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?

Yup. 8RT is what you need. I used them in a 40 Ford. Had them rebuilt by Skip Haney using the spiral impellors.

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.

zigster: I doubt if the seller of that engine will be able to find a buyer.
It's not worth even $100 unless you need the parts, IMO.

Re: Removing seat from 1951

Get out your trusty flashlight, adjust the seat as far back as it will go and look under the seat to find where it bolts to the floor.

Re: 39 door lock. Drill out hardened screw

Good job. That's a tedious repair that requires the patience of a toothache.
Well done.
