    So much for Irish Spring and Dryer Sheets.....

    This trap has a tube to put in the peanut butter which is almost impossible for the rat to eat without setting the trap.

    So much for Irish Spring and Dryer Sheets.....

    warning on sticky traps * * if you don't nail them to something lots heavier than the rat they will flip and flop all over your shop and leave a sticky, bloody, hairy mess. Ask me how I know this...

    Big 3 Swap Meet

    I bought my Feb 2019 ticket at the swap last year. I hope that will still be good. I'm not surprised on lack of interest in the August meet. It would dilute the February meet attendance and even though near the beach it could still be very hot.

    Why No Bob Drake at LA Roadster..?

    For me, seeing a few hundred similar 32 "shiny" roadsters is boring. The real show is the variety of grubby - shiny cars in the swap area. I was a vendor and sales were dismal, but I plan to try again next year. The show can't survive another drop in attendance by vendors or spectators so they...

    Internet auction experience,NOT Good

    Even though the seller sometimes gets irritated I try to make sure the packaging will protect the item. I have had rare parts packed poorly and arrive broken. The refund is not much consolation when you know it may be years before you find that part again. I had a 35 Chrysler intake manifold...

    window glass with Ford script

    The back glass is delaminating in my 1937 four door humpback. Does someone make cut glass with the Ford script so it looks original?

    De-rusting with molasses

    I have used it for years. I got a 5 gallon bucket of liquid molasses at a feed store. I think it was under $25. I mix it with water about 10-1 then throw parts in and leave them for a few weeks. I had some rusted window regulators that freed up and came out looking great. The smell is not bad...

    Motometer water temp gauge repair?

    Someone snipped the probe end off of my Motometer. Can I cannibalize one from another gauge? Is there someone out there who specializes in repairing these? thanks

    Optima 6v battery

    I think they stamp a code on the case to tell the year and month when it was made. I saw a youtube video that showed a number starting with 6J = 2016 and J is 10th letter in alphabet so 10/2016. Another battery had G5... so year = 2015 and G is 6th letter so 06/2015.

    what fuel regulator for electric fuel pump

    It's actually for a 1935 Chrysler Airflow, but I figured it would be similar to my stock 1937 Ford as far as carb and pressure. I'm using a Carter P4070 pump. Its says it has 4-6 psi Output. My float needle doesn't hold back the pressure and it floods.

    what fuel regulator for electric fuel pump

    I have an auxiliary electric fuel pump to prime the carb or if the mechanical one fails. I have it on a switch so I only turn it one when needed. What is a good fuel pressure regulator to put in line?
