I wonder if anybody who ever tried to try drive it survived . . . ? :eek:
I had thought previously about posting a couple links for Lustron Houses. Hope these aren't considered to be too far off-topic. :D...
That process sounds familiar. It seems to me that there used to be two slightly different procedures for installing new bearings and cleaning,...
Keep us posted when you get it sorted out. ;)
Kind of a telling story in this picture. An auto service and gas station and a harness maker next door to each other. I wonder how Mr. Beckett and...
You can spend a lot of time searching thru all the '50s Buick info on that site. https://www.hometownbuick.com/ That's a great tool for sorting...
Just to shake things up a bit. 1930 Ruxton Model A sedan. [ATTACH]
Coping-hack saw?
Here's a little bit of info that might help to sort things out. https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=nboard&th=439293 ;)
If I remember, the A circuit-B circuit thing on an alternator had to do with how the field circuit was grounded. One version was grounded...
You better get some paper loaded up in that T.P. dispenser before you open that can of "Whiz" in your second picture. :rolleyes:
Here's an unusual 3 speed transmission from the early 1900s in a French built Sizaire-Naudin. More of a transaxle, really. Unusual, in a simple,...
Any chance that weak brake shoe return springs could be a contributing factor?
You may be getting advice from some folks that are used to working with later model, off-topic clutch set-ups. Some hydraulic clutches and even...
THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! ;)
You're probably right, but when I saw "solar" I thought of a solar charger connected to an "odyssey" battery. Just seemed a bit vague.
Make sure there is power to the coil ONLY when the ignition is on and when the engine is being cranked or actually running. This may help you...
So is this to say that the newer model chargers are better or worse in some way than the older models? Are they larger or smaller? Harder or...
Datsun sure made some funky looking pick-ups back then. :confused: The only one of these I've ever seen belonged to a waitress at a local...
I wonder if they are even needed for the parking brakes to work properly. Looks like it may have been something used in production only. Maybe...
This online chart may help pinpoint what you're looking at or for. https://victorylibrary.com/mopar/edel.htm#BE intake :cool:
This video shows a similar tool in use. [MEDIA]
LOL! :D Call up your local vinyl sign shop and ask them if they can produce "meat related graphics". :eek: Be sure to record your phone call!...
Always love seeing a before and after shot posted together like this. :D
Some beautiful vintage racers there. The V-twin powered models are particularly interesting to look at. Great eye-candy! :cool:
Yep. '64 was the first year for a V8 in the Nova. Also first year for 5 lug wheels. 13" for 4 and 6 cylinders, 14" for the V8s.
Not a problem. I just thought that some of the issues you were describing sounded like they may have been carburetor related. :rolleyes:
You mentioned in an earlier post that you're running an Edelbrock 650 carb. Is that an AFB or an AVS clone?
Lots of good, clearly written information here that applies to "traditional" automotive ignition systems as well as smaller "model" engines....
Get a straight edge and some feeler gauges and check both the head surface and block deck for warpage. A good shop manual should show you how and...
