State Bill 1392, dubbed Leno’s Law, has moved further up the pike than any of the previous state bills aimed at rolling up the smog test exemption. It has passed the Assembly and Appropriations Committee, but still has to get a little further before it passes. Will it?
When you hear someone say that a classic musclecar is a sleeper, what do you expect to see when you turn to see it? Instead of trying to convince you to agree with us, we asked a couple of friends we watched on TV to see what they have to say about it.
When you love tinkering with older cars, sometimes you just can’t leave well enough alone. Our Project ‘Rona has gone through many changes and modifications, and one of the more difficult was swapping a Dakota Digital cluster into the OE cluster housing.
It seems almost every summer, when the temperatures rise higher than usual, overheating concerns plague our customers. Sometimes it’s a simple, often overlooked issue that can be fixed without going to an expensive shop, or by replacing parts that don’t need replacing.
You probably don’t think much about fuel starvation until you’re pushing ‘E’ and approaching a hill. But out on a track, a poor tank design can kill performance, especially with an EFI system. After one failed tank, we went to the pros for a custom tank.
Most switches handle up to 15 amps, but when the component you want to switch on requires more than twice the amperage, a relay will safely allow the current to flow without overheating the switch. We explain how the relay functions, and provide valuable pointers.
There’s a difference between an overflow tank and an expansion tank. We explain the differences here, it’s based on whether you have a sealed system, or a vented system, and that can affect which coolant you should use.
Are you sure you contacted Champion Cooling Systems? Some customers have complained that they never got a call back. Here’s how to assure you’ve reached us, and not one of our many dealers.
If you’re engine is overheating, a high flow water pump or overdrive pulley set might not solve your problem. The focus should be on solving the problem, not installing a band-aid.
We get the question often, as well as what mixture to use. We recommend an All Vehicle formula for our radiators, and we do have a type of coolant we discourage using.
