Great thread Tim! Well written, with good photos and explanations. It'll help the rest of us get in waaay over our heads!
Love it! They had some SERIOUS looking cars show up. Yep, throw the Camaro away, and blow the cobwebs out of the Little Chevy instead. Loved the...
I'm 6'2", and my 30 coupe has a 4" chop. The seat is on the floor, my knees are at almost shoulder height, because I have to slouch down to drive....
Three options. Stop driving, or call for a tow, or keep driving and take a chance on a ticket. I'll take option one far from home, or option three...
There's a group of us working on it in Manitoba. Can anyone put up a link to the actual wording of the legislation?
I like the spacer idea so if you have to replace the trans you don't have to modify the new one.
On my 40 Plymouth I did BJR's fix - the baffle. Then HRP's big fan, and a shroud. Went from overheating in traffic to "you can't overheat it."
Great photos! an excellent way to "break it in" so you won't worry about driving it places. I love that car! Is there any other tank vent other...
Tipping dies would come in handy for when you want to form a flange along a curve.
I think they look good! [IMG]
My Vertex mag did the same thing to my dial back timing light. drove it completely insane. Your old hard wired light will tell the truth....
I had this exact issue. The proportioning valve (not residual valve) has a gizmo in it that slides back and forth. It stuck, and produced those...
The Model A in my avatar handled 900 miles to and from Minneapolis on the freeway at 75 to 80 just fine. Steered light, tracked perfectly, and...
Only 50? youngster! Happy Birthday! Ralph
Here's a great demonstration of the problem: [MEDIA]
My 92 Chevy pickup does the "dry slip yoke" clunk unless I grease it now and then. Good ideas so far.
I just read the Canadian Hot Rods article. Great stuff, Dave! Congratulations! Good photos too. Ralph
Well, it's all back together and working. With the bar the right way round (cups tipping forward), I had to lengthen the slots in the headlight...
Here's a close up. 37Kid, the bar came with the car. No idea why the spacers are there, don't think I'll keep them. Fuzzy, there's a slot, it just...
Hadn't thought of shimming them. I think I'll try cutting the slot to get a bit more angle, first. This has got to be a common problem, but I...
Thanks for the replies! Larry, I'm told the cups should tilt forward, though it does get better if they tilt back. Are the cups on a 30-31 bar any...
My car is a full fendered 1930 Model A, with a 28-29 chromed headlight bar. The car is at about a 3 degree rake. The headlight cups on the bar sit...
Not that my opinion means anything… but I like the split window idea. Thanks for the "why split" explanation too. Makes perfect sense. I like the...
I did what Gimpy's suggested on my '64. Sort of. I had an '82 donor. I swapped everything but the crossmember. If I did it again I'd swap the...
For the rear, CCP makes a kit to get 5 Lug. Front could be either.
Hey Dave, I've got a 35 tooth pulley on the shelf, if that helps....... Ralph
Here's a good page on reviving the paint without buggering it up:...
Note to self: When visiting Chip, DO NOT park on the street! Between drunks in PT Cruisers and blind folks across the street, you live in a VERY...
You should visit the 60-66 Chevy pickup board. Here's some links: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=499189...
Bummer. Always loved that car. Back to Model A Keith's story! Ralph
