Re: Jazz Age '28 Sport Coupe on Hemmings Auction

Re: Bill Stipe Houdaille shocks

He shouldn’t be a mystery to contact. He turned the business over to a son, and I believe Bill has stepped in to help. It’s also been said they’re in a long process to move the business to Kentucky. ...

Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?

B manifolds used in 32-34 are distinctly different as shown in the pictures posted by Randy. There are different versions of the B manifold, but this isn't one of...

Re: '31 pickup rear fender filler panels

Don't forget to add the fender mounting carriage bolts to the filler strip before you rivet them to the bed. They don't fit once it's on, so which would require use of the undersized bolt.

Re: Differential Pinion Gear Bearing Preload

KR Wilson made one too. They’re moderately easy to find.

Re: Balancing wire wheels with steel plate welded inside

I always do this. I straighten and balance the rims before I mount tires and tubes.

However, it doesn’t take much weight. Usually just running the welder a couple of inches in a line at most...

Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A

Briefly, the #3 cylinder on a VW is like the #4 cylinder on an A. It's out of the way and doesn't get as much cooling as the other cylinders do. The #3 in a VW is the forward most cylinder due to...

Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A

That’s not correct. The Bosch 010 distributor was a VW bus distributor used only one year, and used in industrial applications for years after that. The Bosch 009 distributor was a two year VW bug...

Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A

I wouldn’t bring the 009 into this discussion. It’s a centrifugal advance distributor but needs a carb that is properly matched. 009’s are very particular.

Most carburetors are designed for...

Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A

This is not correct as you stated. VW did this only for a handful of years, and not for the reason you stated. It only occurred in the 69-72 VW’s that were 1600cc before they went to the doghouse...
