Although it may be a trick of time, I believe today's new cars don't have the same smell that the new cars my dad brought home had. -Dave
Hadn't noticed so I went back to look again. Also doesn't look to be pinched at the cowl. Truly a neat old car. -Dave
Sink or swim, we're all in this together. -Dave
It's hard to forget the first time you breathed nitro fumes. For me it was in the middle 70's at the 1/8th mile on the far west side of Lawrence...
Sure but the hole is a convenient place to run the horn wire. -Dave
Probably from a truck with a floor shifted box. -Dave
One piece wheel to box. Is this from a car and if so are you keeping the column shifter? -Dave
This is the way it use to work. Before the instant gratification of the internet. Let's say you read a magazine article, or saw an ad, for some...
Always liked the smell of old salvage yards where the gear lube has been soaking into the ground for decades. Nothing enjoyable about the smell...
What others have said above. Is water still present after everything is up to operating temperature? Including the tailpipe(s)? Condensation is...
John is a nice guy to deal with and he just bumped his ad in the classifieds. That is if you want a roadster. The few times I've been to his place...
Thank you, sir. And, thank you to all the moderators. -Dave
I did report it. Later I posted on it to "move this ad to the for sale section" after seeing it was still up. I wouldn't have brought it up here...
So what about the recently back from the dead thread "Rockford Stash"? It started out as a "look what I've found" thread. By post #20 the owner of...
You said it's got an original style single piston master cylinder. This might be a part of the problem, besides bore size and possible booster...
Better idea everyday of the week and they tried to use them all. Aren't Fords fun? -Dave
The stock 4 wheel drums without a booster, if in good condition and properly adjusted, will through you into the windshield when aggressively...
8BA style flatheads use venturi and manifold vacuum in the LOM ignition system. No mechanical advance at all. I'd be looking at the condenser...
I've lusted over this red Model A for years. The detail found in the fenders of the two 3 windows show that bobbing a fender doesn't have to be a...
To each their own. Don't know when that car was built and I don't care for some of the details. But, with that said, it just shouts late 50's /...
This is nice compared to what might have been said 15 years ago. The guys back then scared me to the point that it took years for me to have the...
Y-Blocks Forever on the world wide web give love to the Lincoln-Y also. Give them a look. -Dave
^^^ They saw this thread! -Ha, ha! -Dave
… ? -Dave
At the Chevy phone room in Troy MI., (actually an EDS -Electronics Data Systems office, owned by GM) our goal was to "promote customer loyalty and...
Just goes to show, if you snooze you loose. Strange indeed! -Dave
Thanks for bringing this back to the top. As pre your question all I can say is why? Do you live somewhere that normally cars are on the other...
I worked for Chevrolet Customer No Service around the 1991/92 time frame. Never ceased to amaze me how hard the corporate powers worked to save a...
^^^ A real engine, not a poser cam powered fairgrounds cruiser. I like it. -Dave
It's probably gone this thread dates to October 2015. -Dave
