    H-F class action suit

    What happened to "caveat emptor"????? I think this guy is an idiot and does not want to accept responsibility for his own stupid mistake. ...or for that matter "common sense". (oop...forgot...it's not so common anymore) Common sense is that thing that makes you look up a couple of sources...

    yes. Powerhouse. Don't ever want to do it again. Not hard...just a time suck. ;-)

    Needle Scalers

    The price is mostly in quality. . . which translates to how long it will hold up under use. The HF scaler is a fine scaler for the occasional project. If you are using it "a lot" you will wear it out and have to replace it. If it takes 2 to do the entire project the cheap ones are just fine. I...

    Has anyone received the new Judging Standard?

    I never buy the judging standards but I do buy the RESTORATION GUIDELINES (and judging standards). My revision 4 arrived a few days ago and it has been memorized.

    Rear Lights - Temp

    my solution to potentially losing a light was twofold. 1 - the magnets are monsters - I've deliberately hit some big bumps to try to dislodge them but they have a death grip on the carrier and didn't budge. 2 - I ran the cross wire OVER the trunk mount. Even if both come loose they will just...

    Rear Lights - Temp

    I drive my A in all weather, all seasons....but was unwilling to drive at night because of the single drum taillight that has a running/parking light about as bright as a bic lighter. (it's a 28 - left side only) I added a 'third eye' inside the rear window that is great for daytime...

    Runs bad

    I've found that most carburetor problems........ are cured by fixing the ignition. Points/condenser, possibly coil.

    clear distributor cap

    I have over 30,000 miles on my clear cap and it keeps on going. It has a visible "line" that may be a crack but it runs outward from the center contact and since there is no stress it hasn't changed in all the time it has been used. I have a spare one in the trunk and it has the same 'line'. I...

    Leave engine/radiator empty?

    I find that moonshine gets me through the winter....and the car too.. ;-)

    Caught red handed

    but a CD or DVD in the microwave for 3-5 seconds destroys all data and makes a pretty light show. (and you can use the destroyed CD for crafts)

    1/2" too Much Water?

    Water pump may be more efficient at moving thicker glycol mix than water and the radiator can not keep up with flow at speed.

    Garage update

    I grew up on 2 post and love them but decided on a four post in my 36x48. 1-i can move the 4 post around, even with a vehicle on it, as projects change. 2-I didn't have to drill holes in my floor. 3- i can bolt motorcycle stands and tire changers to he surface when needed. Just something for...

    question about tires??

    X100 on that. In the past two years I have yet to have even 1 model A'er say anything complimentary about my car FIRST. It has always started out with something negative. I truly believe the mission statement of model A owners is "I can only feel good about my car if I go out of my way to...

    What are they worth??

    I've got the 26 page edition from 1974. It specifies the green shag carpet for the front and the yellow shag for the back. Running boards are astro turf covered. :D
