    What model Battery Tender?

    What ever you want to use, a good practice is to isolate the power unit. Don't leave it on a seat cushion or on top of the engine. A small steel pail like a paint can with some sand in it is a good place to put the unit while in use and out in the open away from fuel sources.These are...

    Tubular shock links not plumb

    I installed some rebuilt tubular shock links on the front of my sedan, original shock arms and link tubes. These do not stand plumb, used new rubber and grease covers.

    31 A stops after short start up

    One more thing, I replied in the comments I thought look for electrical (it could be loose connection at terminal block, condenser, bad ignition wire etc , etc.) but the reason I said that was you claimed it would run 4- 10 seconds and die.My response was if the bowl is full of fuel tt would...

    31 A stops after short start up

    i think you should look for an electrical problem, if the bowl of the carb was full it would run longer than you say.

    Gas Tank Flame Arrestor/Filler Screen

    Both of mine fit snug, when you pull one out it has some resistance. I thing the outside diameter is bigger than the hole and it gets compressed going in and out but when finally in place it is somewhat looser because only the very top 1/4" or so is under compression. I have a box of originals...

    Distributer-points are at 12:00

    You have pretty much answered the question. One of you has the original set up condenser within the distributor body and the other person has a modern plate. Both of adjusted properly will let the car run just fine.

    Not Model A but steam whistle question

    I came into a couple of small steam whistles and don't have steam power. Although steam is more dense than compressed air would anyone have an idea as to what compressed air psi might approximate what a typical steam system that has a whistle with it. I'd like to test the whistles and find out...

    Distributor Bushings

    All previous methods can work, you may also take a small torch and heat the brass bushings on the inside by letting the flame lick all around the interior. You will get smoke and stink in the air- Let it cool all the way down to room temp, then heat it one more time , let it cool. This will help...
