I can say without reservation that they are trying to rip her off. They
think women in general and especially military wives are easy prey.
There should be a base auto hobby shop where she could get advice on a
good shop.
You might even call a local church and get a recommendation.

If the pulley gets loose, it can wear a groove in the shaft. If that
happens, the ear will hang in the groove and the pulley can't be removed
until you turn the ear to the correct position. This happened to me a
couple of years ago, and I am trying to remember exactly what
transpired.
BTW: Make

Have you tried the reflector tape on the fuel hose? I was thinking of
doing that on an old Ford truck that I have, which suffers from vapor
lock.

Beware of using petroleum jelly on connections! I have experience with
this. When I was younger (long ago), I used petroleum jelly on almost
all my connections. I had to reconsider after an enlightening

PLEASE be very careful. This is a DANGEROUS task--spring pressure. I

I agree. I have Compufire installed, and so far (3 years) it is doing
great.

is a good idea from maintenance and efficiency standpoints.
I put electronic ignition into every VW I build, since it helps mileage

I should also have mentioned to replace the strainer in the tank unless
it is perfectly clean. They are cheap.

Please calibrate your gauge. It sounds like the gauge is malfunctioning.
With 8.5 compression ratio, you should read 110-120 psig.

With respect to the gauges, the range seems to be OK, but you did not mention
the sweep i.e. the arc the needle swings through. I try to find gauges with
270 degree sweep; this gives a more precise reading. Many of the cheaper gauges
have a sweep of only 30-45 degrees.

Are the metal springs in the rear seat touching the battery terminals?

If the scratches are visible, they will leak compression and oil. Either
hone the scratches out or get new cylinders. If you hone them much, you
better make sure the ring gap is within tolerance. I recommend finding
new (or better) cylinders.

I was thinking the same thing. Not being an electronics expert, I was
leaving this to others more knowledgeable than I.
In the past I have used a Chevrolet regulator on a 1959 Renault Dauphine
and a Ford regulator on a 1966 MGBGT. These were all generators, so I
have no idea if this translates to

You should take those points back and get a new set.
The contact faces should be parallel. You can use some needle-nose pliers to
bend them a bit so they are parallel. I have had to do this several times.

It sounds like your carburetor may need cleaning. The water won't stay
in the fuel tank (as the outlet is directly on the bottom); however, it
will collect in the bowl of your carburetor. Pull the plug from the side
of the carburetor bowl and drain it. I suspect other debris has also
collected in

I can definitely recommend the Nissan Altima. My family put almost 270k
miles on a 1996 before it was totaled by a woman on a cell phone. The
only major work done on it was to replace the engine mounts and CV
joints once. Not long before it was totaled, the compression was 155-160

Chevrolet generator was $20. I also replaced the voltage regulator on a
