Musclecar brake upgrades, history of the GM LS engine & Terry "Coverman66" interview.

The boys celebrate their 23rd anniversary of doing MotorMouth Radio by promising to bring the listeners another year of quality automotive content. Shop heaters come up and the Diesel type is by far the winner as far as the audience is concerned. Ray shows some brake fluid testers and implores us to have a service performed while Chris explains the weird new tumor he experienced on a recent road trip.  Check our social media feed to see the pictures; on Instagram: @real_motormouthradio and on You Tube: https://youtu.be/UHZOe0Ouem0

We close the year with a visit from our favorite toolman, MatcoMan Brian.  Ray asks what it's like running a tool truck and the answer is sure to surprise many people.  We learn of Manny Rosa's "danger drive" road trip on an un-verified Honda Goldwing, then discuss cleaning carburetor's ultrasonically in Pine-Sol. Damage repair on Ray's GTO, welding surge suppressors, and custom paint color matching all come up. Brian wraps it up by explaining various tool storage options available to the home or pro mechanic.  Check our social media feed to see the pictures; on Instagram: @real_motormouthradio and on You Tube: https://youtu.be/8ZvpZZX0v9A

We're ending the year with talk of crazy Christmas parties, and one where Ray found a good sideline of backing a quarter pitching player to earn a good profit. Riviera power trunk releases on eBay get some show time, as does trying to find a correct interior for Chris' Chrysler. An Altima A/C compressor swap that was like giving birth leaves the guys groaning.  Check our social media feed to see the pictures; on Instagram: @real_motormouthradio and on You Tube: https://youtu.be/ryIRjwSWqQw

With the year quickly winding down, the boys bring in Carl Anthony from Automoblog.com to cover some hot topics from the past year. Ray chooses having a root canal over doing more Mustang work, then finds that a guest at the U.D. Christmas party is a show listener! With the help of Carl, the boys talk about portable tire air inflators & the "little piston that couldn't". Automotive telemetric options wrap up this hour of fun.  Check our social media feed to see the pictures; on Instagram: @real_motormouthradio and on You Tube: https://youtu.be/sdzUNXiPvdw

The boys convey a very New York social condition called the "I've gotta guy" theory, Ray describes how a simple hose connection can cause a death wobble in a Borgeson power steering system, and how specific the headlight & hi-beam dimmer switches are in a 66 Mustang. A Cobra no-start stirs up the diagnostic juices and a caller has a question about a Slant 6 torque converter.    Check our social media feed to see the pictures; on Instagram: @real_motormouthradio and on You Tube: https://youtu.be/JzAKHVeISYQ

Ray shows off the Hot Rod Rally album he's been annoying Chris with for weeks, then tells his strategy for switching out a summer car for the winter beater. V-Belt sizing secrets are revealed, then a caller talks about the value of having a portable air compressor, which leads to talk about portable battery power packs for car use. The new trend in large size ratcheting wrenches are illustrated with in-studio props.

A toolbox mishap finds Ray taking out the drawers and lubricating them for more trouble-free use. Chris suggests the Holley Street Avenger carb that was worked on is still an unreliable air/fuel mixer, but Ray counters with a story about trying to get repair parts from a Chinese company. Issues with the Mustang Borgeson steering conversion wrap up this hour of fun.

Chris decides to get the vacuum actuated power trunk release in his Chrysler working while Ray chose to go with an electric actuator for his car. Vacuum hose availability and prices come up, as does the garage find Holley 750 cfm carburetor Ray builds for the Olds 442. The '66 Mustang power steering conversion project gets started & Chris asks us about our car owner's manual collections.
