Just some insight to how the system works here: Laws & regulations vary by state but here in Kansas for vehicles pre '49 (if I remember...
Wow! I think this is the same place? [MEDIA]
The last batch I bought was from Van Dyke's taxidermy...I ordered baking soda at the same to neutralize it. I'll compare prices once I figure out...
I need to mix a new batch of OA and don't remember what mix ratio I used last time. After searching it seems most people recommend 1-2 heaping...
I know! I doubt it'll be free. I don't mind paying $100 for it, having the fun of digging it up, then selling for $100. I just don't want to...
A friend found this car on a nearby farm and sent me these pictures. I'm trying to figure out what it is to see if it is worth buying & digging...
I have a 40 gallon tub of oxalic acid I've been using for about a year on a lot of parts. It isn't working as well now and I'm getting a lot more...
The HF ones won't fit a 4 barrel unless you disassemble it and rotate it. Only deep enough for half at a time.
Two different cars over a span of around 8 years. Last one that burnt up on me was 2-3 years ago but the car had only been driven about 500 miles...
I always carry points in the glove box because I've had 3-4 Pertronix units quit on me. I've also talked to people that have installed dozens of...
I bought one online from Harbor Freight and used it a lot to do small carbs and other parts...eventually the heater quit. I'd also spilled some...
Just finished putting a trans pan & skidplate back under a truck, cleaned tools & put away....then see the trans filter laying on the bench.
I can't help it. I like nipples.
I ran into the same problem on a '61 Electra. My local radiator shop could order a core that would work much like recoring a radiator. I ended...
I've read about people mixing oxalic acid or vinegar with corn starch to form a paste that can be applied to body panels. Haven't tried it yet.
I do general late model repair and keep a restoration/hot rod project or two. I'd like to move more towards the resto but haven't pushed it yet....
Old enough the VIN or title number wasn't in a database...went to a different state, etc. Here in KS the only thing required to get a title for...
I have a tub of oxalic acid in the shop that I use to dissolve rust. If I have the time EVERYTHING goes in there for a day or two before...
Oxalic acid is in the same family as vinegar but quite a bit stronger. I got my baking soda & acid from http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/. Mine...
I have a tub of oxalic acid I soak parts in. If your block is that bad I'd either leave it in there for at least 3-4 days...won't hurt anything...
I've done this with TIG welds and works about the same except the heat zone is usually smaller than with a gas torch. When I used to torch weld...
Looking good
Kansas
Usually until they are clean. Sorry couldn't resist. lol A shop I worked at had a tumbler that worked good. It was a rectangular metal...
Fuel stabilizer will only keep gas good for 60-90 days. I'd dry them out as good as you can & plan on probably putting a kit in them anyway.
After reading a lot of reviews and checking prices online & in store I bought mine from North Central Air: http://www.ncaircompressors.com/ They...

Shop I worked at painted the insides of every block & head with Glyptol and never had a problem with it. Seals porosity in the castings, helps...
