Better question, What were you doing traveling through monitor? not a whole lot to see.

Has it been sitting lately. My A sat for a long while recently and i couldnt get it to run right so i ordered a carburetor kit and adjusted the floats i dont have a problem now. Its not too expensive so instead of trying to fix it i just rebuilt it.

altight well maybe ill have to pound some anchors to the floor and chain her up.

Thanks for the help guys. I dont realy have a place to chain the frame down so im going to try to switch side with the motor mounts.

Tight. No play at all

Last night i was trying to see what i had that worked for the brake system and i ran into a bit of a problem. When i hit the brake pedal the brake cross shaft rubs the tailshaft area of the transmission. Is there a braket that is supposed to hold it up? there is no play in the area I tried...

It looked better from a distance like most stuff now its all in pieces as you can see from the pictures. I hope ill have it done fairly soon.

The place that powder coats for the company we buy from is very reputable and for the price we pay it better not be the cheapest job. Maybe they just see to much use. Im not saying that you shouldnt powder coat a frame, My el camino frame was powder coated about 7 years ago it only has about...

They say that powder coating is flexible but we have 11 boats at my work that come with powder coated wrap around railings and they flex and have the tendency to crack and chip. I would say that its a load of BS ive had it chip alot.

Well thanks to the help from you guys my jalopy project is moving along. I am doing a garage grade resto to make a decent driver. Went thourgh motor, carb, and dist and the motor is running smooth now. I got a couple questions, Has anyone used the repop brake rods from brattons? Where is the...

But remeber engineers arn't allowed to no anything about cars especially about fixing them. Just ask someone from the general public and they will tell you.;) I like what you did, Im going to consider doing this modification to my A. Thanks for the luck ill take all i can get.

I understand what your saying im only an enigneering student but I did make it to staticts, dynamics, and physics. You are saying is that by lengthing the front brake arms you trade force for distance. Simple mechanics, Like using a pully set up. You have a longer arm so you have more torque...

Well this is what i have done sofar. Completely went through the dist and rewired it. New plugs. oiled the cyls and valves, put a new belt on. Took the sarter of and cleaned it up and rewired it, New battery. Went through and cleaned the carb including blowing through the jets. I put my...

Ill give it a try

I choke it and no fuel comes out. I removed all of the jets, blew through them. and and cleaned the whole carb, and checked the needle/seat before i tried to run here. If my valves are working i would assume i have proper vacume becuase i have bad or leaking gaskets anywhere i can see.
