Or it could be nothing more than cor­ rosion resistance on the battery cables. According to Car Care Council, the latter is a common automotive ailment and, like most troubles, it's easily pre­ vented. The accumulation of corro­ sion causes high resistance to prevent die flow of current to and from the battery. A tem­ porary remedy, which may get you started, is to gendy twist the cable terminal clamps. Make sure all accessories are off before attempting this. A spark could cause'an explosion. Be careful not to twist the 1 post loose from die battery! Twisting the cable terminals ' may help make contact between the cable and die battery termi­ nal. Should you make contact, enabling you to start your en­ gine, the problem should be corrected as soon as possible by a good cleaning of the battery terminals and cable clamps. Your repairman can do the job properly in a matter of a few minutes. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, the Council suggests this pro­ cedure. 1) Pick up the following items from your auto supply GRANT BATTERIES BP TO McHenry, III. THE 1980's ARE HERE!

Motorists who live in areas where winter temperatures are frigid know that driving with­ out sufficient anti-freeze pro­ tection is like driving without wheels. You won't get any­ where. Yet many motorists are not familiar with other products that help cars function in cold weather. _ Every fall have your car's cooling system flushed out with radiator flush and add a fresh 50-50 mix of anti-freeze and water to guard against rust and corrosion as well as sub-zero temperatures. Ilie other liquids in the car need special attention in the cold weather also. A change of oil, standard procedure year round, is crudfcl now because in colder temperatures some oils thicken like molasses. And mechanics agree: molasses makes a terrible automotive lubricant. Many can suffer from the frosty problem of "gas line freeze. Moisture builds up in the gas tank and can freeze in the line, blocking the flow of gasoline in the carburetor. The result may be a non-starting car. Dry gas helps prevent mois­ ture from freezing in your fuel system and it helps prevent car­ buretor icing too. Radiator Busty? Seeping?
