We all have our opinions, but does one manufacturer's car start better than another? While I have not read any studies, I'm going with Chevy.

Dad bought a like-new '39 Plymouth and about ten years later he bought a new '51 Dodge. Neither of them started well. Dad said IF he put in new plugs & points every fall they would start MOST days through the winter.

1961 Dad bought a new Chevy Impala, and it was a whole new world. That thing would start EVERY day, new plugs or old. So we became Chevy people overnight.

And while we've owned other brands over the years, Chevy remains king around here.

Back in '77-'82 I attended a university in SW Michigan. My brother & I always had a Chevy there. Come time for home leave & hoods would be up all over the parking lot, but our old Chevies would click right off.

Fast forward a few decades. My '88 Astro is probably the oldest ride in the parking lot by 15 years, and it'll out start 'em all. I've jump started the Principal's Toyota pickup, and the rich snob UWM graduates' new car that Daddy just bought for 'em.

I'm sure the '61 Chevy's twelve volt system was a plus, but I know our '51 DC CASE will click right off on six volts with just a couple revolutions.

....And the nine year old plugs, wires, cap, and rotor on my Astro van have over 136,000 miles on them.

What do you folks say....?

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
