    Old timmer tips or tricks!!!

     



    i am looking for all you gear heads old tips or cool tricks to help out building or fixing problems with old cars.
    Like to glue a penny down to the Battery to attract the acid away from the battery cables. or peening the oil pan bolt holes from the inside out to help to seal the pan or keep it from leaking. another thing was back in the 70's we had people come in with thier old mid 70 ford that would say the car would just shut off after it drove a little ways. We would take a hair drier and turn the heat on and blow it on the brain which was on the wheel well. the if the car cut off in a couple minutes we knew the brain needed to be replaced. Stuff like this that people might not know today, thats what I would like to hear about.
