I'm working thru a list of items needing attention and I'm not sure where to start on this next one. When I turn the steering wheel whether out for a drive or just pushing the vehicle in the driveway, the horn starts to blow. Sometimes just a toot and sometimes longer. It's parked now because...

Mission accomplished. Thanks for the assistance. The proper amount of persuasion with a well chosen mallet did the trick. Made good progress with disassembly until time to remove roller bearing sleeve from the water pump housing. It and the rear washer, felt, & retainer remain in the...

Actually several questions… 1) How much force does it take to remove the fan assembly from the shaft? I’ve removed the cotter pin + castle nut and the fan assembly is holding fast. Am I missing something else or can I be less gentle with it. 2) In rebuilding / reassembly, are the packing...

Just a little guy at the time and hadn't even started school yet but old enough to know something very bad had happened. Where did the 50 years go. Wow.

Condolences on the loss of your father. He has been helpful to many people in the past and his knowledge will live on in this forum for people to benefit for years to come.

Congrats. I'm looking forward to 2014 as well. Especially given the rainout this year.

45-50.

Flushed the radiator yesterday and doesn't seem to be running as hot but will try and give it a better workout today and verify if there is any improvement. I think the timing on this one is suspect as well. Spark lever has to be almost all the way down to crank and run. Won't crank if fully...

Don't know that I'm ready to debate any of those topics just yet. I still struggle with regular vs. extra crispy. Made great progress with the timing today and Jasper (black) is back on the road. Additional tweaking needed but I think carb repair will be necessary to see greater...

Meet Horace and Jasper. Both 1929 Special Coupes. Jasper is the black one - have had him about 18 months. Brought Horace home Saturday. I'm not sure what color you call that nor if it was offered in 29. Jasper is a driver all the way. Put over 2000 miles on him last year. I just installed a...

Just acquired a 29 Special Coupe. Been lurking around awhile but time to become legitimate. Looking forward to learning what I can from the other threads and posting my questions to you guys.
