Re: Reds Headers
Just like everything, there's always a history, and the Chiriaco Summit history is interesting! There's also a decent collection of early Fords, and Red's Headers which are manufactured at the...

Re: Reds Headers
The info Pete supplied is outdated. They're located at Chiriaco Summit now, 30 miles east of Palm Springs. The phone number is the same.

Re: Door alignment problem on 29 CCPU
That's correct that jigs were used to speed up the assembly process while removing the trial and error that we go through as non-factory restorers. They were also used to quickly identify and...

Re: Tools/supplies needed while traveling
I don't think it's negative, just opinions. Just like the "what's your favorite oil", someone will always reply "non-detergent 30w, just like Henry required!". I don't carry carbs because I've...

Re: Tools/supplies needed while traveling
You leave the tillotson at home. It was warped before it went on the tour, so as mentioned you bandaid it and move along.
The needle and seat do wear when sitting under the seat for any amount...

Re: Tools/supplies needed while traveling
Carbs will experience more wear under the seat of a car than on the engine. I can drop and clean the carb quicker than you can removing, finding the spare and bolting the replacement on.

Re: Door alignment problem on 29 CCPU
I agree that hinge adjustments will likely get you closer to the solution, we cannot say for sure until it’s on the frame and adjusted. Shimming and bolting onto the frame account for a decent...

Re: Another carb needs repair
As is typically the case, we respond with missing info. I don’t use Tillotson carbs, so my comments apply to the factory issued Zenith carbs.

Re: Another carb needs repair
