Re: Model a----a simple car
I've heard of tin foil (now you know how old I am...) I mean, aluminum foil, being used on gas line to prevent vapor lock. It is as good a heat sink as anything.

filling windshield washer resivoir with a mix of sugar water creates an interesting day. zipties on driveshafts or CV shafts makes a buncha racket i know all these are unrelated to quick fixes im sure with a basic pair of pliers, bailing wire, and a flat screwdriver you can get pretty Mac Gyvery if you have to. This was found on a car Rainmaker Ron and I pulled out of the weeds Dont need no stinkin junction box!

Re: Model a----a simple car
1. Be sure to allow at least 4 hours for any 15 minute project.
2. Be certain to have enough beer on hand for "helpers".

Re: Model a----a simple car
And when all else is lost and you are at your final wits end, ask a question on the ford barn where you will always get a answer to fix your problem. The people that post on here are the most knowledgeable model a folks in the world. And old Henry would be proud to know what he built is still beloved by millions today after all of these years.

Re: Model a----a simple car
Msh,
You're RIGHT! On cars that have set for a long time, usually if you clean the points carefully & put in FRESH fuel, they'll usually BANG right off! Bill W.
