Re: Tools/supplies needed while traveling
Well said Brent. My thought exactly. I send out reminders before the date of the tour so people have time to check their cars so we don't have any "Roadside Seminars". If people would maintain their...

Re: Sealed beams

Re: Adjusting timing
Gene, a little more info in the Balancer.

Re: help! clutch won‘t disengage…
Tom, I'm glad it was the lever as I suggested (post #16). They always crack thru the pin hole. That is a relatively easy fix compared to a pressure plate.
Bratton's has the longer arm that makes...

Re: Starter issues
I saw a tip isn the Restorer Magazine where a small piece of hose was inserted in the switch to act as a spring to separate the contacts.
