OK guys, trying to uload a photo. This is the first "Quick and Dirty" version, it works great. I made it out of .025 AL2, and hand bent everything. Now that it works, I plan to get a piece of .035, and take it to factory where I retired, borrow their shears and hand break. I will fold the...

Would be happy to share the photos, but haven't attached photos before and don't know how to do it. Can anyone give me the steps involved? Thanks, Ron

Ran about 60 miles last night with the ambient temp at 92 degrees F, never missed a beat. I'm not going to argue with the "Vapor Lock is a myth" experts because for them it can't happen, didn't happen, will never happen. I would simply mention that I didn't change the coil, I didn't change the...

UPDATE -- Put an insulator tube on the steel gas line, and fabricated an AL2 heat shield above carb and in front of exhaust pipe/manifold connenction. Left the winter fuel in and took it out for an 89 degree drive. Carb was running 151 degrees, but now with the heat shield in place, only got...

OOPS, sorry for the double post, I didn't notice it had gone to two pages and when I didn't see my response, assumed I forgot to hit the "Submit Button." Ron

Thanks to all who have offered such great suggestions. Also appreciate it not degenerating into a "Vapor Lock Doesn't Exist" debate. I don't care what we call it, fuel stops flowing to the carb, and whatever you call it, it won't run that way! To answer some questions posed: 1. There are...

Not running any filters of any kind other than what Henry put in at the factory. Cleaned the tank and lined it, new strainer inside tank on top of the fuel shutoff valve, and cleaned and installed new drain valve in the original cast sediment bowl. Then use a Snyder's steel gas line from the...

Thanks for the responses. I am certain that it is not sediment in the fuel, as I can simply wait for 5 seconds then a full 1/4 inch stream of gasoline flows steadily. I drove into the shop with the engine starving for fuel, cut the ignition without touching the fuel valve. Immediately opened...

OK, I know that 100 guys will jump in and say tha Vapor Lock is a complete myth, doesn't happen, 95% of vapror lock is actually ignition problems that show up when engine is hot. So let me tell you my story and see if you have any suggestions. '29 Tudor, totally restored from ground up. Not...

Having grown up on a '36 vintage truck, I learned to double clutch before I learned to drive! Just got my '29 Tudor running and double clutching it is a breeze. But, your question is just what does double clutching do? When your are upshifting, I.E. going from first to second and then to...

Thanks for the advice, Ron

Just a a bot more information, these are original tack strips and gutters, just sand blasted, filled the rust pits and painted, so I don't have to shape to the car, they are already shaped. Question I have is where do you start, seems like it has to be at the curved end, but I vaguely remember...

I have the tack strips installed, ready to put the gutters on. Any tips on how to proceed? Thanks

That was my initial post, if you go to the top of the forum, you will see my response to the helpful gentleman who posted the photos for me. Very detailed photo showing all the holes. Ron

OK, thanks a lot for the photos, that resolved my problem. I purchased a windshield frame advertised as a '29. As soon as I saw your pictures, I realized I have a 30/31. Was able to drill out the rivets on the sides and install my brackets from the '29. A friend traded me even up for the 30...
