In spite of all my efforts not to, I've ended up learning something new today. I was under the impression that they were called bangers due to...
The linkage between the transmission and the throttle lever is why TorqueFlites don't have vacuum modulators. As far as an adjustment I'd...
I think their chips are our French fries. And our potato chips are their crisps. But their bangers are sausages! :D
Of course not . . . They're practically invisible! :rolleyes:
I'd always thought that Packard had the first regular production auto transmission with a lock-up torque converter with their "Ultramatic"....

You can click the EDIT button at the lower left side of your previous posts. From there you can select and remove the duplicate image links and...
"Crosley. A Fine Car." ;)
You might want add some more detailed photos of the headlamp openings in the fender as well as the headlamp parts you're working with.
I might try sodium silicate (aka "water glass") if I knew I had an external coolant leak only. I would avoid it if coolant is getting into the...
I'd think things like bleach or Simple Green might be too harsh on old vinyl, especially on the stitching. Bandit Billy might be on the right...
I don't remember if you ever said whether your distributor had a working vacuum advance. Whether it does or doesn't take a close look at any and...
Always wished that Chicago had stuck with this big blues band sound a lot longer. :cool: [MEDIA]
Had a similar experience years ago with a 273 in a '65 Dodge Dart. Not quite as dramatic as your results though. It started off as a very random,...
Is there an 8 cylinder Mallory cap that would fit this distributor housing? Maybe you could plug the wires into every other hole, find some rubber...
That would make perfect sense. But his post made it sound like it was something tied only into the ignition circuit. It would have cleared things...
Back to my previous question. What else is on the circuit protected by the maxi fuse that you said failed? Was it actually a 30 amp fuse that...
What was the amp rating of the fuse that failed? :confused:
Great looking Lincoln! :cool: Any more pics of other "HAMB friendly" vehicles you can share? :D
Could you use something like heating fuel oil? Less volatile than gasoline.
Back when "Manny, Moe & Jack" worked there. :rolleyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pep_Boys
Kind of like a modern shop displaying a sign that says they are "ASE Certified" or a "NAPA Care Care Center".
I think a similar technique is sometimes used for finishing guitar bodies. You might want to check some of the luthier and guitar restoration...
I predict that Steely Dan's music will never sound as old as it actually is. Most all of it seems timeless. The same goes for Donald Fagen's "The...
I think Studebaker was still using a cap very similar to those into the early '60s. At least I seem to recall seeing them on new '63-'64 Avantis....
Do all four wheels seem to lock up, or just the front or rears only? Is it a disk/drum system or four wheel disk? Or maybe it's a brake on just...
If it hasn't been mentioned yet be sure to also check your oil. If the diaphragm has failed it may also be leaking fuel into the crankcase.
Are you working with a "fixed" timing light or do you have one with a dial and gauge built into it that allows you to adjust where your timing...
And even cars from the '10s and '20s had mechanical spark advance. Actually a manual spark advance. In the form of a lever sprouting from the side...
Yeah, but with a third party aftermarket brake system it wouldn't hurt to "check". (See what I did there?) :rolleyes:
Separate names with a comma.
