I ran my 29 Pk Up with a 32 pump, with a Lion Head, no fan, a pressurized Walker extra core Rad in the Virgin Islands, 85 winter 95 Summer and NEVER had a heat up problem, NEVER. In fact it ran to cool. Iceman

Pipe wrenches???????????

What a miss match. Its not a 29, it got a 30 shell on the rad got a power house genny. Some folks will fall for any story. And the music was BAD. Iceman

Cast Iron can be welded with a low heat nickel rod. Had it done, but he was good. Iceman

Snyder's knows about seat springs. The old man Snyder got started in business by making seat springs.

In the shop at Pennsylvania Drilling Co. Esplin, Pgh.Pa. There was a Pk Up in the shop and it had a radio, so we all listened to the news.

That usually happens after the drain pan has been removed and the new oil runs on the ground or shop floor. I saw one guys A several yrs back that never needed oil in the twenty yrs that he had it. Some one installed a grease fitting in the plug hole on the side of the block and He just gave it...

Well I ran my 29 Pk Up with a warmed up B engine, NO fan and a 32 V8 water pump and the rad was a Walker made for pressure. Also this truck was in St.Thomas,VI. with a lot of REAL heat. The engine NEVER ran hot, even in traffic. Iceman

Yea I met a fellow who said he never added oil to his A in over 20 Yrs. He was right. Some one added a zerk fitting to the block where we would add a fitting to check for oil pressure. So every time he went for a ride he gave the old engine a shot of grease and away he would go. True Story. Iceman

If you are working with the oil pan, then get the right tools to work with the oil pan, or get a mechanic. If you...

Sorry the pic I sent did not show. The numbers on the wrench are 01A-17017B Its a box combo and one end looks to be 13/16 so I will still try to post a pic, Iceman

I found this at a yard sale and I would like to know what it was made for. It looks like it would be used for the main bearing bolts, but not sure. I've never seen one quite like it. Iceman

I also found that you need to do something every day, be it large or small. The distributor, the carb, one wheel brake assy. Then do this or something every day or at least 2 -3 things a week. Keeps you focused, you can see thing fixed. When completed hang them or shelf them wrapped up in...
