Oh man i tried an inch wrench and 20inch lbs (wrenches minimum) i could see was gonna ve too much. I just snugged them down and watched the gasket and made sure they were about the same feel. Id have to guess it was closer to 15 in lbs. Reason i was in there is my A has always had a pretty...

Awesome, i do the same thing for chevy valve covers with rtv on the cover side and grease on the engine side. Just wasnt sure about this being verticle and low on the engine. Any torque specs or should i just give em a good snug like a 350 too?

Just wondering if i should apply rtv to the valve cover gasket when using a cork gasket?

I wanted to check ours but alot of the members said they enjoyed hearing the impaled duck sounds

ya spare tire lol. last trip i went on I took my 69 caprice because our A was waiting for parts. Ive never needed a spare before usually just cruze around town. well the gas station attendant was cool hooked me up with some stuff to wash my car and I told him I'd do a burnout. So I do a 69...

user growley bear has an incredible box that as i recall he made. Its awesome rolls down with the fenders in front, really looks like it belongs there, like part of the car. would love to have one just like it haha

The attendants pump it here in Oregon but if you have an expensive motorcycle or classic car they get you started and you can pump it yourself. If i'm filling my 68 or 69 impala up all the way I always do it myself because they ALWAYS spew gas everywhere, like 4 feet out and 4 feet wide spray...

I just did it the other day with bout 2.5 gallons of vinegar. the inside was filled with disgusting rust colored slime. almost like grease. i put it in ran it for an hour and flushed the hell out of it. the reason i did it was the temp guage wasn't functioning at all, I removed it altogether...

wanted to say tho, little innocent kids. they look great in the rumble seat, and when they're all innocent and young they're impressionable. as someone stated before, thats how u plant the seed of interest. those are the kids that will appreciate these cars. We were lined up yesterday and thise...

knuckle sandwich. I used to work at a sandwich shop and had my 49 plymouth parked outside in the lot. look up and theres a kid opening the trunk and every door and the big A-H that i guess was supposed to be watching him didn't do anything just let him (wasn't even really watching him)...

the places here that sell non ethanol only have 2 choices. regular ethanol added 87 or non ethanol 92. I live on the coast, they use it mostly for boats. the 2 pumps are separate and clearly labeled.

not sure exactly but I found the hard way 6v systems require much larger cable than 12, i tried to replace the negative (positive ground car) on my 49 plymouth with a typical starter to battery cable from the parts store. I didn't make it 20ft before it lit a fire in the engine compartment which...

our 31 has some pretty bad sticking going on, i poured some streight into the cylinders and it smoked hard then ran better but still sticking a bit. im gonna try it in the fuel next fill up.

haha gotta wonder if thats the car we have. I understand the steering locked up completely. right now it dumps the oil on the ground overnight.

so we got a zenith 1 from one of the members of the local A club, i tried it right away and it fell on its face if i gave it throttle which i was told it did. I tore it down and soaked it in carb cleaner besides the valve under the fuel adjustment needle which had to be drilled out and luckily...
