just a suggestion. because we all learn stuff from this site. how about if you ask for help on a problem and a bunch of folks are helping you, maybe let everyone know that you have fixed the issue or not and what the solution was. just a thought. now back to regular programming.

i have a 28 engine here. the engine is far from pristine. the car is not getting an engine rebuild in the foreseeable future. oil is working its way out the top of the tube and dripping on the ground. it has the early tube on it. i am going to put a later filler tube onto it (different baffles...

im just starting on another engine. the rear main has a hole from the center of the cap down into the oil drain gallery. (compare the two i have in the picture) is this an attempt to dump oil from the main to slow down a rear leak? is this a manufacturer hole or joe engine rebuilder. i can't...

lots of chatter about this. i use a 6volt motorcycle flashers and just reverse the polarity. they are cheap and seam to work just fine. if you are concerned that the case may ground which i have not encountered, then wrap it. the flashers have 2 terminals that are marked with a B and L. the B...

maybe i shouldnt have looked at the book and just did them the way i always have. AC and CW, the difference is in the check valve inside the stationary vane and all those are the correct way around. the red book says to position the vents to the top. but they were not at the to when they came...

my wide bodied open air huckster (AKA farm truck) needs some door hinges. i am curious what the huckster folks used for hinges. maybe gate type hinges? thanks OU

on a 1928 commercial truck, closed cab. Has any one got one with a hand wiper that you can put a picture up on here? i need to see where to drill the hole for it to come through. i had to install one of those new manufactured windshield frames and i have nothing to go by. thank you OU
