The texture, color etc of the surface of the radiator appears equal throughout. I will attempt to find a temperature probe and check the temps to see if the difference suggested by the infra red instrument is true. I have to add no water if temp stays under 205 but on a recent tour in 95...

I washed the radiator and block with dishwashing detergent followed by a week of vinegar. I then removed hoses and washed and backwashed the block with one of those plumber's expanding and pulsating clog removers with no trash produced. The radiator man found no obstruction at rodding. I feel...

I had the radiator sniffed for gases. Timing adjusted multiple times, head torqued but not removed for inspection, GAV setting tried in multiple positions, spark lever placed in different positions, and new pump. The radiator is two year old three row repro. Should I remove head for inspection...

Mapping of the temperature of my radiator with infrared thermometer reveals an area of about 10 square inches of surface area with temperatures much hotter than the remainder of the surface. Today after eighteen miles with outside temperature of 94 degrees the temp gauge was steady at 195. After...

Im currently restoring late 29A. My crossbows are in terrible shape. I initially was going to buy new ones but from what I read on forums they are not really cut right. I obtained the schematics but when I draw them out they are no where close to the pieces of bows I have. The arch is different...

I'm looking for 29 front crossmember. Have one?

Looking for 1929 front crossmember

Thanks Ron, My bearing is snug but not tight on the spindle. I will not score the spindle.

When I place the inner wheel bearing on the spindle, I note that the inner ring turns on the spindle. Does the hub prevent this turning when it is tightened? Some mechanics score the spindle with a punch so that the bearing must be pressed on. This, at least temporarily, keeps the inner ring...

I'm a newbie. Recently purchased 1929 cabriolet. Runs well but when I get up to higher speeds begin to get knock. Can't tell for sure where's it's coming from. It's not there at lower speeds or when idling. If the knock is present and I advance the spark it goes away even at high speeds. Have...
