RW> That's what my dad said about Fords, back in the day. I bought a few
RW> anyway. 8^) My only regret was buying a 55 Ford and finding that the same
RW> year Chevy could kick its butt.

Just for fun, I have been looking at Trans AMs (maybe one day to have as a
"spare car"), but the engine area looks very crammed.  That seems
to be the norm these days.  My Monte Carlo engine area is way less crammed
than most cars these days.

RW> New models have an external high pressure pump. Dropping the tank on a
RW> pick up is too easy, unless your pump goes out when the tank is full.

One of these days, I am going to replace my fuel pump.  No issues with the
pump, but the float doesn't work properly once it gets around 1/2 tank.

RW> If you look at the Pro-Kool R134 recharge system, you have to manually
RW> pull a trigger to reload the system. Don't know how anyone could connect
RW> to the R134 port and not get it right. R12, yeah that happened a lot...

I have always used the R134a "Arctic Freeze" brand.  When you go
to plug the connector on the port, if you don't pull back the connector all
the way and push hard, it will leak pressure and coolant out of the car's
A/C system.  Sort of like when you connect a air hose to a tire to add air.

I have gotten better at it after all those refills last year.
