Just bought some Seafoam in hopes of clearing up some sluggish issues with my Z28. The layout of the engine bay is entirely different from my 240sx, and I'm looking for the place to put it for the intake. I was told brake booster line but that makes absolutely no sense, I'm not cleaning my brake lines, just the intake and what not. I think the ratio goes 1/3 as well, right? 1/3 in the gas tank, 1/3 in oil, and 1/3 through the intake.

on a 97 Ford Contour---was going to Change the Wheel Bearing on passenger side.
Pushed the Axle in about 3/4 of an inch.
Will this hurt the inner seal for the Axle?
Will it hurt anything inside the Transmission (transaxle?) I am old shade tree mechanic, learning about Front End Drives--Thank You Very Much.

I'm going to a buy a car later today from my friend. Te tag office and everything is closed today and he lives about 30 minutes away. He has unregistered the car and taken the tag off of the car as well. Here is where my question lies.

If I have the bill of sale is it legal for me to drive the car home without a tag?

I just had my car in for work the other day and I feel like the hourly rate that the shop charged is a little high. It was $89/ hr. I know labor is a big part of the cost of getting work done, but I was wondering what is a decent hourly labor rate to look for? Or is $89/hr right in line with what I should expect? Thanks

Though no one would argue its good to have, I want to have the option of turning them on and off manually. There are instances you do NOT want them on automatically. first instance the other day I went to a motor drive inn. I was driving around with the darn light on. Please do NOt tell me to go to the dealer, I know they know how to do it. Any one know how to disengage the unit that makes them go on at dusk and dawn??? Thank you!
