Has anyone ever installed a aircraft style hand primer instead of a free flow electric pump for the purpose of priming when the lines are dry?

Flat side to the lid with th v out. Tape it on first and then work your way around with the glue.

I put mine in to my 51 assembled with the rad, hood latch panel and hood removed. I used my cherry picker and an extra set of hands from my Dad.

Ok guys. It turns out it was the gauge. I ordered two SW mechanical temp gauges and it turns out they have a huge pipe thread that is larger than the holes in the heads. Is there an adapter or can I braze a bung in to each water neck. If so, will this give me an accurate temp.

I was just reminiscing about the small pinhole leak that I had in my rad last year. I added some bars leak type crap that stopped the leak. Maybe it has turned my rad in to a low flow model?

I am having trouble with my 51 vert top. When I first installed the entire assembly (previous owner removed it assembled) it went up and down smoothly by hand. After I installed the weather stripping along the rails it is jammed and won't go down. When I installed the most forward section of...

Does anyone sell new or remanufactured auto starters?

Thanks.

What would be a fair price for a rebuild of my existing starter?

I am looking to order a new starter for my 51 automatic V8 convertible. What is the difference between the automatic and standard starters. Is it just the drive portion? Can this be swapped from my old starter? Thanks, Eric.
