Are you sure that is your shadow? It really looks as if the snow is reflecting the light behind you(or were you carrying a flashlight?), and it is forming a shadow of the front tire, fender, and headlight shell.

As far as I know, the "R"in the plug number indicates a resistor element built in to the plug. These are for modern cars, and the resistor helps to suppress the noisy emissions that woudl otherwise mess up your electronics-and your radio reception.

My Dad died of a brain tumor, after a 10-month fight and numerous surgeries, about 12 years ago. Cancer sucks. I know that medical knowledge and techniques have been advancing. Here's hoping for the best for Jim!

Any chance of starving the engine for oil at those low RPMs?

Also, be aware that many of the better drill presses have a female Morse Taper in the spindle, and the chuck has a matching male Morse Taper shank-it is held in place by friction only. This works well for axial drilling loads, as these tend to push the tapers together and make the connection...

Well, come on, it definitely has SOMETHING to do with ownership. I would bet that most members of a Model A club own a Model A.

Kohnke Rebabbiting, why are you always so abrasive?

What kind of sealant did he use? I would be worried about it dissolving in the "gasoline" we buy these days.

Tools, especially machinist's tools.

'''long as you don't imbibe from both at the same moment....:D

Has anyone here personally, ever, cracked a carburetor by pouring water on it?

Is it just me? I think refusing to name the guy who did this shoddy work is just ......wrong.

Re: Can a sticky cutout be repaired? ...and yes, if it is an original cutout, it was made to be adjusted and rebuilt if necessary. If you can;t get it working, I could do it for you.

Re: Can a sticky cutout be repaired? Good link, with a pretty good explanation of how the cutout works. I would add to it the following: -The fine-wire(inside) winding is just enough to get the points to close when the generator voltage rises above 6.2V or so. -Once the points close, then...

Re: Can a sticky cutout be repaired? Usually, what I have seen described as "sticking" is not a mechanical phenomenon(such as the contacts themselves actually getting welded together), but is electrical in nature. You can test this by disconnecting the battery while the relay is "stuck". If...

The amount of current that gets back through a diode is very tiny, not anything you would ever notice.

When you get 6V on one side of the bulb, what do your read on the OTHER side of the same bulb? Also, I doubt it is "6V". It is probably 6 point something.

Put the stock bulbs in, and measure the voltage from ground to each side of the bulb. Then do the same with the halogens. This will show you where the voltage drop is occurring.

The notches need to be on the outside of the washers, and deep enough so that the wires can go thru the "bottom" washer notch, through the inside of the spring, out through the "top" washer notch, and then back to itself around the outside of the spring, to be twisted together
