    H4 Headlight Conversion

    I decided to do an H4 style headlight conversion. I picked up a pair of 24V H4 bulbs from the UK. They are 70W / 75W I believe the application to be a Land Rover with a 24V system that uses H4 type headlignt halogen bulbs. I also went with the yellow 7" retro fit lense since I was replacing a...

    Ignition troubles

    Now this was VERY unusual for the M37, but it wouldn't start. And when it did, it was missing on at least one cylinder of the six and ran very poorly. I just couldn't figure it out, the plugs are new, spark was strong (when I could get it to run). I thought maybe the timing was off a bit...

    My old worn out '90 Ford F250 is running rough. I think it needs a new injector, it has 160k miles on the 351w and the timing chain cover leaks oil to the rate of 1qt per 100 miles. (My reason for not changing the injector, I don't want to become a grease monkey)) My reason for having the...
