Am not confident with my fuel gauge. Would like to make a stick with inches. Would I hit the float sticking it, do you put anything on the stick to see the fuel level and how many gallons per inch

The cost is 110 with the trade in

I need a new battery and my local auto store has one. My question is should I buy it there or go to a farm supply store that sells more 6 volt batteries and do they have a date code on them.

Had lots of cars and only checked the timing on one. How often should you check the timing of a model a.

I tested my starter with new jumper cables and it’s good. I believe my original problem was my starter switch. There was no grommet on the firewall and the starter rod went through a 1 inch diameter hole. When I went to start it I pushed on an angle and the felt tip on the end of the rod slipped...

My last post was about a starter switch. I rebuilt that and wanted to check the starter before I put it back on. My cables are bad and couldn’t try it so I took the starter out and brought it home. Hooked up a 6 /12 volt charger and on 6 volt it hummed loud and tripped the charger. I put it on...

My starter rod has no spring. I would think that has nothing to do with the bendix stuck

First I’d like to say my cars at my vacation home and I can’t try any advice for a week or two. My car doesn’t start. The starter won’t turn over. I rocked it and jacked it up turned the wheels and don’t think the benix is stuck. The starter rod seems to have lost its spring. I can tell by...

Actually last year I put it up on jack stands drained the transmission and rear filled with transmission fluid started it up and ran through the gears. When spring came did the same thing, drained and replaced with correct fluid. My question is will idling for a long time foul the plugs. I’ve...

While still jacked up is it ok to start up and idle till it heats up. It’s not where I live and before taking it down I check the fluids and grease it.

I’m removing floor boards to do a spring cleaning. The upper board gas petal button is too big for the hole. Does that unscrew or do I have to remove it from below. #2 I have a roadster with no body protectors for the back window.i know I have to put something down for that but is there other...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I’ll fill it with kerosene, shift through the gears and drain it.

I can do kerosene and just ride it up the block and back. The car has 3200 miles and maybe the owner couldn’t get the bolt off because the rear oil was almost clear and the transmission was very dirty.

I haven’t updated my original post because my car is 100 miles from my house. I cleaned the plug and with a little muscle and a very large adjustable I got it off. The case isn’t cracked but the oil came out very dirty compared to the rear which looked clean. My question is I was thinking of...

Used a 10 inch adjustable wrench while hitting it with a hammer. I’m surprised it’s so tight because there’s oil dripping off of the plug. I think I’ll wipe it down good heat the plug then try a pipe wrench. Just wanted to make sure it’s a right hand thread.
