Thank you all.

Thank you Mike.

Thank you alexiskai. I don't know. I will try to take them apart.

Hello, my Intake Manifold is cracked. A vendor in the USA offers me a good original one. Is that a good idea or should I wait for a new one. The new manifolds are out of stock until summer. Thank you for your help. Many greetings from Germany. Gernot

The copper terminal on the starter switch is corroded. I cleaned the the surface and it is bright now. But how do I protect the copper from corrosion? In an article they recommended dielectric grease. But that's an insulator. Thank you in advance.

Thank you all for the helpful answers.

I'm looking for the best way to smoothen the pitted seat (machined into the casting) of the gas adjusting needle in my Zenith 2 carburetor. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately the brass hex of the GAV housing is completely damaged. So I have to use the propane torch.

Thank you all. I will try it with my propane torch.

I have to remove the frozen GAV assembly on my Zenith carburetor. So I take a welding torch and apply heat to it. Then I have to dunk the carburetor into a pot of cold water. But isn't that dangerous for the casting? I'm afraid of cracking it. Thank you in advance.

Thank you all. I think I will move to a warmer country.:D

Has anyone an idea how to preheat the engine to reduce the wear? Thank you in advance. Gernot

Thank you very much for all the answers.

When there is no clamp for the distributor pop out cable on #8 head bolt, I have to add a spacer of the same thickness. That's what Tom Endy describes in his fantastic article "Henry's Way". My car has no clamp and no spacer. Could someone please tell me the right thickness. Is it recommendable...
