Re: 1933 V8: Troubleshooting...suggestions welcome

Kurt v asked a good question. Have you changed the flex line to the fuel pump? If it's an old line it may have cracks in it or the line inside may be coming loose.

Re: cleaning intake

What have used to clean some small stuff is the cheap starting fluid from Walmart. It really cleans oil spots from the driveway. You might also try some Dawn soap and water.

Re: 80 years ago today

In our day we learned real history as many of our teachers were war vets. In todays world they're more worried about whether they are a man or woman.

Re: Hot Start 1950 Merc

I would look at rebuilding the existing starter. Sounds like you cleaned it up, but did not rebuild it. Rebuild it and add the Optima and you should be good to go.

Re: Third brake light suggestions for 6 volt '40 Ford Tudo

Re: Third brake light suggestions for 6 volt '40 Ford Tudo

Drake formerly made a reflector kit for the '40 tail lamps. Not sure if he still makes it. It's worth a call to see if he has any in stock.

Re: Third brake light suggestions for 6 volt '40 Ford Tudo
