    PCV Valve Test?

    I was doing some tuning and checking out how to test the PCV valves. The manuals say to remove the PCV hose and check for vaccum on each valve. The PCV valve closest to the firewall has a lot of vaccum. The valve closest to the grill has none. The hose doesn't have vaccum or pressure on it...

    Dynotech Prop Shaft Problem

    I sent my prop shaft to Dynotech to get the boot replaced and rebalanced. They said that they no longer service/have parts for this "older" model prop shaft. It's off of a 92 Ty. It looks like someone rebalanced it at one time. Has anyone else had a similair experience? [/url]

    Fusible Links

    In looking at the wiring diagram for my ABS it says there is a fusible link in the circuit. I'm not to familiar with fusible links. Do they have a slow burn? I ask beucase I'm getting 11.5V @ the ABS unit and the battery is putting out 12+V. I'm pulling a 65 and 66 off of diagnostics. I'm...
