I bought this https://www.eastwood.com/powerbuilt-automotive-vacuum-pressure-testing-and-bleed-kit-648532.html On 1948 type brake system. With vacuum you can suck fluid from the master cylinder and out the brake cylinder. On pressure it will not go the other way. I thought you could do this.

Been a while and want to get it correct. On front brakes the large piston on the brake cylinder is supposed to aim forward. Also the shoe with full lining is also forward. Right?

I need new front shoes on my 32 highboy. I run 46 to 48 hydraulic brakes. These ones seam the most reasonable. Wonder what the quality is. I am sure from China...

As title says the pully came off the generator shaft. Radiator destroyed. Evidently the nut backed off. When the fan hit the radiator the pully cracked on the generator side. Well I have a replacement pully and recored the radiator. I think a locknut would be in order. Not sure weather to...

I think these are model A fans. I need to identify before I list them. They mount on a tapered shaft

I have a generator and fan assembly that I do not know what it is off off. I think it a good idea to identify it before I put it up for sale. The pully is 3 3/4 inch diameter. All the others I have are just over 4 1/4. Could it be off of a 60HP engine? Oh the fan is like most others I have

I have a 32 Highboy roadster. Runs really well and is fun to do running around town. When i get on the highway and get up to speed, 60 mph, I experience a lot of what I would call buffeting. Like I am in gusty winds. Many years ago I had a 29 roadster pickup with a B motor and Cook 4 port...

I have an F1 steering box in a 32. Stock frame. I cut the steering wheel end off and welded on an early end with the tapper and key. The slop in the steering is tolerable but I think I want an improvement. I have been looking at rebuild parts and I have only found the worm gear mounted on a...

Lets start with what I know about the engine: My dad bought it 50 or so years ago. 59AB, bored to 3 5/16, 4" crank, Offenhauser 375 heads and 2 97's. It sat for many years and I went through it. Cylinder walls rough so I went 30 over and put it in a 32 Hi Boy roadster. Unfortunately I did...
