I found this map at the dump when I was a kid. It opens up to 16feet long. the front side follows US 99 from the Canadian border down to the Mexican border and the back side highlites the towns with pictures. just a few pictures here to give an idea of what it is.

When I first rebuilt my engine I found a crack in the block and had it welded, but when it was reasembled it still leaked. I asked for suggestions on the forum and was told to try JB weld. So the second time I rebuilt my engine from a bad babbett job :mad: I heatted up the area of the crack with...

I see the storage tray under the seat (thanks for the info). This roadster is a friends car and I am making a set of side curtains but now am having trouble understanding how the door is supposed to open with the side curtain attached.Let me explain, when the door opens it starts to pull really...

were are the side curtains stored in the car and are they rolled up or left flat ?

Drove down to Bill Barlow's on monday and he poured new babbitt in my engine, very nice guy, very informative, he explained everything he was doing as he worked, very interesting as I have never seen it done, I learned a lot. His wife is a very nice person also (sorry I cant remember her name)...

hear are some pictures of my bearings. the engine is going back on monday to the guy that poured the babbitt to let him see the damage and to give me an explanation of what could have happened. I cant see how my driving habbits could have done this, I drove 55mph tops for about a mile once to...

I'm looking for someone in the great northwest that can do babbitt work. I live in Ferndale Washington and would like to deliver the engine without having to ship it. Any ideas ?

a week ago my engine started knocking about 12 miles from home so I parked it and just got around to pulling the pan and the center main was the culprit. the engine has 4500 miles on a complete rebuild, the crank was turned 20 to 30 over. now I'm thinking of replacing the crank with a new...

A friend of mine was out for a ride yesterday and had a car run a stop sign and he "T" boned him in his Model "T". He is OK for now, but will see how he feels in a couple days. his "T" is bent pretty bad.

I had my flywheel and pressure plate resurfaced and the pressure plate fingers had to be adjusted a lot to get them to the right height (now I dont think the springs are putting enough pressure on the plate). Now that my engine is getting broke in, it is developing more power and is making the...

I started my rebuilt engine today. after about a minute it started to knock with a really bad rapping sound, at a really fast idle it would stop but backing it down to idle it would rattle again, I used my stethoscope and held it on the gear cover were the cam plunger sits and that is were the...

I'm about ready to start my new engine (tomorrow I hope). I added 5 qts of oil through the distributor hole in the head to make sure the valve chamber and dipper tray are full, but the dip stick level is about 3/8 inch below the full mark. should I bring it up to full or run it first and read it...

what is the best way to stop the cam from turning while tightening the cam nut ? cam is installed in the engine. I have a fiber gear and i'm afraid of breaking teeth (on the gear) if I hold it by stopping the crank from turning

when I stripped my engine down I noticed there was no cam spring and plunger. I am in the process of putting the engine back together and the spring and plunger I ordered will not fit, it appears there is a sleeve installed in the gear cover. should I try and remove the sleeve and install spring...

I'm rebuilding my Zenith 1, and was wondering what is the correct way to seat the brass passage plugs.
