    Concrete finish ideas

    Contractor poured pouches in front and rear, and it shows the forms didn't go all the way down to the ground. Wondered why he dumped dirt against his forms before pouring but now I know. Maybe a concrete saw and cut the edges sticking out. If I try to break them off, most likely more of the...

    4.3 GL Engine Mount Bolt replacement

    Don't know what its used for. Was thinking the in gear switch but the colors are wrong and it didn't stat getting used until later Your pressure is good. Motor should be scanned to determine if there are any codes, other wise I would inspect the IAC. Remove a clean with soap and water, no...

    Questions on '76 Chrysler 105 first start after sitting for years.

    Need to drop the lower anyway to replace the water pump impeller. With it off you can change the lube and work the shift to see if things free up. If any water comes out then it should come apart With the lower off, connect a hose to the water tube going to the motor and start it this way...

    2000 MERCRUISER TBI 5.7 injectors quit at idle

    ALT wire only needs to be orange if you want to keep the colors correct. Red is fine The shift interrupt are black. When shifting the switch grounds the - side of the coil to cause a mis fire
