When on a trip today with our club. Car ran great, but towards the end of the day when I would be in first or second gear and try to accelerate it would act like I lost power and sputter and backfire some. Once I got into third I was ok. I opened up the GAV some and it seemed to resolve it...

So I have new whitewalls from Snyders and I unwrapped them today and put the first tire on and the whitewalls have like a blue film all over them. All 4 tires have that. Any special way to clean that? Brush and soap and water or do I need bleach white or anything like that? I want to get...

It's been a long time since I've replaced a fan blade. I am putting a new radiator in my '29 Coupe and getting the old metal fan blade off and a new aluminum one put on. What is the trick to getting the blade off again? I've tried to tap it gently from behind with a hammer but no go.

Great running car! Brand new radiator! Brand new tires! Seats are covered but it will need an interior kit. Clear Ohio title! Includes CB, extra speaker, and antenna. Don't want to get rid of it, but we have this one and the Coupe, and the Coupe wins out since it was my grandpa's :-) PM me...

I attached some pictures of the passenger emergency brake. Can you guys look at it and verify I have it all on there correctly? With it on, when I put the hub on it does not want to spin. With the emergency brake band off the hub spins. The emergency brake has brand new lining, would that...

Does anyone have an actual model # or Timken number for a rear wheel bearing?

I replaced the throw out bearing on my 28 Leatherback, and when I pulled the shifting tower off at the start of the job the car was in neutral. Nothing moved and the gears in the transmission box were not moved or touched. Tried to put the tower back in today, and I cannot get the forks to go...

I am going to be replacing the throw out bearing on my 28 Leatherback. I am also going to get the new hub it goes on. Is there a trick or simple way to get the bearing on the hub, or would I need to take it somewhere to get it done? Thanks!

I'm going to be replacing my crank pulley and key, and was wondering is there a special tool needed to get the ratchet nut off the front of the pulley? All I have really seen is it normally takes a 1-3/8" socket. Any special tricks to getting it off? Thanks, Neal

Is there a way to test a starter switch once it is off the top of the starter to make sure it is still good?

I recently replaced my radiator with a new one, and I put it on and got it mounted, and got my chrome shell put back on. When I put my hood back on it doesn't seem to sit right now. I have a quail cap on and I had to take it off because the hood wouldn't open all the way because it was hitting...

Just wanted to get your guys opinion. When I bought my 1928 Leatherback, it came with a new chrome headlight bar installed. I know they are supposed to be black. What would you guys do? Leave it chrome or paint it black? Thanks!

What does everyone think about Snyder's heavy duty radiator? http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/1804 Does it fit up pretty good? I have a 1928. Thanks, Neal

I'm trying to remove the yoke or front engine support off the Leatherback. Seems whoever had the car before me stuck some extra washers between it and the frame, and the crank holes don't line up properly if I would ever need to crank the engine, and the hood doesn't sit right. It doesn't...

Hey guys just have a quick question. I put a new original head on my 28 Leatherback because the one I had on there had a crack. While I had it apart I took off the 4 blade fan that was on it and replaced it with an original 2 blade fan. Now as I'm putting it all back together the fan hits the...

Do you torque the water pump on and if so do you do 50 or 55 lbs? Thanks.

I have a broken bolt on my coil bracket that goes on the firewall. Can that be drilled out? Do I need to worry about how far in I drill for fear of hitting the gas tank? Thanks, Neal

I purchased an original head from a friend to put on my car. I noticed the head, on the top, has a small Ford script stamped in it. I've never seen that before. Any ideas on this? Was it normal? Is this a rare head or anything? Thanks!

I need to take the head off on my Leatherback. I have everything taken apart, so is there a trick to getting the head lose to start to lift it off? I didn't want to get too rough with it, or hurt the engine block or anything. Thanks.
