    Fair Value for a '28 HighBoy Roadsster

    Thank you all. I agree. A car is worth more running & driving than sitting still without an engine, In this case, the stock car engine owner bought the i engine from Falc0nii Bros. in the 70's when they retired ii from com0petiion, replacing it with an overhead. The engine sat in his garage...

    brake lines

    Good advice, plus use brake cylinder lubricant, to lube the end of the tubing as it is being flared. If someone doesn't post a photo of it or the name, I will tomorrow.

    Rear brake hose 91A -2078

    Thank you Mike. You are right, I have seen those listings, like the Monroe shock. The local parts store has been here for years, and just jumped on to the NAPA bandwagon when the 2 owners bailed out. We still have several long time employees, one of whom ran the machine shop, until they...

    Best genuine ford cross steer for model A?

    A lot of sage advice here. I would place a wanted ad for an F1 box. There are still some out there. Having built a '29 high boy roadster on '32 rails with F1 steering there is probably no easier way that also looks right and steers great.

    Fuel routing. This can't be correct!

    Using the Purolater Facet electric fuel pump eliminates the need for a regulator as it is solid state and is self regulating to the design pressure you purchase. Also, Teflon tape on fuel line fittings is not recommended as small pieces of Teflon tape can get into the fuel system.

    I made my own attachment for the the engine stand out of 1/4" flatplate with the 7/16" & 3/8" clearance holes that line up with the exhaust manifold bolt holes in the block. I used to just bolt it up to the bellhousing, but felt I could run out of luck at some point. Pretty simple project for a...

    Good idea, but No-Rosion that you use in your radiator to prevent galvanic corrosion recommends ROM water, reverse 0smosis, 1 buck a gallon at most stores. hey say that the distillation process leaves containments.

    Deleting selected PMS

    That's fine for the current ones, but I have bunch to delete, like 300 or 400, so I need to open them and pick & choose the ones by checking them off to delete.
