Re: Has anyone been through correcting their title?

Re: Timing light shows 30 deg off? Speedway Electronic Distributor

I have used a borescope camera to check TDC and looking for stuck valves. They are available on Amazon for around $24.00, and are a great tool. They just plug into your phone.

Re: ear end vent for 40

On my 39 with a Mitchell, I vented it on the top of the axle housing about midway, using a threaded barb with a hose and small filter.

Re: When to let your Model A go

I just had my left knee replaced and now have no problem using the clutch. Now hope to get my right knee replaced so I can use the brakes.

Re: 1951 ignition switch retainer/locknut?

Some of the new repop ones had problems with it not holding due to the tabs being too short. I added some JB weld to the tabs for the fix.

Re: '40 tail light bulbs OEM 6V to LED Conversion

Do a search on amazon. Just make sure of the correct Bayonet base, whether it is single or dual contact and of the locking tabs are offset or parallel. Also make sure they are non polarity.

Re: Two dead cylinders on a 59ab

[QUOTE=rockfla;2415796]

Same rotor but different cap, condenser and distributor. I’m hoping that the problem will show up when tested on a Sun machine.

Re: 49 Texas License plate

I have done several using a roller from Hobby Lobby. I then clean the edges with turpentine on a Q tip. Then clear coat. This is the method used by the late Gerald Thiele.

Mart the compression is around 110 on each cylinder and using a bore scope camera, both valves are opening and closing.
