To answer your original question, yes, there is a secret to double-nutting, and that is to tighten the nuts against each other so that there is tension between them. That is done by putting a wrench on each nut and turning the lower nut up against the upper (or front) nut. Do not just tighten...

I don't think they mail out from Garden City, but you can drop in at the MARC headquarters and talk to them about it.

Are you working on a AA frame or an A frame?

The manifold washers are made to provide equal clamping load on the two manifolds, even when they (the tabs on the manifolds) are of unequal thickness. They just tilt a little and will equalize the load from the nut on the stud. This is important to even the compression of the gasket. The...

Yeah, but she gets the looks when she pulls up driving anything!

I have a 15" one with no numbers visible on it. I also have a Budd wrench with a number, and different length, which I am guessing is a little later than the AA wrench.

It's shaping up to be a wonderful museum, folks. Worked there today and will tomorrow, too. Grand opening ceremony is May 18. There is more interesting stuff there than you can imagine, and more coming every week. Cars, parts, accessories, advertising, tools, fashions, cutaways, derivatives...

My first car was a '48 Kaiser that Grandpa had quit driving when he got a '56 Buick. I used to give the neighborhood kids thrill rides up and down the lanes on Grandpa's farm, which had steep enough hills that I could make it fly if I went over at 55. Our farm was across the road (US 20 in NY)...
