Thanks for the advice! And what is the best was to try and turn the motor over?

And what would the process be for trying to free the engine. Just pouring some of the solution in the spark plug hole every day Ana trying to turn the engine over by one of the pulleys? I've never dealt with a frozen block. And just for some background the guy I bought it from said he turned the...

What is mmo?

Hello I'm from so cal and just got a 49 pickup. The previous owner had it sitting outside for the last few years so it's got a bunch of surface rust. But body is pretty straight! All stick motor and trams. He turn d it over a year ago, but when we tried to do it today it would not budge. And...

GAV? What is that? And when the new pets came they were all seperate. That was the issue. When I put the needle into the housing it wouldn't screw in because it couldn't catch the threads until I opened the end up a little bit. Then it was able to catch the threads and screw in...

I ordered the spring kit that goes above all of this so now I will hopefully have a functional choke. Pet my previous posts I have quite a smoking issues while driving. I'm really thinking is running so rich and that is why it's smoking... The chokes screw has previously been basically unscrewed...

I just installed a new adjusting needle and a new adjusting needle housing. Both are threaded. The housing screws into the carb, and the needle strews into the housing. Well to get the needle to even catch any threads, I had to pry apart the little slots in the end of the housing, then it was...

Just fixed it! It was on private. Sorry, but it works now!!

So I just purchased a 29 a few weeks ago and park it in the garage. But it really smells like gas. Any ideas?? Thanks

Yeah the tank only has a few gallons in it... That is why it's so weird. But possibly , I'm hoping, the vents are clogged. When I get off I'll Check that and let you know.. It's just kind of odd that it never happened before I installed the washer/gasket that goes in the cap. It didn't have one...

Too funny!!!!! But trust me, it's the best magic trick I've seen!!

I'll check the vent holes when I get home later today. But yes James, that is what is so weird. The tank is not close to full and it is all wet all around the gas cap on the top of my cowl. Like it splashed out when I was driving or something... But maybe it's the vent holes..

So I have a problem. I recently purchased a gas cap washer. I believe it is leather or some material like that. Well I installed it in my cap and screwed my gas cap on. Well my car has been parked in the garage for about a week and the smell of gas is super strong. Well right by the gas cap...

I agree with everyone and leave it stock. It's only that way once! I'm only 36, have had 3 hot rods and sold them all. And all I wanted after my hot rods was a bone stock model a, which I just found. It's so cool to me that I have a totally original stock car that has been around since 1929! So...
