    oil pan gasket sealant application

    I use the cork gasket with "Gasgacinch" on the pan and adjoining gasket. Nothing on the block. Never had a problem and it is a lot easier to take the gasket off the pan, if necessary, than the block.

    Valve adjusting

    All I've done is take the valve cover off and take out the spark plugs so it is easy to raise and lower the valves.

    Rumble Seat vs. trunk values

    We have taken many cross country trips in our coupe. We just take the seats and have a trunk. When we get back we put the seats in and the grand-kids are happy.

    How do you prevent theft of your car?

    It would take a little time, but take out the rotor and the "A" is going nowhere. We did that in high school just to mess a guy up.

    Raising coupe body

    My experience has been that I just went to a DMV with the engine #, and paper work and if that wasn't enough I went to another DMV . That was quite a while back but it worked. .

    Broken bendix--part two

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I sawed it off and will get a new armature. The shaft was crooked as a dogs hind leg.

    Headliner sagging is there a ez fix?

    Try using a steam iron. Just a little steam at a time. Let it dry. It worked for me.

    Bendix removal

    The starter armature shaft is bent and cracked so I need to replace it. I have the modern type starter gear on it but I am unable to get it off.. The screw is out and lots of WD 40 applied. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    A short someplace--part two

    A while back I asked for help because the car would not start, and when I had the lights on and pushed on the brake the lights almost went out. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I changed starters, switches, rocked the car while in high gear and re-charged the battery. Nothing changed...

    A short some place?

    Car won't start. Battery charged. Test light shows current every where it should be. Turn lights on and press on the starter and lights almost go out. Have tried different starter and starter switch and checked cable from battery to starter and it is OK. What do I try next? Thank you very...
