I had a water pump promptly die in a 123 car, when I ran it for a few days with
water. Don't know if there pump died from water (lack of lubrication?) or if
it was simply time for the pump to die.

On a strange car, I usually put in water if weather permits. Then run
it enough to be comfortable, or until the weather dictates it is time
for antifreeze.

Choosing springs is a tricky thing, and best left to a competent dealer parts

You need to check in the FSM for the section with the survey on suspension
springs, calculate which spring is right for your car. Things like
automatic vs. manual transmission, AC, sunroof, will determine which spring

I assume the belt is 1% more efficient than a chain.
It's OK.

The problem is that for hunting how many shots are you going to fire in a
year? The steel 3" I've been buying are $25/box, by the time I buy the bag of

Hmm, I'm not sure $30-$50 a year is enough for my time and aggravation.
I remember the halcyon days when reloading could be a budget proposition. Today
if you bought shot by the ton, was by the ten thousand and powder in 50# kegs
you MIGHT be able to load for $5.00/box. Once you factor in your
