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...
I have and I have experimented; there's something at fault internally that's intermittent. It might be my fault in the rebuild. I have a couple...
Out and about, today. [ATTACH] A small meetup in town for breakfast. Not many people showed because there was another event they all went to....
I would expect the process of manufacturing that fan to be either a single or two-step process; if two, a flat sheet is cut out and then thrown...
And yes, completely missed the beginning of this thread. The torus has a square drain bung which will undoubtedly be at the top when you stop the...
Hydrostatic drive oil, for big Allison and Caterpillar transmissions. Designed for this application with the suitable anti froth additives...
Yeah. I tried ignoring that and so far it hasn't fixed itself...
Coaxed the starter into life. Really need to do something about it. [ATTACH] Went get milkshakes. It's running okay but it's definitely grumpy...
Car's still here. Still going places. [ATTACH] Phil
Sadly yes. Here, those do nothing but get moldy in summertime. Idling with the A/C on my newer pickup will drop about a pint of water on the...
