POA Valve Doesn't "pop"
I have a couple of POA valves for my '67 Corvette. One was rebuilt several years ago and on the car until recently. The other is a recently-purchased NOS part. I've had them both on the bench recently to test. The rebuilt valve was showing about 26lbs, but I was able to adjust it to 30lbs (I'm still...

The AC quit the other day and, upon returning home, I found the composite material inside the clutch had shredded - it was completely gone. Car is loud, but I didn't hear anything unusual...
