    What thread for wind wing mounting?

    Does anyone know the thread size of the wind wing/wiper stanchion line mount holes on the back of the '30 deluxe open car stanchions (probably reproduction stanchions in my case)? I can't seem to find bolts to fit them. 5/16 is too small. 3/8 is too large. Could they be metric? Fine thread...

    Horn short circuit

    OK, I admit that I don’t understand my horn’s wiring. Actually, I don’t understand any wiring. If you use terms like “complete the circuit to ground,” or “the field collapses,” I have no idea what you are talking about. My car is stock, 6V positive ground. My horn works well, but recently I...

    How to upload photos

    I'm sure this has been discussed many times, but I can't find the information. I have photos on a MacBook and iPhone I'd like to post, but cannot find instructions for how to do it. I can't even upload them into my album, because the site calls them "invalid." Any ideas?

    Stuck 1930 steering wheel

    My 1930's spark and throttle rods are extremely stiff, so I wanted to disassemble the steering column to check the bushing, etc. However, my steering wheel is apparently irremovable. I've got the M.A.C. wheel puller and a big wrench and hammer, but the wheel will not come off. The threads...

    Dreaded stuck timing gear nut

    Well, here we are in August, and my car is disassembled. Although it was running well, I found several teeth missing from the timing gear, and disassembled the front of the engine to install a new one. However, there is apparently no force on earth that can remove the old cam nut. I've tried...

    Anybody know what this box is?

    This was bolted to a makeshift trailer hitch on the back of my Tudor when I bought it in 1991. It's been in my attic ever since. Anyone know what it was originally designed to do? There's a manufacturer's logo on the bottom of the lid that has been painted over.

    Idle stalling mystery solved!

    I'd previously posted a problem in which my Tudor (Zenith carb) would intermittently fail to idle. The only solution seemed to be disassembly and flush-out of the carb, after which it would continue to run fine, until it didn't, usually only a few miles later. I suspected fuel contamination...

    Intermittent idle problems

    I'm trying to diagnose an intermittent carb problem. Zenith in a '30. The car runs fine most of the time, but will occasionally stall at a stop sign and then fail to idle when restarted. Carb is clean, float is properly set and idle mixture screw is open 1.5 turns. I initially suspected a...

    Problems with Bratton's Bendix drive?

    I recent'y ordered a new starter gear drive from Bratton's (the original style, not the barrel type) and discovered an apparent problem. The drive is designed in such a manner that when the piniongear spins out of engagement as the engine starts, it jams itself into into place on the drive shaft...

    Brake drum turning question

    I have a '30 with cast iron drums. When I had one of my front hubs replaced (by mail), the swaging of the wheel studs apparently warped the drum. When the brakes are cold, there is quite a pulse as the car is slowed, but once they warm up, the pulse almost disappears. I have two questions...
