    Occasional Extra Brake Travel after Highway Cruise

    Occasionally I will get an extra inch or so of travel in the brake pedal, especially after long highway cruise stretches. Brake Pedal feels normal after a release and reapplication, and feels good and firm always, other than when it has an extra inch of travel. Entire brake system is less than a...

    240 245 Sun Visors, anyone have a fix?

    So, as you know, 245 sun visors tend to rot from the inside out for whatever reason, leaving you with a bag full of once foam. Has anyone come up with a workable alternative? I suppose I could peruse junkyard options, just wanted to pick the hive mind first. Thanks!

    B230FT PCV confusion

    So I've never really had a factory ish turbo redblock before. The one I now have has a flame trap set up similar to a 240: breather box > flame trap > turbo intake pipe. It is also connected to manifold vacuum. This feels incorrect. Should there even be a flame trap? Isn't the OEM way just...

    84 245 Fuel tank is leaking from the drain plug. I tightened it as much as possible, no dice. It's not a bad leak, but leaks a 4-6" spot in a parking spot. Is there some sort of washer that can be replaced or added under the plug? What can I do?
