hello ...

mmm, i'm not sure what to say ... i'm not a "hot-rodder" per-se ... but have strong believe that if in need of help re: engines/motors etc...
mechanics and hot-rod enthusiasts are the ones to ask ...

ask me about stain removal in laundry or for a good cookie recipe and i can help you out ..

i have limited mechanical skills , however ... reliant upon my chiltons manual ....well, if there are pictures) ..... i have had some successes ...
ie, blower motor ... front brakes (rotors and pads)... (that was in the gmc safari) ...in fact that is what started my "i can do it" approach ... a known franchise quoted me a hefty price for brakes ... somewhere in the ball park of 300.00 .....
" he must really think blondes are stupid...."

i went and bought the manual .... the parts and the beer and pizza ... for less than 125.00 .....
ok, so the first tire/brake took me a day .... the second took me 25 minutes ...
now i understand that the little sleeves where the mounting bolts go through also need to be de-compressed ...
yeah, that was my hang up ... getting the one caliper back on ... but a beer (or two) some amount of impatience and a ball-n-peen hammer ...

anyhow..
i'm not here to rant about what i have done ...
gonna brave/venture the club hot rod forum and see what i can learn ...

i have a 93 pontiac grand am now ... 3.3 v-6 ... haven't driven it yet ...
which has something to do with why i'm here ...

peace...
