GPS, CB radio, radar detector apps are available to download to your phone from the internet. Google to find them. If you use a battery maintainer in the garage, hard wire the + and - leads to your bat cables. Cut the cord between the maintainer and the + and - leads and install a disconnect...

An interesting site for 6v LED light bulbs recommended to replace Model A bulbs specifically by cross reference. https://www.ledlight.com/ No need for converters and addons. If you want music, use your phone. If you want GPS use your phone. Playing recorded music on your phone will eliminate...

Connect a cigarette lighter socket (female) direct to the battery as negative ground like a modern would be. This creates a separate circuit that is negative ground. The side of the socket (female) is negative ground. Use the cigarette lighter plug and wire that came with the phone or GPS to...

We're getting fooled and thrown off by the looks. Yes, it looks funny (different) but it does get attention which is probably the desired result. A large circumference equals smoother ride. Narrow tire means less rolling resistance. Long narrow contact patch equals the same traction is...

My car came with cast iron drums and all original parts were replaced. I added the longer rear levers to the front with the use of bushings of the correct inside and outside diameters from a chain hardware store which I cut the length to fit the width of the levers. Now all wheels had the same...

Ball valve. Added a star washer to mount the original valve handle on the stem of the ball valve so it doesn't slip. The original handle is not a perfect fit on the stem of the ball valve. A lock washer might have worked also. It can't slip more than a quarter turn anyway. Good for good and...

I can't remember his name, but there is a man on here who specializes in Holly 94 carbs among other things. He can match a replacement power valve to your car including any modifications you may have done to the engine. Somebody will come up with his name.

Your filter has two drains and no feed. You have one drain to the valve chamber and one drain to the timing gear. You have no pressure flow through the filter. What you mentioned as a flow adjustment screw is actually the pressure flow from the oil pump (oil feed) it should go to your filter.

GPS and cell phone chargers run on 5 volts no mater what battery voltage you have. That gadget you plug into the cigarette lighter only allows 5 volts through and you must use that gadget. You must wire the cigarette lighter socket as negative ground on a separate 6 volt circuit. That would be...

How to get the pulley off? Can it be done easily in the car?

I bought a 1/2 inch drive 1 3/8 inch socket. Used an extension and rachet to get to it from the crank hole in the grill. Much easier than a wrench. Because it sticks out between the grill and bumper it is hard to forget to remove it. Although I probably could.

I suspect ED in Maine above has the right idea. I read on this board a few years ago that the most efficient amount of stand off would be one inch of air flow between a heat shield and the item to be cooled (floor board). I think the man who wrote that was required to do an analysis for...

I have read on this board that brake caliper paint was a good choice. I haven't tried it though.

Never saw that before. 12x18.6x18.6 will fit on running board. A little pricey but it was built for gas and made of stainless...

I did something like #3 above and it was good. Flathead Ford v8 always had a bypass filter and it trapped a lot of sludge. I drilled and tapped the valve cover and took the oil from the side of the block. I ordered the adapter on line and made my own bracket different from above but really the...

Put the float in place on the wire as you did. Put the washer in place as you have done. Then find a way to position the end of the wire tip on a steel surface so you can use a screwdriver and hammer to make a slight oval shape out of the round wire tip that extends beyond the washer. Be careful...

the static position of the Brake Levers should be 15 degrees at rest when adjusted properly because that is the point of maximum force at the levers. Routine brake adjustments should be done by resetting the levers to 15 degrees in order to compensate for wear of the shoes and maintain maximum...

I have learned a lot from reading this string. I did change the coil wire to carbon core for better performance and less RF interference. You can get all of what you need to install signals at one site. Go to this site: https://www.ledlight.com/ Everything you need is there. I did it...

Go to this site https://www.ledlight.com/. Everything you need is there. Rather than use resisters and incandescent bulbs I did it all with LED components because they last longer and take much less power. I also used the signal stat 900 and a 6 volt pos ground LED flasher from this site. Also...

Your cell phone and GPS are 5 volts negative ground. All you need is a cigarette lighter accessory plug wired direct to your battery (12 or 6 volt). The accessory plug only allows 5 volts to pass through. Only wire it to your battery and not to the car wiring.
