They are very prone to warping. I built a jig to clamp the upper body to. It has a serious of small clamps the surround the perimeter of the upper half. I put the jig and carb into my wife's oven and heat it up to about 450, then start tightening the clamps. Works pretty darn well. The jig is...

I guess a lot of people like to know what their car will do.. I'm no different, Got 60 MPH out of my Town Sedan. The motor was moaning and I was a little freaked out.... actually pretty scared.

I used the wire type on my 30... I find they work really great. Never had any luck at all with the flat type. With the wire type, as soon as I take my foot off the brake the pedal comes right back and the stop light switch comes off. They worked so great on my 30, I'm using them on the 29...

I live in Nova Scotia Canada... a number of years back we toured the Parkway. Absolutely beautiful. I'll never forget it. We also spent some time in the Luray Caverns. Amazing spectacle... that was a trip of a life time.
