Have a Holley 94 on to of a V-8. The thing seems to be loading up a bit at idle. A slight black coming out tailpipes. If it is hot outside the thing slows down so much at idle after you sit at a traffic light that it will eventually die. Carb was regasketed recently, and ran great. I...

B Carb Questions: 1) Which is the better float, rectangular, vs round? Why? I have both, but am wondering if the rectangular unit is more suceptable to contacting the float well housing. Maybe I am overthinking it. 2) I have the press in GAV seat. I have a new one, but how do I get that...

Spot Lamp The KD Lamp Co. Cincinnati, OH Voltage 6 - 8 Combination bracket for closed or open cars. What you see is what you get. The face of the light is about 5 inches. There is an on/off switch on the back of the housing, and a little grab handle so you can aim it. The screw focuses...

I have a new piece of weather stripping for the roof side, front flapper seal. It does not look like the seal that I am taking off. However, that may not be a bad thing (we have all seen people use the wrong parts). I checked the instructions on two of the big name parts houses, and they...

Y-block distributor system. It works, but needs cleaned and lubricated, gone through. I put a tri-power on my car and decided to change the ignition system over to electronic. I realize this is a system for the purist. Just below the cap, it reads: FEH-12127-A2 This is not the thunderbird...

My 1957 Skyliner had developed an intermittent issue with the timing advance. I noticed if I played around with the throttle at highway speeds the temperature gauge readings were different. Although I figured out how to deal with this on the highway, it bothered me when sitting in traffic. I...

I have been going nuts trying to figure out a sound in my A; 1st gear ~14MPH, 2nd gear ~24 MPH, and in high gear at various speeds. The usual chasing ones tail. Then I was playing around with the timing lever, and it seemed to impact the sound somewhat. I thought why not check the simple...

That kit that swaps a generator over to a alternator setup - is that pretty simple? 57 Y-block car. I hear it effectively becomes a one wire alternator setup, which is very popular on hotrods these days. Use the same wire? I mean how do ya route, and hide the wire so it looks neat and...

Any one know what this stamp on a crankshaft I had to remove from my Model-A means (for sure)? Looks like a B stamped on it.

When you guys paint a panel on a car, where do you get that cheap thin plastic to wrap the rest of the car and then pull it off and toss it? Seems like I saw that some place, like a hardware store, but I can not remember where.

Have some parts I was thinking about getting rid of. Have any of you guys tried using the for sale section on this site? Had any luck? I kinda hate the thought of draggin' parts with me to a cruise-in, or regional car show. Mostly Model-A stuff, but some GM A-body, and Y-block era stuff too.

The gas formulas these days seem to break down easier. I'd say the last 3 years or so especially. I have a B carb on my A. That little plug in the bottom of the bowl - has anyone ever taken that out and put a little ball valve in there? I was thinking about something similar to the...

Am I the only one that likes to keep up with the daily posts of The Great race? https://www.facebook.com/greatracerally/videos/337764624665014

Anyone produce a modest running stand for Model-As? I kinda hate to chop up a good frame... I have a welder, but I am far from being able to weld (if you know what I mean)

Hey guys, about how much per year do you get to drive your collector cars?

My 57 Skyliner has a battery that will soon hit it's 5 year birthday. I thought I'd like to get a glass matt battery. Turns out getting one to fit is a bit of a challenge. Anyone ever done this conversion? What battery did you buy? Currently I have the Interstate 29NF-VHD (Group 29 NF)...

Does anyone know the part number of the trans dipstick tube O-ring? Of for real o-ring specs? Mine is dripping. I don't think I need to drop the trans pan to change that do I? Anyone ever done this repair? It was tough to find (pin-point), and the thig drips more than you would think...

About 7 years ago (could be more, could be less) Hemmings had an article about plans that you could send away for to build a Model-A powered aircraft. Does anyone know the Volume, and Edition (i.e., year and month) of this article? The A engine mounts in there backwards, and the prop attaches...

I found some good B- Carb info on here, but still have some questions. The carb is soaking in Berrymen Chem Dip right now. * if I have the float (original rectangular float) paralell with the upper section, is the float too high, too low, or just about right? * I have a tube with the wire...
