I have a used crank with unknown history left over from trying to find an uncracked block last year. I haven't spent the money to get it magnafluxed and I wonder if it is worth enough to justify bringing to Hershey to ask a friend with a vendor space to sell it for me. As opposed to scrapping...

I am taking my left side fenders off ('31 Coupe) and intend to replace the nuts and bolts. The set of nine for the front seem to all have different combinations of flat and lock washers. None of my references say what is stock. I would guess flat washers on either side plus a lock washer. Any...

Is there an optimum angle for the windshield to get the maximum airflow in the cabin?

What steps are needed to remove a front fender? The light bar and the fender bracket are obvious to start, but what tips are there for the bolts to the frame and what else needs to be removed?

I cracked my water pump outlet and want to replace it. The motor is a fresh rebuild and hasn't been started. Can I just remove the nuts, leave the copper gasket, install the part, and torque it down? Or do I need to slacken all the head nuts and retorque all?

I am ready to install my rebuilt engine into the car and found this part in a box with other project parts. I can't remember what it is and hope it isn't critical. What is it?

What is the thread spec for double lock tappets? I am asking because if it is 5/16-24, one full turn of the adjuster would be. 041" and one flat would be .007". You can use that to know approximately how far to turn the adjuster. I have my engine on the stand and would not like to adjust the...

The replacement for my old cracked block is number AA40119** Is that a restamp or from an AA?

Per https://www.brattons.com/THRUST-WASHER-FOR-A-INSERT-MAIN-BEARINGS/productinfo/8946/ three are needed. I only see two in my engine. Two are at the rear main bearing, but that's it.

I have my engine out and am trying to get the oil pan off. I have all bolts out, but an old wood chisel isn't working and hammering on an oak board on the pan edge the same. My next step is to use my engine stand to make it more stable and pound on it harder. I maybe used Hylomar on the gasket...

My coupe has a spacer for the mounting stud that is about the thickness of the horn bracket on the other side andhas some shallow serrations. I don't see it in the Parts Price List. Is it stock? It seems like a good idea.

Do these 4.25" diameter glass lenses fit early V8s? Free to a good home, plus shipping.

Has anyone tried one of these? https://daytonaparts.com/universal-replacement-carburetor.html Might be good for experimenting with but a Zenith or Tilly seems so much easier for a stocker.

The hood louvers are different! Making the hinge loops on a custom hood seems like more work than finding good stock parts. Any ideas or has anyone seen this before? (I wasn't there to talk to the owner.)

Forging Bugatti front axles, appears to be from 1991 or so. I wondered how they made them hollow, but they drilled the forging before bending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TauDPvBwodM

In the new MAFCA magazine, there is a feature on an A with a rumble seat that has a convertible top and side curtains. It makes perfect sense, but must be pretty rare.

I saw this photo on another forum. What is that trumpet behind the carb? Some sort of fresh air inlet?

While helping a friend with his '40 Ford kingpins (same as an A), I discovered that the locking pins wouldn't even start in the hole in the axle. When I reamed the bushings on my A last winter, I had similar problems, but didn't test it first on the bare axle before inserting the kingpin. For...

I can’t find windshield glass on the Brattons, Snyder’s, or Bert’s websites. Am I searching wrong or is the glass not available?
