    How much is a 1968 Ford truck 3 speed manual transmission worth?

    Maybe $50 to $75. Unfortunately 3 spd's arent in demand. 4 spd's are valuable but not 3's. Sorry!

    Classic muscle car - problem starting?

    Those old 2-barrels had "Micky-Mouse" chokes. Sounds like its failing to close and giving you too much cold air. Warm air mixes the fuel better. Take off the air-cleaner and "goose" the gas one time with the ignition turned on. The choke butterfly should be closed. If not, you found your...
