Trying to. Today's a better day, you know how that rollercoaster goes. [ATTACH] Nice day to be on the road though. 70f and dry. Rolled all the...
Thank you. It means a lot. Early days yet but we'll see how it all goes.
Where were we? Not sure. Been spending a lot of time in hospitals lately. Wife was diagnosed with cancer and now all the chemo begins. [ATTACH]...
Just fixed this up. [ATTACH] 1948 Waterman S-11-A "PocketScope". You'd need mighty big pockets, but compared to contemporary designs it's tiny....
I think that's also a key factor, because soldering like you would pipework using an open flame often oveheats the wire (as evidenced by the...
Difference there is the equipment stayed on and at a fairly continuous temperature for years on end. Solder joints typically fail with heat...
That or make sure the coil you have is within the resistance specifications that Pertronix outline in the paperwork. It'll work with one that is...
I found it improved my ignition system, but I still carry a set of points in the glove box...
Checked your brakes? A dragging brake plus a tired engine is a recipe for miserable fuel economy.
My '51 Pontiac has similar static compression, 6.3:1 and in reality on the starter it'll make high 80's because it's got a really soft cam with...
I've certainly wrung as many miles out of it for the dollars. I really need to put some work back in.
Mardi gras parade. [ATTACH] Was a fun afternoon. [ATTACH] Mick came along for the ride and enjoyed the attention. Phil
Finished polishing it up today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Good enough for government work. Phil
Cold but dry. [ATTACH] Polished the roof. Phil
The weather's been so variable it's hard to do anything with the car of late. Phil
Hot day today. [ATTACH] Got the light blue on the front of the car with a gloss back to it (where it still will). Too warm to continue, the...
I fixed my DA polisher. [ATTACH] Starting to try bring back a bit of shine to the paint. Only got that far tonight, but it's a start.
Today's been hot coffee and soup day. Too many people ended up driving off the street and into the bayou- nobody's got any of the setup or...
Started up first push of the button. [ATTACH] Idled like it was a nice warm July afternoon. Carburetors are terrible, everything needs fuel...
Golly. It still hasn't stopped. [ATTACH]
This is one for the books. [ATTACH]
Something. Not sure what. It was reading accurately and reliably until it was left parked a while with about 1/4 tank full. Whatever vapors and...
Couple weeks back I added some solvent then filled the tank. [ATTACH] That sat and stewed for 2 weeks. [ATTACH] Seems to have helped, the gauge is...
Cold snap today. [ATTACH] Nice and toasty warm once it's up to temperature. Phil
eBay.
Glad you found that. I wasn't thinking that RR used them, so good catch. Phil
It's international, but Fatsco have been great to deal with for my transmission. Worth investigation.
Welcome along, they're good fun cars to go cruise in!
@Rob Mawdsley will that work? Yes. Will it leak? Yeah. You'd need to do a full flush and then another change after driving it a thousand miles or...
I guess, to clarify, the oil viscosity past 20W makes no difference unless it's very cold; the only change that makes is the 2-3 shift is a bit...
