Very true!! You never know when and where those little gems of information will come from.

Thanks guys for all the information. The crazy thing is that I have cleaned stuff up like this for years and never knew the dangers.

Aah yes, I have that too. Thanks.

THanks. Once removed, can you just spray everything good with Lysol?

Thank You. As usual, I have already done one seat cushion without any protection. Learned of the warning after the fact. It has been a couple of months with no apparent issues. Hopefully, everything is OK.

I am in the restoration process on a Model A that was stored for many years. I have discovered more than one nest tucked away in the seat springs. Normally I would just reach in and pull out and/or vacuum out to remove as much as possible. Also, the upholstery will be removed anyway since it is...

I am not doing it myself, and the guy that is doing my metal/body work has not done one before. Question: Are there fit up problems(when fitting to the car afterwards) if you change the inner out to convert to rumble?

Is it a good idea or a bad one to put a little anti-sieze on the secondary well threads before screwing it in. Will it help later in possible future repairs or rebuilds?

Thanks Tom. Just what I needed to know. I will go check out your rig.

I am rebuilding my Zenith carburetor and want to test the float level. I have everything I need to do so. I am still in the middle of a total restoration and the car will not be running for a while. I want to rebuild the carb and have it ready for when it is ready to run. My question is this...

Brent, I spoke to Jim just last week about the orifice size on the jets. I ended up getting a set of "corrected" jets from him and they arrived this past Thursday. He was a joy to talk to and he answered all of my questions. He will most certainly be in my prayers. Jim, Stay strong and fight...

Thanks again everyone for the information! I have downloaded Tom Endy's article and it looks excellent. THanks!
