    A Shout Out And Thanks To Randy Gross For Brake Work

    I just picked up new drums mounted on my set of hubs. This was the last major brake component that I needed to arrange. Thanks Randy! As Neil Armstrong once said, "It's one small stop for man, and one giant leap for my kind". (or, it was something like that)

    Oil-Filled Condenser Mounting Orientation, Mallory 'Trashcan'

    I picked up this large NOS Mallory 'trashcan' type oil-filled condenser. By all indications, this will be the last condenser this Model A will ever have. I intend to connect it at the ignition coil, and mount it behind the firewall. Being oil-filled, I was wondering if there is a mounting...

    Stubborn Tight 2-Piece Valve Guide Won't Come Out

    I purchased a valve guide removal tool and it worked great, for the first seven guides. The eighth guide is a problem. Of course. To be fair, I've been deliberately easy-going with the hammer. The first guides came out fairly easy, but in this last one, the guides and the block have become...
