    Is there a general rule of thumb on when to change your transmission fluid? By number of engine hours or age? I couldn't find anything in my old operation manual, only the spec for the fluid. Thanks, Rich

    Hour Meters

    Hi- Do they go bad? Mine (not digital) just quit and was working. I verified 12v to it when it was running. Anything else I should check? Thanks, Rich

    Good Morning. '86 v-6, points ignition. I've got a no start problem that I've been trouble-shooting. In checking the ignition switch wiring I have encountered a continuity problem. With the wires disconnected from the switch, and the battery disconnected, there is continuity between three of...
