Re: ?When to Pull the Tank?

After cleaning the tank well, I used a sealer in it. So far after 10 years or so, still in good shape.

Re: Brake adjustment

I found after adjusting as best I could, that taking the rig on a gravel road, get it going maybe 10 or so mph, then slam on the breaks. The skid marks tell you how well you adjusted the breaks.

Re: Huckster windshield

I think I would try somehow to trim the wood. But like mention, you need to be good with wood.

Re: Jerky Runner

Thanks, good information.
I use no crap gas in my rigs and that seems to work out great. So I think in the future I do need to use the MMO as you mentioned. Because I do leave my rigs in the shop...

Re: Jerky Runner

Well I took the old jerky runner out for a drive today. About 2 weeks after the MMO treatment in the cylinders. It started better than it ever did, after warming up (46 degrees around here today)...

Re: Jerky Runner

I also think I need to change the engine oil after this situation because I did put a liberal amount of MMO in the spark holes. I am sure a lot of it got in the engine oil. Maybe that is good for...

Re: Removing rear spring

It can be done but take the advise above. It can be a "widow" maker.

Re: Jerky Runner

Mark, the MMO idea sounds good. Will have to do. But I think the parades may go. Hard on the old rig, clutch etc. So think I will watch parades instead of being in them!

Re: Timing/Spark control arm

On my two "29" A's, the spark lever notch arms seem to be different. One is much longer than the other. Is this the difference between a 28/29 and a 30/31? I think maybe my 29 std coupe may have a...

Re: Where to start?

BTW Les Andrews book 1 is a good one to get. It gives you basic stuff about an A. Most arts vendors carry it.

Re: Wheel painting

I have done both methods of painting, powder and paint. Like mentioned, I think I like the paint idea better that the powder because it can be redone when needed. But both my rigs are drivers so...
