I took my '32 B block in to a place that bakes the gunk off the blocks, etc.

Re: Some Mechanic's Books
Thanks for the book recommendations. This is the kind of info that comes in real handy, sometimes it all gets forgotten over time. These troubles we have have usually already been dealt with before.

Re: distributor problrrm?
My 94 tends to get too rich for its own good too, esp. in the warmer weather. Does better when it's cool out.

Re: First use of POR 15
Glad to hear about the POR-15 in use. I've always seen the vendors selling it but wanted opinions on real-life use. I'm not sure it's for me.

Re: Parts prices are killing our hobby
It is absurd when folks hoard parts and won't let them go. I understand having extras, but the guy who tells you at the swap meet that he has six "B" blocks on his shelves and won't let go of them is...

Re: 1955 Ford Club Sedan Refresh Blog
Something that helped me a lot is putting a dehumidifier in my garage, drain hose hust goes down the drain in the floor.
