What am I not understanding here?? You have them threaded together and you have TOO MUCH (?) toe IN? According to my miscalculations you would need to spread the wheels to get to 1/16. how are you measuring?

Like Franchise 24 posted, we need an out of state inspection to get a title for a vehicle from out of state. However, this doesn't necessarily mean a trip to the BMV inspection site. In our area, at least one new car dealership will perform the out of state inspection and fill out the form. This...

I recently started getting the notice that only secure content was displayed unless I allow all of it. This happened to me on Smokstak when they changed to a secure server. Has this site always been HTTPS or was that recently changed? Really nothing to get concerned over.

With all the fire threads lately, here's another reminder. WARNING: The images are graphic and may lead to trauma. http://globalnews.ca/news/3301923/devastating-fire-destroys-barn-full-of-antique-cars-worth-millions-north-of-olds/?sf61513254=1

In small engine applications, there is a different filter for gravity feed systems than the ones with a fuel pump.

If yours is 8 5/8, it would be a half inch smaller. That's quite a bit.

Since we can't hook the scanner to it, how about a vacuum gauge? I haven't seen a sticky valve mentioned yet. Dare I say add MMO in the gas??

You could ask your question here. There are probably a few here who know about a model A.

the opposite could also be the case. Maybe he has a resistor with his old coil and the new coil doesn't require one. Then you wouldn't have enough voltage to run the new coil.

My trick for pistons is to pour an inch or so of Kerosene in the bore. Diesel fuel will work, just don't use gasoline. Clean/scrape around the edges of the pistons first. Use a piece of paper as a wick and light the kerosene. Let it burn out and then take a block of wood about the same diameter...

And, the original outcome was never mentioned.

I'd think a ratchet strap would be the best option. More secure than a bungee and easy to open and close.

Spark happens when the points open. If the gap is too close, the points open later making the timing more retarded. If the points are open too far they open early and make the timing advanced. If you set the timing with the points set at .020, when you reset the points you know the timing is on.

A leak down test won't show a bad spring because the valve is forced down by the air pressure.

I think I would take the crank gear off and hang it on the wall as a reminder of what can bite you in the butt. Then, get one that at least has a chance of being right and marked right off the bat.
