I use 4 ounces of Seafoam per tank of non-ethanol gas. I drive the car all year and have no adverse results in the three years I've been responsible for the car. The owner ran the same formula for eight years before I took over maintenance. I add about two ounces of Marvel Mystery oil twice...

The car is a 1930. I did have to make the exact screw you pictured. I was able to do that with a drill, files and hacksaw. I feel I have a personal connection to the car now that I made something for it instead of ordering and getting someone else's work.

I appreciate that color. I am fond of the green also but would like that on the fenders (if that were my personal car). I expect there isn't much of a leap from the attention you give the 32's you have and this new car.

I always check ground wire connections first. I see that you don't have the dust covers on your starter and alternator. If you get grit inside those units, you may not be completing the electrical circuit. When I urn the gas out of the carb (as you said you did) I need an extra three to...

Changed my mind on another post. Carry on.

Thank you Bob C. I was indeed working on the bendix you have shown. Tough little buggers to figure out. But I have the time and haven't been licked by any machine yet.

That photo in the windshield is the deceased owner Tad Provence. He comes with the car (dead or not).

I am not sure if I knew Mr. Lucas. I've been in Mississippi since 1990 but am from NC. (1956 to 1988) and spent a few years traveling with different jobs.

You are correct Bob. The Ramblin' Wreck (Georgia Tech car) is owned by the Univ. This car (Ramblin' Rebel) is still privately owned and not part of the school (except to promote team spirit by the car's owner Tad Provence) Note: Tad passed away in 2017 and left instructions that I (or someone)...

The white walls are from the Firestone plant in Rocky Mount NC. Better priced if you buy two at a time. So I've been told.

I was wondering when anyone would realize this thing was out there in the "wild". I can still answer questions about this machine. By the way, the Blue is a Mazda color. I didn't get to choose the color, I just have to repair any scratches.

What model Zienth do you have? I have an #1 and did my own rebuild. The info was youtube available, service manuals and parts easy to get. If you don't find someone else to do the job, you get bragging rights with the DYI.

I haven't been on line for a while but thought I'd share a little project. The screws on the starter backed out and damaged the armature. Thank God there was no damage to the fly wheel. But, then the issue arose. Where does one get the set screw for the bendix? I couldn't find one, so I...

Is it a Sparton horn? There are excellent rebuild videos on youtube. If you need to rewind the copper I would get a professional unless you have great skills I don't possess.

Well Russ, step 1, cuss - check. Step 2, photo and post - check. Step 3, allot time, grab wrench, remove fender, call buddy, deliver fender, wait, wait, pray, wait. Step 4, pay buddy lots of cash and beer and reverse step 3 and step 1. I'll get back to the group.
