I too can get a low 100* temp when out on a chilly morning without stats. I'm running 170* thermostats that are a lower temp than stock part to a 85-88 Pontiac Fiero with a 2.8 V6. You can also find them in a 160 and 190 is stock. They have a cage as part of the design and are the right...

I read it from the library, saw it in an AACA small article and requested it the same day. It was actually a good read. No spoilers but the story is hardly about Henry and more about the various driver's toil gleaned from first hand accounts from period newspapers and the letters they wrote...

I'd be interested in attending as a buyer. I do not have anything much I'd care to sell.

There is a special tool that threads onto the stud end and pulls it out. When you don't have that you use a very long 1/8" drill bit to eventually get rid of all the rubber, which takes all day to do. Old school you can burn out the rubber with a torch, but I would not do that on an assembled...

Thanks, I just went out in the garage and flipped mine over. They are so old they have rivets holding them in place but the rubber is still good and pliable.

Auto City Classic who now only sells through eBay will list up just a rear window if you ask them to. I got just two door glasses for a 50's GM car from them without having to order a whole kit. https://www.ebay.com/str/autocityclassic?_trksid=p4429486.m145687.l149267

Some '40 wheels have threaded pulling holes and some do not. I got mine without holes off using a traditional steering wheel puller (without the side bolts obviously) below a 2x4 as long as the wheel's spokes with a hole in the middle for the center bolt to come up through. I lashed the 2x4 to...

Yes, the "kids" like 4 doors. My children 17 and 20 have only known a world filled with 4 door vehicles (despite me having 6 two-door cars currently). Look on the road all you will see is 4 doors. There are so few 2 door new cars out there, basically a handful of import sports cars, exotics...

I believe I read that after a very short period of time Ford did not provide replacement aluminum heads only cast iron for the 40- heads. The story I was told was that even when fairly new the aluminum heads were a bear to get off as the steel studs corroded to the aluminum heads and many were...

I was given the "land, sea or air, pick one" at one time by my lovely bride. I already had cars and eventually got two vintage boats. I like the look of an old airplane but that type of toy is in a serous tax bracket I am nowhere near. At this point she would be "go for it" about a plane but...

You should see some of the cars I drive! Put gas in it and send it.

Harv check out Adamstown, PA for antiques. Its worth the 45 minute drive from Hershey. And if you are there on a Friday you can take in the Green Dragon Amish farmers market or the Ephrata Cloister for some history. Lots of very good pretzel bakeries in that part of PA as well.

As someone with a great dislike of the way my 3 speed shifts I feel your pain. To answer the original question 84-88 s10 transmission for mechanical speedometer and a Speedway Motors bellhousing. Check tag to determine gear ratios at they came with a bunch of different first and overdrive...

One can easily test this if unsure about any electric pump. Simply attempt to blow through it, if you cant it wont flow when off.

He just needs a bubble balancer and some tire irons to be authentic 20th C. You also get tuberculous, polio, wide spread racism, child and hard physical labor, dangerous working conditions, shorter life, no message boards, phones or tech for most of it and 50% of it was spent at war. Sounds...

Keep the hardener in a small refrigerator. The paint part does not go bad on a shelf but the hardener eventually does loose its effectiveness. Cold storage slows the degradation significantly and as a bonus then you will know where all your hardeners (including body filler, epoxy ect.) are at...

Water pump lubricant?

Were not at the bottom yet, long ways to go. I'm saving my loose change for a Full Classic. At this time 7000 boomers die each and every day in America. Even if just a small percentage have only a single old car its 10's of thousands showing up in the marketplace every year. Its already gone...

I tape a small funnel to the valve stem and use a vibrating tooth brush on the side of it and they just go down easily. I second zero moisture. I recently took apart two no tube radials that one had all the beads stuck to the whole inside of the tire. They had lots of miles before I added the...
