Re: Do you wonder why your car rides poorly? (springs)

tubman, I love a nice rake. I lowered the front end of my 1st car 3 inches, a 1950 Ford 6 cyl. 2 door sedan. Everyone loved the look, and it cornered really good. A true "old school teacher's car". I...

I agree with Kube here. As we age, the demand will go down.

Re: 8ba Rebuild - worth the cost?

Farmer rebuild or good running take out for me. Should have done a "farmer" on my last one, oh no, I just had to go big time. Looking back, a waste of $$$. IMHO

Re: Inline 6 more rare than V8 in a Shoebox?

My 1st car was a 50 with the 6 and o/d trans. Used oil bad, so saved up & had it rebuilt.
Mild bore & deck job. Long story short; it would beat most V8s till about 50 mph & bury the peg in 3rd gear...

Re: Merc Driving Vid

I had a "teapot" as we called them, and it was very sensitive to any contamination. Good luck Ralph. Love your videos & pics.

Re: Mismatched Head Light Glass in 1936 Fords

I wonder if there were Federal Gov. photometric requirements back then like there is today. Might explain some differences.

Re: Ford Flathead AFR Gauge Anomalies

Even a single carb on a stock engine will run like crap with a paper element in a "Chrome Bonnet". I still use the original 1960 screen mesh element & it works fine.
