Sam! Long time no see man! Thanks for the heads up on State Farm, they sound like they would be worth talking to from your comment and from what...
The towing question was the second question I got asked. I'm sure they file that type of use into the "everyday" category instead of going to...
Got a call and a denial from Haggerty this morning because the car has a hidden tow hitch on it. Apparently if your vehicle has the ABILITY to...
Wow, shooting 0/2 with a nice rejection letter from Grundy: 1. Vehicle badly rusted, damaged, modified and unrestored. 2. Vehicle not a...
You were insured with them and they dropped you? What specific reasons did they give you? I sent in my paperwork to Haggerty, waiting to hear...
Not to stray too far from the carb question, but a friend of mine has been experimenting with hydrogen electolysis/injection and had some decent...
My gals great-aunt, circa 1945. [IMG]
First off, thanks for all the replies and advice here with all of the insurance carriers out there from everyone. I spoke with a woman in the...
Tommy, I think you're right. I should have said 5k, which is probably closer, but you never know when you'll get bit by the "go drive across...
HRP - Basic liability doesn't pay anything in a total loss, hence the full coverage. Also full coverage has the benefit of some shitty towing...
I think the HAMB community needs to be aware of the experience I've just had the joy of going through with American Hobbyist Insurance when...
Before I expire one day, I'd love to build a small bellytanker like the "Old Crow" and have it electric powered to race at the flats. I think...
Station wagons, my '62 has the big drums all the way around.
60's styling. Big block. 20+mpg. Seats 6 adults comfortably with a metric ton of crap in the back. Tows a trailer. Rear seat folds down to...
We sold 8 tons of copper and steel cases a few months ago. The chinese are going crazy for raw materials.
Some older military stuff is 12v that I've seen, seems they were just a bit ahead of the consumer market. Kinda like nowadays we see Uncle Sam...
The flight museum is in Greybull. I've never been past there when the gates were open.
Those gear reduction starters do provide more torque and work well for high compression engines. Damn are they fugly though. Ick.
Hanksville Hotrods does full mandrel bent exhaust.
Check your drive assembly. There is a bolt on the end that will rattle out if the retaining tab breaks off or was missing to start with. We've...
Is this a British Ford or something? '49-'51 Fords were all positive ground, at least all the ones I owned and have seen were.
Ok, this makes more sense now. That fucking helicopter was all over when I was trying to take pictures of my Galaxie out on the salt just off the...
I set my initial timing at 14, but there is no air up here. Factory manual says 8. Something sounds pretty messed up if the valve train is...
You can get brass floats for a few bucks. I've had good luck with the kits from NAPA.
Could be the float isn't set properly, could be metering rod issue, could be a bunch of different things. Grab a rebuild kit, a can of carb...
Sounds like bad battery. If its charging at 13V, its not a polarization issue. Load test that battery and I bet you find the problem. Oh, and...
I used a bushing kit from Kanter on my Galaxie and was pretty happy with it.
Sounds like what mine does at high rpm, surges. Found the stock dizzy just can't advance enough to keep up. Your electronic setup shouldn't do...
Hmm...the genny was doing its job, but sounds like the regulator wasn't controlling the output correctly. 16.8V sounds a little high, like...
I love the Ouray to Durango route in the daytime, very pretty scenery there. At night and in the rain its NOT fun though. Glad you all made it...
