I'm confused. I just saw Randall's previous video where he tested the passive oil filtration system. When the oil is cold, there is a fair amount of oil going through the filter, which looks fine to me, but when the oil is up to temperature, hardly any oil is going through the passive oil filter...

I'm looking for used 21 inch white walls. If any of you barners is going to buy new white walls, I would be happy to buy the old white walls from you. I accept any condition e.g. slightly cracked, no tread or just dirty. Try me ....

I guess, they call us "rednecks" down here in SW Florida :D

First I prepared a chisel but found it too heavy and unwieldy. Then I took a punch and ground a groove with the angle grinder and beveled the sides. With a little patience and a hundred hammer blows further, I found the result quite satisfactory.

Thank you Bob and McGarret. Sometimes it pays to take a little extra time to make it look right. My only intention was to preserve the original brass lever. The original shaft was badly bend and had to be replaced. I also insert bushings and it sure feels good to see that it's properly working...

I was about to solder it but wanted it to look like the original. I prepared a small chisel and the result was pretty close to the original.

Looks like I misssed it completely. Thanks Bob for the hint ...

Hello Barners. I'm in the process of rebuilding my original Zenith. What is the best procedure to attach a new throttle shaft to the original lever without damaging or bending the new shaft? Has someone done this before? Is hard soldering an alternative? Any advice might be helpful ... Many...

What does the cotter pin at the bottom hole actually do? I have it on my A engine as well and have seen it on other engines too. Couldn't find an answer in "Model A for dummies" ...

I wonder, if someone ever cut an oil filter open to see if the oil pressure is enough to use the whole filter or if the filter is only used at the lower portion because of the lack of proper oil pressure ... ndnchf: Your filter looks kinda cute, while the original that comes with the kit look...

Btt

Carb./Brake cleaner is very aggressive and can damage the paint. I use regular paint thinner (not lacquer thinner) and a paint brush. It's way less aggressive and does the job. Old cars need some time. I only use a pressure washer or aggressive cleaning agents for extremely stubborn dirt.

I'm curious as well. Why would one poke holes into the membrane of the oil filter?

@ Rob Doe. Thanks for the advice. I checked the Air adjustment screw by marking the tip with a black marker and it seems that it's the correct size and fit. I will check the throttle plate and will replace it anyway when I insert the bushings. Thanks for the explanation of the set up of your...

Just don't trust people who leave phone numbers or email addresses to contact. I would at least make sure that he is a legit member of the barn ...

Just engine replaced or replaced with and rebuilt engine? I would be curious and would at least drop the pan. That gives you some peace of mind. Also, you may see if the engine is rebuilt and if the engine still has babbits or inserts already ...

Mine came with a MotorCraft FL-1 Filter as well. If you do find another filter that fits, make sure it also has a membran inside that hold the oil in the filter since the filter is installed in a horizontal position. It may not be that important but the manufaturer did that for a reason and I...

Actually that's a good advice. I would recommend the same. Any toe in is better then no toe in. Since 1.5 mm is next to zero, I would try 3 mm just to see if there is any differnce. It will never drive like a modern car but with a some fine tuning you will get a result you can and have to life...

Well, I took the carb apart the first time just to get the engine running and I didn't gave it too much attention. But now the second time I noticed these weird problem. I was hoping that someone had similar problems and has already figured it out. Since the carbs are not really complicated I...

Good tip. I have considered that and packed it with grease since the bushing are not available at the moment. Anyway, it didn't make any difference. I will order a few parts and try the "trial and error" method ...
