So much for Kind and Respect! Brent

$15 for the wrench and $15 to ship it! I just bought a 8 point 7/16 socket from Amazon for $9 shipped free.

I refuse to pay Snyder's over priced prices. I will spend a whole day making my own first.

I looked through all my sockets and wrenches for what would fit the brake adjustment shaft. I don't want to damage the shaft by using a loose fitting tool. I was trying to find a socket in my collection that fit ok. I think I want a 7/16 8 point socket but not sure. What do you use? I have...

I will be 85 in April. Getting old os Not for Sissies !

Sorry,,,I was attempting to show a photo of my Marvel Carburetor, but I failed.

Cool, We might be in Albany next week in,,would be fun to attend, thanks J Franklin.

Ok, so after a lot of tapping and prying on the distributor and squirting some penetrating oil back under the distributor, I got it loose and out. Now while out, I have ordered new bushings, and drive shafts and a modern points set up. I have some anti seize compound and will coat the...

It looks like most states have about the same as far as registering our old tin. And my insurance was way less for Liability and collision. I was surprised at the cost. Now if it would stop raining and blowing so I could enjoy my new tin, I would be very happy.

They didn't tell me of any restrictions, but I will check. I don't plan on it being a daily driver. I sure as hell don't want to drive among all the idiots on Hwy 101 where I live.
