The 1/2" starter is for the early 28's with the multi disc clutch, it was needed for clearance between the flywheel and housing, it also had a different headless bolt to hold the bendix spring in place. You can use a 1/2" starter in a later car with the single disc clutch but not the other way...

Hi Brent, in total I have 5 projects to work on, a '29 Whippet, this 28 pickup, a '47 ford pickup, a '49 Hudson and my wife's '68 beetle. I took a basic welding course as part of my community college education in "farm mechanics" and am fairly proficient in stick, oxy and mig. To start my...

I like the cardboard template idea, that's a great idea. Thanks for all the other ideas as well folks. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] I've done some oxy welding in the past, for the cost of gas I felt this was a more economical way to go in the long run and so far I'm not finding tig welding...

Hello and Merry Christmas folks. Just going to start repair on a CCPU for my CAA truck. As I approached this project (and the stack of projects I am collecting as time goes on) I made the decision to get a tig welder for body work as the consensus is that a tig is better than a mig for this. I...

Fun Car Games for our Club's 40th Birthday & Summer Picnic Get a big inflatable ball (4-5' across) and set up some goal posts a few hundred feet away, fastest time to score a goal wins Use pool noodles on the bumpers to save popping the ball

Now you have really made me to want to get that critter going again just so I can play haha !

The one I use I just use brute force to get the plug into the hole, I use it on any engines that don't get run much or have a tendency to foul the plugs, from the lawn mower to the John Deere D, my grandpas B is a real plug-fouler, I have a spare set of clean plugs in the tool box at all times...

You could try one or two of these, I use one under the hitch of my 3/4 ton long box when working on it to take the wiggle out of it, it sure stabilizes things https://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/big-red-2-ton-tripod-stand/A-p8662918e;jsessionid=wMl04beE1tuIM17xpXpCsuAM.pal-prod-com2
