Re: 56 TBird
Maybe one day I'll sell my ElCamino and get a baby bird, now that prices have moderated on them. Who knows.

Re: Rear Diff Plug HELP
Wire brush, and penetrating oil sprayed liberally on it 3 x day for at least a week first. If you own a Model-A now you need patience!
And I do not mean WD-40!

Re: TRB Overdrive?
Wow, look at that. When I hear stories like that I wonder what happened? I also wonder what happened to the design? If there were issues, etc....? I mean what if Terry Burtz simply gave up...

Re: Adjusting timing
How do you like that balancer, and belt? I have a pressurized center main, the whole nine-yards has been balanced all the way back to the pressure plate. Do you think it will make your engine live...

Re: rod nuts...why the odd size?
My A had a little less than 50,000 miles on it when it got it's engine rebuild. All indications were that it was it's first. I had to go buy a 4-point socket. I think I still have it in my toolbox.

Re: Power Loss After Carb Rebuild
Yes, and they bend easily just from use. My car is a 28 (March) and the thing is of somewhat a different design. I finally had got tired of taking mine off to straighten it each year, and put on...
