I unhooked the Fuel line just prior to the Engines Fuel Pump, connected the Dealers thingy, put the other end in one of my cars...

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    I assumed the SX175 had a Rear Bench Seat, like the 195. Does yours have a Bench seat or a Engine Cover and a couple jump seats that only kids van sit in?

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    In 1988 I had a 1981 Olds 98 with about 235,000 on it, and the front end was shot, so I took it to a shop, and they did the Inspection and said Ball Joints, Tie Rods, Idler Arm.

    This is from Apollo 12. Too bad Aldrin hadn't taken a Pic like this of Armstrong on Apollo 11. It likely would have been a candidate for Picture of the Century. Man's final steps to walking on the Moon

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    Short or long water pump?

    If the pullies weren't rotted through, I would just wire brush them and spray a coat of Rust-oleum or Tremclad
