Re: 40 Sedan Deluxe Speaker install - No studs?

Re: pertronix distributor

Here's an 8BA intake but I just realized the vacuum port below the throttle plates is for the vacuum wipers. Could that be used for the Pertronix instead of for the wipers?

Re: What water pumps do I need?

Re: VE Day May 8th 1945

Thanks Pete. Sadly, most of the WW II vets are no longer with us.

I wonder if this day is even mentioned in high school history classes anymore?

Re: Changing of the Guard. A new breed of car nuts.
