The control valve flapper was a little loose.

Re: Soon to be a Model A owner

Whitewall owners never use distilled water in their radiator or battery either. They use nothing but recycled creek water.:D:)

Re: F-100 steering box questions

Has anyone installed a shortened PITMAN ARM that Snyder's sells? One and one-half inches shorter than the stock Pitman Arm. (Part # A-3590-S) "Says it makes for easier steering".:rolleyes:

Re: Emergency brake handle

Soak the boot in hot water and you can slide it over the PARKING brake handle without tearing it or having to cut it. A little WD-40 helps, too.:)

Re: Engine "Rattle"

I had a heater valve flapper that was loose and made a rattling noise. Anything attached up against the firewall can make strange noises that are hard to pinpoint.
