This is my theory, but putting ceramic coating on exhaust headers works well because it stops the actual header from heating up as much and forces...
I'd like to know the secret to timing these things. The book says 4 degrees advanced, if I set it to 4, it barely idles.
You could probably buy new ones, and sell your old ones on ebay. If you do the math, total cost of new ones minus the money you'll get from...
You should have no problems doing it that way. If the horn ring can handle a 6v system, it will handle the 12v easily enough.
What is that emblem on the centre of the dash? Is that something you've placed there or is it part of the vehicle?
Here's the pictures of my 51 Merc deluxe cab. I don't see the 5 holes as SMOKINFLATHEAD reported, but mine has the extra lip at the top that his...
I have a 51 Merc deluxe cab, and I do not see those holes, I will try to snap a picture this evening. PM me if I forget.
Many new cars don't have either, so you can see how they're not exactly essential. The ammeter, in my opinion is of the least value of the two....
You can read about the ozone here: http://www.theozonehole.com/ozoneholehistory.htm There's a hole (larger than the united states), so clearly...
I believe there were Europian manufactures building overhead valve and overhead cams long before the US manufactures did
Shame shame :)...
That's because the search functionality on this forum, like many other forums, is not exactly something to write home about... I've found if you...
How do you fasten the brake line to the frame? Do you run the brake line right against the frame, or use some sort of spacer so there is a small...

Only if you said it with a lithp.
If you want to go electronic, it can be done with the megasquirt for less cash than other approaches. I saw a post recently from...
Just to say you're running a hudson straight 6 to someone will leave you with a warm and fuzzy proud feeling for sure. You'll probably regret it...
They both look used to me. One's just a little cleaner than the other. I think selling them as a pair is the fair thing to do.

If you do chop it, consider a very minimal chop. Often when it's subtle, you don't necessarily consiously know it's been chopped but you can...
Question... will there be a list of what is and isn't interchangable from the original parts?
Sweet ride! Similar to mine, but mines a merc. Been lookin for a rear bumper like that for a long time, can't seem to find one that matches the...
Pumps can be done by yourself, just don't forget there is a bolt inside the water intake of the pump. Also, when you replace the head gasksts...
Yes I read it, thanks for the condescension though, but my comment still stands, it is not the main design goal to prevent over heating, and...
Thermostats aren't there to prevent your car from over heating, so taking them out shouldn't cause over heating. They are there to keep your...
I seem to recall originally, the oil line from the block in to the oil filter was a 1/4 inch hard line. Is that correct? Currently mine is a...
The top 2/3rds of the filter was dry, I don't think anything was getting in there.
