Re: Starter removal on a 55- HELP
Would it be possible to remove the two bolts in the end plate and disassemble the starter while attached to the engine and then maybe you could remove the armature/bendix from the engine?

Re: '59 Ford generator
There were 3 generators that were available 30, 35 & 40 amps. To check the out puts one would have to check the model number.

Re: 54 Merc stumbles from a dead stop
Check your accelerator pump in the carb , should be a squirt of gas coming out of the nozzle in the Venturi when you press the gas pedal as you take off from a stop.

Re: F10 champion plugs
Thanks for the information, I’ve got 9 boxes of new F10s that I guess would be suitable for a hippo Yblock if someone would be interested in them.

Re: F10 champion plugs
Well I’m assuming they aren’t worth much so I guess I’ll try a set in my 292 and see how it goes. They have been sitting in my shop for 40-50yrs and don’t remember where I got them from

Re: F10 champion plugs
Wonder when Champion stopped manufacturing the F10 and was it replaced by a new plug. Do new F10s have antique value?

Re: Highway speed vibration ('57 Thunderbird)
Yup, got an old school Bada M-60 bubble balancer, circa 1960s, and balanced all four drums, all of them were out of balance. One thing about a bubble balancer is gravity don’t lie.
