The wiper motor in our 1950 Pontiac is pneumatic drive. My manul has little to nothing about this motor or drive system. I was wondering if anyone has ever converted to a 12 Volt motor, and if so what did you use for a substitute? Comments or ideas are appreciated

This might seem obvious to many of you, but how do I boost my 6 volt battery? I currently have it on a 6 volt trickle charger but I have a feeling this will take forever. So what is the right and safe way to do this? Thanks in advance.

I feel like I am the luckiest man on the planet right now. I sold my old F100 couple months ago to find a car I could squeeze my Kids in (everytime I was leaving with the truck my kids would fight to know who would jump in with me) and drive around beautiful Ontario and Quebec Province (I am in the military and...

New Pontiac owner as of yesterday. I'm from Manitoba. I just bought a 1950 2 door post for $ 35. It hopefully will be my next, new project as long as the underneath is not to rotten. Once I get it lifted up and home we can get a better look. Body and chrome is all complete and there. Motor is not seized. I curren...

Picked up a 57 survivor, four door. Looking at front brakes and found original wheel bearings need to be changed out. The cost of original ball bearing set up is surprising to put it nicely. There seems to be a replacement roller bearing set available if you change out the drums. Short of going the disk b...
