I did re-torque but only once after heating the motor up. I will get some sealant for the stud tomorrow and also check the manifolds for trueness. Thank you for the replies. I thought I could use sealant, but wanted some more opinions. Again, thank you all.

I replaced the head gasket a few weeks ago, in time for the membership meet in Bay City. We had water leaking between block and head. Found out I put the copper gasket on upside down. A great head slapping duh moment for me. Carefully removed head and gasket, cleaned and sprayed with copper...

Okay, been working on my dad's 1930 Tudor. We recently replaced the exhaust manifold, new gaskets, studs, nuts, etc. Did a compression check today and #3 and #4 were under 50 psi. Compression check was from loss of power when accelerating in 3rd gear. Pulled the manifolds and the stud between...

I am looking for an original 28-29 windshield frame with or without glass. It doesn't have to be perfect, but looking to do minimal restoration (i.e. surface rust is fine). Hopefully there is one out there.

Thank you. just put on a rebuilt carb. Did it myself so probably not perfect. I will check it out more this weekend. Thanks everyone.

So, I put it back on the ground and I was able to drive it forward and reverse. I chanced taking it out on our street (not busy) and drove it to the end of the block and back (about 1000 ft). Ran down the road fine and reverse to turn around fine. However, when I tried to accelerate, it would...

After I checked the clutch disc and gears, I made sure the ujoint was moving by taking off the lower cover a looking through the grease baffle. Ujoint was good. Jacked up the car and ran to see if wheels turned. They turned a little. Took the wheels off and found right rear did not have a...

Checked this morning and engine does not turn when pushing it in gear. Clutch disc also looks newer. Going to troubleshoot some more I'll keep y'all posted.

When the clutch is let out it will stall. I did not look at the engine when pushing, I will check int he morning.

Hello All, I am having an issue and just need some advice on what to do next. I have been working on my Dad's 1930 Tudor. Got engine running after sitting for awhile. However, When I put it in gear, the car will not move, even when giving a lot of throttle. I found just reset the clutch play as...

I measured an original pitman arm at 8 11/16 inches. that is overall from top to bottom.

Can you measure the pitman arm. Many times people shorten them to get better response out of the steering instead of fixing the real problem. A photo of the front axle where the drag link attaches would also be good. I will check lengths of mine in the morning here in Michigan and get back to you.

Re: Kudos for Bratton’s I ordered from Bratton's on Tuesday morning. After working on some items, I remembered to order a couple other parts. When I called to add the parts, they already had my original order shipped out. Now that is super fast service!

I need to find an OD-O1, O2, or O3 open car wiper motor. I prefer ready to put on, however, if you have one that needs rebuilding, I am not afraid of work. Thank you for your replies.

The other body style close to the A400 is the Victoria. However, I concur that it maybe cheaper to get an A400.
