Re: freed up stuck engine

Thanks for the input. We will be able to add oil and turn it over once or twice a year. I had forgotten about the acetone evaporating. Chainsaw bar oil sounds like a good idea and from your avatar...

lincoln v-12 bank angle

I understand that the angle between the cylinder banks on a V-12 is 75 degrees. How do they get even firing of the cylinders with this arrangement? Do they have 2 plane crankshaft?

Re: outside oioer

My 26 model T has wheels that are light yellow in color. Was this any kind of original color for the wheels or did someone in the past paint them yellow? If this is an original color for the wheels,...

Re: Whitewalls

I think they look good with some color schemes as Ray64 points out. If you're not into judging, go with what looks good to you. My AA truck obviously has black walls, but I might put WW on one of...

speedometer change

The change from the oval speedometer to the round one occurred in 1930. Is there an estimated date or serial number when this change was cut in?
