I replaced my 47s transmission link rod seals a month ago, went off without a hitch, resealed the side plate, and my annoying leak was cured, tight as a drum. Yesterday while cleaning my bench I came across a small pin tapered on each end, son of a biscuit eater, I left the pin that goes in the...

I bought new drums from MAC's the spindle mounts to the outside, I have a chunk of change in these things at this point with having the hubs switched over, and a few other challenges with what should have been a pretty straight forward easy job. The drum will not fit over the new brake pads...

Holy crap, I hope I never have to do this again, it was a wrestling match. I thought I had it whipped at this point, yeah right. It looked like it could explode at any minute. It was a relief to get the distributor bail thrown over it before someone lost an eye.

On the forward end of the block, drivers side is a petcock, what is it for, pic below. On the passenger side looks like a heater hose connection, it has a handy same size bolt crammed in it at the moment as I have the block full of Evaporust, soaking. The car also had the T insert in the...

Are the needle bearing king pin kits worth it over the standard brass bushing sets? I am changing them out on my 47 sedan, drivers side taped right out the top, it came out like taking candy from a baby, passenger side was a nightmare but it came out after cutting the top ring off and driving it...

My points did not come with any lube for the cam lobes, is Dielectric grease ok to use for this purpose, does anything else need serviced while I have it apart other than a good cleaning? 1947, 59ab motor. Thanks for any reply's, you guys are life savers.

Having a problem with the oil pan hanging up on the starter side on a 59ab, it seems hung up on that side for some reason, any suggestions would be welcome, it dropped down every where but that corner where the starter goes.

I have a stuck front brake drum, I'm pretty sure the brakes need backed off, I have tried the two 11/16 adjustment bolts that have the spring under them, I can get about a turn out of them and then it gets pretty solid feeling. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I picked up this 1947 a while back, it was customized in 1968 by a guy with a paint shop in Beloit Kansas, it was in a garage under a tarp for years then sold four years ago, where it sat in an old warehouse. The interior trim and dash were painted candy apple red then striped with a torch and...

I pulled the oil filter assembly on my recently purchased 47, that bad boy had a coal nugget in each of the bottom indentions of the canister, looked like another year or two and it would have turned into a diamond, lol. I pulled the line that runs from the side of the oil filter assembly to the...
