Remember the difference between freeze protection vs burst protection. Everyone here is using freeze protection numbers, but to protect the block from cracking what you want to pay attention to is burst protection. Freeze protection: The temperature at which crystals start to form. This...

This. Why pay more for water? The floating balls method doesn't 'rise' to much accuracy, the number of balls floating just gives a step indication. There is no in between measurement. Also, let it stabilize for a few minutes, any micro bubbles clinging to a ball will give inaccurate...

I've been to a lot of auctions as well. A number of the auctioneers will guarantee a minimum price to the seller in order to get the consignment. The shills then bid it up until the minimum is met. This is essentially the same thing as a "reserve" price on Ebay. The shills are very good at...

I've owned aircraft in the past, and may again in the future, but they will be Faster than 150 kts, IFR equipped I won't get wet if it rains, Doesn't have a belt drive magneto, and doesn't require goggles. So probably not.

"Marine" can mean a legitimate deep cycle design. This won't do as well for a starting battery. It can also mean a hybrid that is for small sailboats, outboards, etc, that are expected to start engines and run lights and accessories when the engine is off for brief periods. And then it might...

Adapted from flying: One of two things will happen. One day you will walk up to your Model A not knowing it will be your last time. One day you will walk up to your Model A knowing it will be your last time.

I don't follow this. Power and starter speed is not dependent on voltage, it's a function of design, the windings, and enough current at the battery to run it. Of course you could build a 6V starter to be more powerful. The reason we build 12 volt systems, (and most modern aircraft at 24V...

If so, I'd be happy to tool around in a 30's Packard roadster. Red please, with a camel top.

I'm not sure what you're asking - Are you asking about the thumbnail display that is a default in this board's software? usually when you click on the thumbnail, you get a larger version, but again not the full size of the file. Or are you asking about non thumbnail displayed image size...

What time period ae you experiencing this with? I notice if I take time thinking about a post, or get interrupted and come back to it, when I go to submit the post I was logged out. However, if you log in using that form presented it accepts the post. (Other forums I use don't do this, if you...

I agree 3/4 inch is more than adjustment. Are you sure the movement is in the shaft and not the wheel? Maybe the wheel is loose on the shaft. Hate to have you pull the whole shebang if it's something else. Pull out the light switch/horn button and have a look. Or, with a helper, pull the...

What problem with engine access? I have a '30 Tudor with Driver's sidemount, and have both removed the starter and the steering gear with no issues.

Yes, many people focus on just the spraying and cost, long term maintenance, durability, color retention and repair blending ability should factor into any paint decision.

For the restoration, I sent out the instrument panel and light hood for chrome plating. When I re-assembled it, it seemed to work fine enough dry fit. It got cranky, and then stuck. With a little lube it's working better than it ever did. So probably my fault more than the car's. Generally...

Update. After letting it sit long enough that the gremlins got bored and left, with some pull/twist and canting suddenly it popped right out. Here's a few photos of the innards. I didn't take photos of everything, there is also a spring that pre-loads the socket, and the socket easily comes...

OK. Not real old, but old for me... It was about 1983, and we had taken a 1960 CE 210 in trade. Not by me. For reasons I can't remember, I flew it once. Avionics repair, ferry flight, I don't remember. Garish maroon velvet interior, old paint, radios leftover from the Hindenburg. Pre...

From what I've read the owner of the charter company knowingly gave the flight to the non instrument pilot since he'd rather go home to bed. That's one of the root causes of the accident.

Exactly what I did - calibrate my arm on a known value, and apply it to the distributor nut. Glad to know there's others out there.
