Re: Clutch chatter
The two surfaces, clutch disk and flywheel, are not mating properly. Before taking the clutch apart, I would at least try to "mill" the disk by riding, (smoking) the clutch for a few seconds. That...

Re: 36 sedan convertible top needed
A Carson Top on a 36 tub would be very cool. The inherent problems with such a top: weight, storage when not in use, installation and removal, etc. could be minimized with some ingenuity and...

Re: Leak on top of carb...

Before going to the work of removing the carb, I would disconnect the fuel line, remove the fuel/air mixture screw, open the lower drain and blow some...

Re: Evans Aluminum Heads
Pay it if you want the "Bling". If looking to increase performance, angle mill the stock heads (per 'Ol Ron).

Re: Bumper bender
Sad. Sitting there, next to a busy road for 40 years. Me thinks this is likely one of those, "NOT FOR SALE!!!! I'm a gonna' fix 'er up someday" cars.

Re: 1931 Model A not turning over
If you don't have the tools to test the battery yourself, just remove it, (take a photo of how it was installed first) and take it down to an auto parts store and have it tested there. They don't...

Re: Dust bowl AA
Wonder if they had to declare any fruit at the border when entering California? Maybe just "the grapes of wrath". No seat belts or child restraints, just grit and hope keeping them aboard. Good luck...

Re: Lacquer Paint fix?
Never used this stuff on a car but it will soften lacquer. When working with it, it seems to "melt" the finish and make it young again. It sure works great on pianos etc.

Re: Odd Frame Repair?
Good attitude! I would remove the U-bolts, grind the welds a bit to smooth it out, treat and paint to prevent rust and go with it. The engine completely hides that area anyway.

Re: 33/34 inner door handles
there were some listed here, in the swap meet section, just a day or two ago. Seemed very expensive but they were nice original.

Re: High RPM problem, thoughts?
Go to the "search" option at the top of this page and type in, dual carb setup. Lots of good info. Especially relating to the linkage aspect of the system.
Good luck

Happy Mother's Day
Sure wish I could ring her up and talk for a while. She was the best.
Raised four kids and had a full time job. She would sneak food off of her plate on to ours when there wasn't quite enough.
Love...

Re: High RPM problem, thoughts?
Regardless, having a spare carb is a good idea. You made the right decision to get a new one. Now you can take your time to explore and find a fix for the bad one.
Good luck,
Phil

Re: starting problem???
Maybe you should just leave the electric pump on all the time. Your mechanical pump may be toast

The hype around the need to "Bulletin proof" these Columbias is way over blown. This is not a cost-effective insurance plan. Reminds of the "Car Sheild" crap". Just get a good, used, (No Cracks!)...
