@ekimneirbo Thanks for posting all that info, filed it away for reference.
@'50_SEDAted Is this a speaker, or a light? If it's a speaker, W.T.F.? [ATTACH]
Very nice work! I like your re-use of the Chrysler "Floating Power" front engine mount.
I don't know about earlier ones, but a '31 Model A has a bead on each side of the trunk lid. [ATTACH]
It depends on how the accelerator pump well is filled, and the taper of it. Some wells fill via a slot that is uncovered when the pump is in it's...
I wish you'd kept this little secret to yourself. I've been grabbing them off of EuroCars for years, and now the salvage yard supply will be more...
Panel adhesive.
Mary Ann.
Traditional vacuum tube unit too. Nice. [ATTACH]
@Johnny Gee likely put you on the right track, but I also want to point out that the items I highlighted above would most likely result in toe...
@Tim Subscribed, and one of these days I need to meet you and have a garage tour.
Kansas. If it's over 35 years old a bill of sale from the seller, and an inspection of the VIN by the Kansas Highway Patrol office is all that is...
Correct. Sandwiching the metal directly between the hammer and dolly will stretch it. "a 3in line that has indented maybe 1/5 inch" means the...
Rusty water was my first thought as well. @Anthony Cerami Do you by chance have one of those crankcase evacuation setups that are plumbed into a...
No issues IF you have a filter with no bypass. If the filter has a bypass and you pump enough crud into the filter, or excess flow into it the...
Adding ether to a smaller that original sensing bulb might be a waste of time. For a given size bourdon tube you need a matching volume of ether...
It appears as though there is a sleeve welded between the two halves of the 4-bar mount. Odd setup.... [ATTACH]
Am I mistaken that these should not be mounted this way? [ATTACH]
Easy to duplicate on a lathe. Know anybody close by with one? A small town machine shop should be able to make one and bill you for one hour.
I have nothing to add regarding ram horn manifolds, but I sure would love to see this happen again.
Have you adjusted the valves? It sounds like you at least have some intake valves stuck, improperly adjusted, or leaking. You should also be able...
$331.35? How did the seller come up with the odd price?
Yes, 1938. I have a friend who has had some "success", and has an extensive collection of collector cars, some common, some extremely rare. A...
High priced, but an 11 year warranty, and the jump start feature is pretty interesting....
Yes, transmissions were Cadillac side-shifters.
Yep, my first thought. Upside down.
Probably all that rust not providing a good ground for the points mounting plate.
I'll be there with bib overalls on, as a tribute. It's pretty much all I ever saw Jimmy wear in the shop.
Neither have I.
Interesting that one of the patents is from 1964. [ATTACH]
