Dave and CJ5, I found it. Thank you. It was clear. There is a fair amount of misted oil on the top area of the ******. It appears to have come from this hole, although I assume this is normal.

My transmission was rebuilt two years ago and it leaks from the seals. I was told there is a vent hole near the top of the unit. I am looking but I do not see any vent hole but I also do not know what size hole I am looking for. Any suggestions?

I bought my car in 2008, a '30 Tudor. From the gitgo, when I turned on the light switch, the car would miss. It has a rebuilt 6v generator with now a diode cutout. I have done everything suggested above over the first ten years. New battery, new coil, checked voltages AT the coil...

Great! that worked. Thank you. Jack

Sorry if this question has come up before (I searched and could not find an answer...) I put my car on jackstands and wanted to run the car to see if the wheels are bent. I was told the passenger side might have a wobble and I am installing new tires so I want to change rims now. The driver...

I appreciate your answer. So he tells me that the clunk is coming from that area but it is an aluminum gear (the engine on this car he purchased has only 2500 miles on it). Is it possible that the clunk is a loose gear? Or some spring/plunger thing that Paul Shinn mentions on a video? Thank...

Just one more question on this topic; if I have a clunk coming from this area, I believe it is the timing gear. Does it hurt to run the engine this way or will I just 'break down' and need a tow? Thank you

I just received a few old brake drums and my 1930 has a recessed inny ring around the neck, used for removing the drum. But one of the drums I just received has an outty.... a raised shoulder around the neck in the same spot as my 1930. Is this an older drum, like a 1928? I have never seen...

UPDATE !! I have always been hesitant to ask for help from other club members but my wife insisted that I call a couple older guys who visit to help club members. I HAD tried the Snyders style puller since my first posting but no dice.... Here is the result, Frank used a type that fits on the...

Am I missing the date?

Gents, I have owned my car for 15 years. I have had the rear drums off at least three times in the past. Never needed a puller..... loosen nut, drive down the street and back and pop, the drum comes off. Except this time. The left was easy. The right is completely stuck. I backed off on...

I had this problem for years. No one in my club would believe me. I did all the things suggested above, extra separate ground wires to each of the four lights (front/back), fused, checked voltages lights on and off, new cap, rotor and points several times over the last fifteen years, new coil...

I got a text from a club member, "I checked the oil and gas but failed to check the water. About a mile from the garage smoke comes from everywhere and the engine stops. Engine badly overheated. Got water into the radiator but the engine won't fire. It turns over okay. I called AAA and they...

A guy in our club has a 12 volt system on his A. He keeps having breakdowns because his coil overheats (so hot you cannot touch it). We have tried coils with a resistor and coils with an internal resistor. Voltage at the coil is 13.4 volts when car is running. Car is not overheating. Any...

I have a knock in the engine and have been told to remove the timing gear cover first just to inspect and be sure the knock is not from there. What is involved in doing this? A friend suggested that I need to loosen the engine mount and jack the engine to prevent it from dropping.... I need...
