24-26. That's based on doing a couple burnouts to see if the contact patch is even.

    But officer, I was just doing a safety  check to make sure I have the correct tire pressure.

    On a serious note. Get tested.

    A PSA of .50 is certainly a great number Willie, because that’s a number  that can’t be altered without some form of medical intervention, unlike others that can sometimes be changed by diet and exercise, which admittedly is easier said than done.

    Interior Bucket seat trim

    I always wondered why the lowers didn’t have the trim. They were clearly set up for it. Did GM reserve the lower trim for their more upscale lines (BOP)? Thanks for the info Joe, I think I’ll order a set from Ames, mine have lost some of their bling.

    NAPA has good batteries, but I've had the best luck and longevity with Delco batteries.

    I’ve had good luck with the Delcos also. They also seem to stay cleaner than a lot them. The other thing to consider is a battery disconnect and a trickle charger. I’ve definitely gotten more life out of mine by using them. Although 8 years is pretty darn good.

    Ignition issue!

    in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum

    It retracts to the acc and not the on position? It has to go past off to get to acc. I had a 79 Firebird that when it retracted back to the on position it would die. That turned out to be a bad ignition switch. What made it a tough repair was that  it took 3 switches to get a good one. I ended up bringing a continuity tester to the parts store on my 3rd try to get a good one.
