Oil looked good, and I did not see any white smoke out the tail pipe.

Took my car on a short drive the other day, about 5 miles round trip, with a 20 minute stop halfway. It overheated, it has never overheated. It runs fine, runs as normal actually, I look under the hood and see this: Is this a sign I blew the head gasket?

I use new, used motor oil tends to have a lot of contaminants that I think would do more harm than good.

My switch body from Snyder's worked fine... :shrug: I didn't look exactly like the original though from what I recall.

Gives it a funnel top for loading?

This one also has the leads that you can leave mounted on your battery. Mine dangles just above the running board level. I just lay on my creeper and plug it in.

To me if you are only changing service parts that would need to be changed or repaired when it was put away it is still a survivor. I drug my car out and re-assembled it, it has no value unless you can drive it amd preserve whats left and likely would continue to rot if you drug it out and let...

One that handles 6V can be had at most auto parts for under $30... I got mine at our local Meijer Store (like a Wal-Mart only Michigan based). I can't imagine trying to convert a HF one to 6v and then have to worry about a fire, or frying a battery that costs more than the charger.

My mechanical brakes stop well, but they have the bonded pads. I can lock up all 4 wheels but it takes effort. I recently drove a friends Model A with the proper pads on the front only - his brake rod to the rear brakes was completely removed. That car stopped like a modern car dang near. I...

WOW :eek: Wish I could find that deal, I wouldn't mind a Tudor so my son AND wife could come along :D

Have someone ride with you and see if they can capture it on video. Have you looked at your motor mounts, are the rubbers rock hard? You will get more vibes that way, and the A (at least mine) seems to have 2 vibration phases it passes through as I speed up. The vibration seems worse in...

I have had 0 luck with Optima's since Johnson Controls took them over, I will not buy another. Too many friends have also had issues the last 10 years. Many of the new chargers have a specific mode for charging Optima's and other similar batteries as well. Those yellow start packs say right...

It changed Jan 1st, 2012. I did one in 2006 and it required police inspection, but other than that it was easy. In 2007 they eliminated the need for the police inspection. This made it really easy to get a title, but had the adverse effect of scrappers were getting titles too easily for cars...

When did you go through this? They did not do that for mine in 2012.

I bought mine at TSC, (Tractor Supply) I'm pretty sure it is an Exide. It is 2 years old now and still strong.

I insure it heavily. When gone I'll buy another.

The A pictured above and in the video even has a 'misfire' switch to make it sound more model A like at stoplights and such.... that's a sleeper.

Very Very good... The non-hot rod, hot rod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFSGSL3Nrmc

Supposedly the previous (original) owner of our car swapped on the 1930 wheels right away. I have since swapped to 16" wheels.

Mine had the body bolts removed and wiring was unhooked, and steering column clamp was removed. The fenders were also off, and I was able to raise it enough to move the splash apron and see the number.
