    Bad Points

    I replaced my points along with rotor, distributor, coil wire and plugs on my 29 CPU last weekend. I also re-set the timing for the first time. I was anxious to see any improvement in the performance of the engine. But, not so much to my own surprise, it wouldn't start. No fire to any plug...

    Squealing brakes

    I have a loud squeal from the front brakes on my CCPU. I am assuming its brake dust and have been removing the front drums and cleaning them about every 200 miles. Is this normal or is there an easier way to prevent this loud squeal when braking?

    Front motor mounts

    What is the best way to install new springs and rubber gasket is the front motor mount of a 29 pickup? I have read you can either jack the motor up enough to clear the bottom bolt from the cross member or block the motor and remove the motor mount bolts from the top.
