I have a ’71 Dodge Charger with the 318 engine and single points. I would like to convert to electronic ignition system. Do I need the ignition module or just the conversion kit?

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 2.5 and the A/C vent loses air at the vents and it goes to the defrost when you take off. When you stop it goes back to the vents? Any ideas?

You have an intake vacuum leak somewhere. Check the engine compartment with the engine idling. Look for a loose or broken vacuum hose or fitting off the intake plenum area and listen for a possible slight hissing sound. Fix the vacuum leak and your vent-switching problem will go away.

I have a 2000 Chevy impala and when my car is in park it shakes a little bit. What could that be?

It may be the torque converter going bad or the fluid may need to be changed. Also, harmonic balancers go bad and cause low idle vibrations. —Gerald Wheelus Edgewood Auto Parts #253, Edgewood, Texas
