    Killer virus

    Well here I am, I'm back. All I did was search for shock info and I wound up at the H.A.M.B. Jalopy Journal. Got an alert about suspicious code and ignored it, twice. Got a Java script warning and by then it was too late. I got the Win32:Sirefef virus. It immediately shut down access to my...

    Torque tube gasket design

    I'm about ready to connect the torque tube to the banjo. Looking at the gasket it has the required six bolt holes and a notch in it. What is the notch for? How should it be oriented? Any clues will be gratefully accepted.

    Thanks for the Forditude boost

    I knew I had to to do it. I had never done it before. But now I have and I owe many thanks to a couple of esteemed members on here. I had to work up my courage and gain some insight into what lay ahead and that is when Tom Endy came to my rescue with help from Marco Tahtaras. I found and read...

    Praise where praise is due

    Here I am, just put the radiator in the shop Friday and needed a fill neck replacement. Locally just cost too much so I went online to shop around. Snyders was the cheapest so I ordered it along with a head stud kit and settled in to wait. The shop said next week, and my previous Snyders order...

    A shocking question.

    I did my due diligence and performed a search regarding shock fluid. Quite confusing results. Everything from the original glycerine to 85/140 diff oil, hydraulic oil, M-564 ???, Brattons #24920 mystery stuff, Mobil 10/50, etc. What is the definitive answer if there is one.

    Hand cranking misadventures

    Ok, this thead is to allow those of us who need to confess to being stupid a venue to do so. In 1956 I was a young lad of slight build so slight that I could barely crank start my 1931 Ford. Furthermore, the car constantly suffered from a low battery. The first time I learned about not...

    Old cars with old tires

    "tires older than six years get increasingly more dangerous regardless of how long they have been on the road." I remember the quote above from a 20/20 program a while back. I have been rim straightening, painting and installing new Lucas tires on my 30A. Just today I checked the Allstate tire...

    Tracking a swap meet add

    A couple of days ago I posted an add in the Swap Meet section that was not mine, but I felt other Barnie's would be interested in. My Question is, how do I know if and when to remove or indicate "sold" if it is.

    Wow this is an engine.

    I live at the top of a three mile grade which meant 35mph. I just fired an H&H motor that I modified further. I stayed with the 5.5 Snyder head, replaced the "touring" cam with a HP350 cam from Bill Stipe, a Dan4Banger 27 lb flywheel, 2-94's on a "Riley" manifold and a set of Headers, both from...

    Mystery Head

    I recently removed the head from an H&H "Touring" engine and immediately noticed that it was not a modified stock A head. I thought it looked like a Brumfield but couldn't find any indication of a B-F having ever been on it. Does anyone have an idea what kind it could be. The chambers are...
