57 Fairlane 500, automatic transmission
My transmission was overhauled a year ago, now it leaks like sieve. I am thinking I need to swap out to a more modern style. I know I will need the adapter plate, what is my best option?

Starter cleanup
I have a starter to put in my 60hp, it has been laying around for years, I will tear it apart, check the fields and brushes, etc. My question is do I lubricate the bendix or leave it dry?

Re: Carburetor rebuilder
I will contact Max. I am wintering in the south so didn’t have his contact info. He did the carb for my 35 a few years ago, excellent work and looked great.

Does anyone have a secret formula for getting the mouse smell out of a pickup? All the fabric, rubber. Etc, is removed. Just metal body to deal with.

Age old question but I want a refresher. I need to pull the cast iron heads off my 49 8ba. Do I use copper spray on the new head gaskets and anti-sieze on the stud bolts?
