Hey guys I have a 63 1/2 Galaxie 500 with a 352 engine. Is 15 -40 weight oil ok to use in it? I think that is what is in it now I just got it so I want to be sure. thanks,Jim

I replaced my oil return tube about a year ago or less and it still leaks like crazy. Turns out that the one end of the tube was not brazed or soldered properly at the factory so I just got another one with washers and 2 rubber gaskets. Does it matter which washers I use Brass or Copper? I got...

A couple of weeks ago I started up my '30 Tudor and it ran perfectly fine for about 10 minutes then it just quit like it would if it was out of gas. No sputtering or anything. I checked the tank for gas and I have 4 inches in it. I have juice all the way to the ignition cable that screws in to...

Anyone know which is the best oil pan gasket material to use, cork or paper? I haven't dropped my pan yet and I am not one hundred percent sure I need new gaskets but I have a lot of oil leaking between the oil return pipe and the top of the oil pan. I think it's coming from either the oil pipe...

I just got a new leak less water pump today. I got the old one off and transferred the fan blade to the new pump with the key installed but it only freely turns for a 3/4 of a turn by hand then it binds up. I inspected the inner pulley and it is scratched. It is hitting the housing and I noticed...

I have an antifreeze leak around the water pump. I still can not pin point exactly where it's coming from. I have a choice of three places it can be so I thought I would start at the top and work down. I want to start with the 8 in. hose first since it feels moist to the touch right under the...

I was just wondering why I can not click on anyone's links with any success? I have been a member on the forum for a few years now and it always worked after I had several posts but since I got my current PC a couple years a go I have had no luck. It's like I'm starting all over from square one...

At last I got my gas leak fixed. Now all I have left to fix is the leak at my water pump. I have the new style with the false grease fitting and I am pretty sure mine has the stud and nut all in one so there should be more room to pull off the pump right? I have over an inch clearance between my...

I would like to do a compression test on my '30 Model A. I didn't buy the gauge yet but I also know i will need an adapter to thread in to the spark plug holes. Can anyone tell me what size and where can I find it? Jim

I just took the Zenith carb apart to replace the large paper gasket. Do I have to put some stuff on it like Permatex to seal it properly? Thanks

I have a 1930 Tudor sedan that I keep at my In-laws garage when I'm not using it. About a month ago I took it over there and parked it there with about a quarter tank of gas and today I went over to start it up to bring it back home and it ran for maybe 1 minute then quit. I looked at the fuel...

I have a 1930 Tudor and I noticed when I had the windshield opened out the rubber seal was hanging down in the middle. I tried to expand it out but it didn't want to move and I didn't want to force it. Is it supposed to be glued up in a track? I didn't feel or see any old glue on the rubber...

I have a 1930 Tudor. All this time I thought it had Stainless bumpers but I have a magnet that sticks to them. I thought the 28 and 29's were supposed to have chrome ones and the 30 and 31's stainless. I guess it only really matters when you want to use the right polish on them. I also read...

Hey guys I don't know if my car needs a tune up yet but I've had the car 2 years now and I have been wanting to get me some spare points, rotor, condenser and maybe a coil. The main things that could leave me sit. I replaced the plugs last week and I saved the old ones for spares. I would like...

How comes when ever I click on a link nothing shows up except a white blank page?

I know this has been talked about many times here. I did a search here all the way back to 2010 - 2016 about the right plugs for the right heat range but has anything changed since then? I am currently running Motorcraft TT10's and I think I want to bump it up a tad in the heat range per the way...

My 1930 Model A Tudor has been sitting in the heated garage all winter. Since I got it out about a month ago I have started it right off the first try without touching the choke. What gives there? I'm not complaining but the first time it was by accident but the other time I went out to the car...

I got back from a nice easy ride in my 1930 Tudor sedan last week and the next day when I went out in the garage the smell of gas was over bearing. I looked underneath the car and there was a puddle of gas on the floor. Sure enough I noticed gas dripping from the carb. I tightened the bolt on...

Would like to know if I can find the washer size at my local hardware store or do I have to pay $.025 a piece + $13.00 shipping from Snyder's? I noticed oil dripping from the drain plug and the pan bolts are tight and it is dry up there around the pan so I assume it is the washer on the drain...

Hey guys, I have 1930 tudor sedan and I was wondering how or what is the best way to remove the rubber grommet next to the hood latch? The front one on the right is worn away a bit just enough that it is scratching the paint. I noticed the hood does not quite conform to the curve of the...
