Curious as to what all think are the best lift points on a 36 model 68 with a modern two point lift.

1936, still 6 volt, new fuel tank and sending unit. Continuity exists between tank and gauge. will grounding sending unit to metal floor of car be enough ( which I did) however unit still not reading. Should i move it to a heavier gauge ground source?

I've read all the posts on the ferrule and about not overtightening. New nut and ferrule , all good with only 5 gallons in it. then with 10 gallons , leaks around the line itself from the fitting. appears the onion is not set. have tightened slowly tested, leak, repeated. still showing threads...

This on a 1936 model 68. Aside from all the pro's cons of the brake board approach, I did use one adusted all as described, however when i removed the board after the "third" step adjustment, the rears were still locked. I am assuming the problem is the rod length and I should "shorten" the...

the old vacuum tube that screws into the intake manifold is not really tight, not sure how a good vacuum is drawn. Purchased a new one and like the old one the tube end on the screw side is straight as well? Wouldn't these be flared so the screw fitting would "pull" it in tight to manifold? Was...

I've got car on jacks from frame, trying to remove suspension links. Do I need to put weight on the spring to hammer out the links to reduce the pressure from "hanging" with car jacked up. Or should I just jack car from axle?
