I am installing a 12V gear reduction starter from Snyder's. Not quite sure how to wire it up. Can someone take a look at the attached image and tell me if I have it right? Also, does anyone know if this type of starter should have a fuse, and if so, how to wire it into the system? Thanks

Seeking a set of 4-21" wheels in good condition.

Can someone tell me how to identify a stock vs reproduction 21" spoke wheel? The welds on mine have sharp/pointy irregular shapes to them (ouch!). Is that normal? Thanks

My brake actuating arms have more play in their joints with the king pin, maybe 1/16" to 1/8" wiggle, than I would have have expected. But I don't know what is normal. On the passenger side, the brake actuating arm connection to the brake rod is quite sloppy, but seems to work ok. The king...

Would anyone like to share if or how they are securing their roadster top when it is down, to prevent flutter/rattling? Thanks...

I would like to purchase a rebuilt, in good working condition, Marvel Shebler/Sears/Allstate 2405 Carb. Thank you. Doug

Does anybody know if a 30-31 brake light switch can be made to work on a 29?

Would a 12V 12Ah battery be sufficient to bench test a 12V ahooga horn?

I just finished installing a new rebuilt engine and a negative ground cut off switch. The car drives fine. When I reattached the light/horn wires to the alternator and closed the cut off switch, the horn started to toot and would not stop until I opened the cut off switch. Does anyone have an...

I have a cut off switch in the positive wire between the battery and starter switch (12v neg ground). My starter stuck and did not respond to pulling the fuse or turning the shut off switch to the off position. I had to pull the negative ground wire off the battery to stop the starter from...

You know you have raised your son right when he gives you a Model no parking sign and vintage snap-on socket driver, which he restored, for Christmas. :)

Just finishing an engine swap. Got to looking at the throttle bracket. The arm that holds the pedal rubs against the upright to its left when fully depressed. See pictures attached. At close inspection, it appears that the pedal arm might have been welded and/or bent in the past which might be...

Does anyone have a guess as the origin of the head shown in the attached picture? One stamping/label says "MADE N U.S.A" and the other one says "2-28-33". Thanks:

In watching the Diablo A's DVD on removing and installing an engine, it mentions that the throttle bracket that bolts to the back of the bell housing has "shims". Can anyone tell me more about those items? I can't find anything about them on the various parts stores websites. Thanks

I am taking parts of my existing engine in preparation for the delivery of a new long block. Babbitt bearings took a poop. In removing the manifolds, I noticed oil in the intake ports. What might that be indicative of? Picture attached.

I have ordered a replacement block and will be pulling my existing engine in preparation for delivery of the new unit. What is the best way to store the carburetor for a couple of months so it doesn't get fouled or rusty? Thanks

Hello folks, Trudy developed an engine noise that met Les Andrew's characteristics of a rod knock. I dropped the pan to adjust bearing clearances (my first time). The good news was that there was very little sludge and the oil pump was spotless. The bad news was that I found metal pieces in...

Looking for the tool that is used to retain the oil pump when removing the oil pan.

I am looking for some kind of gadget that would allow me to attach multiple wires to the negative pole of my 12v battery without just stacking them on the bolt that holds the ground wire to the terminal. Does anybody know of such a thing?
