I just need the anti-rattle. I also have a convertible which would help if I have to pull the entire steering column.

What do I need to take apart the steering column to install the anti-rattle felts. I guess I need a step by step and what to watch out for. Also how long should it take to perform this repairs. What else should I consider doing while I have it apart. Thanks

Thank you Mike that is great to know.

I am having an issue with what sounds like popping/backfire in the exhaust when traveling down the road and letting off the gas when going down hill. I have just set the points and confirmed the timing is correct. Any thoughts on what else to check. I have only about 250 miles since engine...

Why not use a pipe wrench?

The oven cleaner is not doing much.

Thanks

Thanks guys, I'm in Georgia. I have some in route and should have them Friday. I will also look for some others at swap meets in the future.

So I took it that he was using mostly the Genuine #2 and adding a small amount of lead based materials creating his own blend. He told me they have been doing babbitt work for more than 80 years.

Carl any idea where I can buy one like this?
