Here is my 2 cents worth. I have a stock Model A 6v+ ground car. Initially I used modern 12 v cables and the starter would crank over very slowly....
IF your 6v v-8 set up is like my Model A 6v system, if the starter getting a good ground through the tranny back to the battery? Just my thoughts....
Ok, so the shop I had my car in said that he used a smoke machine to find vacuum leaks in the intake/carb manifold. I used my propane torch to...

Had my 57 country sedan tuned up at a shop last week. Got delivered and deposited in the drive way-backwards. No problem-just driver around in a...
Love the 63? CS!!! You mean I will have to go buy more luggage? Dang it, I will just have to take one for the team I guess.
Found it! Is 1960 vintage Sears. I also found it in their 1957 catalog! How I wish I could go back in time and go shopping!
Just picked this off of the market place! It is all there and the cups are even pliable! Don’t k ow how old it is, I am thinking 40-50’s? here is...

Ekimneirbo: the engine only has 110K on her and I am sure as heck not going to do it-don't realy trust myself to get them dead center. That and...
Yeah, I was thinking off the cuff if it was worth it or not. I am still leaning to just pulling the head(s) and drilling and tapping etc. IF they...
I have an OT truck so please move this to the correct forum if needed. I am not sure how to place it int he correct forum. I have an '88 351W...
What are you running for an engine? If it is a 4 banger then all you need is your eyes and ears. Mike
I used a similar tool on my Model A and it was a pain. If you go to the ebay link and scroll you will see some valve compressors that look like...
I have a Delta that I picked up on CL which came from a school if I remember right, as part of a gang set of presses. I got it to do wood working...
Way Cool!!!!

Looks like the upper bracket for a gen. and the voltage reg. for my 57 goes on the left part of the rad support next to the inner fender. Mike
Love it!!!!!!!
I remember seeing a Chevy booster that was much much smaller than the one you have. I think it came off a mid 50's chevy. Sorry I can't be more...

Warbird1, see you at the Viet Nam vet show tomorrow. I will bring my Model A.
Moriarity, thanks. Just wasn’t sure which forum to place it in as it has both on and off topic cars. Mike
Not sure where to put this as I took pictures of all of the odd ball cars. Because they usually don’t get recognition at car shows. Some are on...
Oh I forgot, there is a new skill to be learned that will translate over to the AA-woodworking! You can get more tools to boot;). There actually...
Congratulations on the Hupmobile! Get her running and slowly put her back together. You will love driving around in a convertible!
