If you still have problems after you try it yourself, send it to PapaNick in Ny. He does a nice job and is very reasonable. He usually advertises in the ads section.

Once while watching Chasing Classic Cars, Roger the old mechanic let it slip that MMO was their "secret juice" they put in the cylinders to loosen engines that have been sitting for a long time. Seems to work for them.

Hey Marty, I have seen that car. It looks amazing. It looks better than a lot of custom paint jobs I've seen.

He does great work and has a really quick turn around time. He recalibrated 2 of mine and they are now right on when compared with the gps.

I have had good luck with the two I bought from Snyder's. They even came already adjusted.

I used a frame spreader from Snyder's on mine and they came out and went back in pretty easily.

He has done 2 for me. Very quick turnaround and very reasonable. He got them to within 2 mph on the gps. They had been off by almost 12mph.

I put a small shutoff valve right near the carb and I shut it off and let it run out of gas when I'm parking it for a while or putting it in my attached garage. Works good for me. I don't use the one inside the car.

I had the exact problem. I thought it was the water pump or the altenator. Just for the heck of it I sprayed some belt dressing on the belt and it immediately went away!

Check and see if the bolts are loose holding the carb to the manifold. I just went through the same thing and the bolts were loose. Also if your running a tilitson carb, make sure it's not warped at the manifold.

I bought a rebuilt one from Bert's. They don't always have them in stock though. I didn't have to give them a core with it.

I went with the rebuilt one from Snyder's. You exchange your old one. It's a little pricey but all you have to do is bolt it in. I didn't need to adjust mine after install. I have replaced them on both of my As with them and I'm totally satisfied.

I use a razor knife and slice through the sidewall and then they come right off. BE CAREFUL though, they don't call them a razor knife for nothing.

I have them on both of my cars and love them. Very easy to install.

I just saw on another site that they are back in business. I bought a used one and they are great for working on our cars. Much safer than jack stands. Also they are still made here in the US. It's great to see an American company come back.
