After sleeping for almost 15 years, my '29 Tudor woke up again yesterday! She couldn't have recovered from that rest without a lot of help from folks on this forum....I have read every post back to 2010 and it's unbelievable how much great advice and information can be found here. After timing Marco's way, new oil, and a few new ignition parts, she's running fairly well...I still have to open the GAV about a turn and a half after she's warmed up to allow use of the throttle for a smooth acceleration but when attempting to set the idle, the idle mixture screw doesn't seem to have any effect even when screwed fully in. Sure would appreciate any suggestions at this point....I'm so excited to have the family A running again and will never let her sit like that again! It's time to get her off these jack stands and hit some of these Texas Hill Country roads to add a few more miles on her clock...32,457 original miles now. Thanks to everyone who has helped and encouraged me....sure I will have a bunch of new questions now that she's running!
