Eventually I want to switch to hard lines. Not sure if push-fit would make sense with them.
A friend reminded me the brake-line style flare-and-nut is a compression fitting, so I think this is it......
So hopefully one last question. The corrosion was pretty heavy between the brass fittings and the aluminum manifold, so I thought I'd replace all...
Thanks but the leaks were valves inside the manifold housing, not on a threaded fitting.
About fittings ... the site where I ordered them only sells air suspension parts but they do not list the PSI ratings of the NPT fittings....
Yeah, looks like I'll be getting a new (stainless) tank, too, so easy enough to order up a pile of fittings while I'm shopping. The water that...
Well, the good news is that I found new-in-box replacements on eBay for the manifolds. They were even reasonably priced at just $150 apiece....
Yeah I did some reading about that e-Level thing, it sounds pretty cool. If/when it reaches the point that I just want to replace the whole setup,...
Yeah I was planning to put a drier inline but internal rust hadn't occurred to me.
Thanks both of you, I'll take a quick look to see if they come apart at all, and failing that, I'll check out Accuair.
I bought a 60 Impala a few years back which already had an air-ride suspension installed. Last weekend I realized the rear solenoid valves were...
Hey Juan: About one year has passed since you posted this, and I'm still waiting for the three pieces that make up the rest of the trunk emblem...
We haven't seen anything in our experiences with United Plating to suggest that Bumper Boyz are related. And in fact, one of the reasons we tried...
I'll just say that everything my friend posted at the start of this thread went down just as he said... although Juan and his wife Maria aren't...
Yeah, his story sums it up pretty well. For some reason they seem to kick-ass when it comes to plating bumpers, ours turned out great......
A friend (I think his username is nailheadroadster here) bought a rear bumper from them and was very impressed with the quality. Later we both...
Actually the salt is what "resets" the resins (re-ionization). Tan X is used to remove corrosion from the valves that mix and release the salt...
I'm re-re-reviving this thread. I decided to try the citric acid powder route. Will this have any negative effects on chrome, or (hopefully) any...
I don't know about you guys, but this absolutely is not normal generator behavior: At *idle* mine is always in the discharge range. I'm guessing...

I almost hesitate to post this. It isn't nearly "abandoned" by HAMB standards. But last year I randomly came across this photo of my car, taken a...
For anybody who finds themselves in, passing through, or even going near Midland, TX, look up the Oil & Gas Museum. The back area has a bunch of...
There is no prop valve, just a one-in/two-out distribution block in the middle of the car going to the rear wheels. With the exception of the...
My Generac whole-house generator is a Honda 1.6L inline four, but it uses some tiny little alternator with no obvious brand name on it. Doesn't...
Yeah that article I linked to had some speculation about using a resistor to provide that load (which I'd prefer over a light bulb... it would be...
I'm switching out my 55 Buick's generator for a GM single-wire alternator. I am looking for information about how to retain the gas pedal starter...
Took this tonight. For the moment it's my new favorite Buick photo... For some reason the slogan just cracks me up. [IMG]
Just FYI, I live in Jax and there isn't any beach by that name here. Google shows it 1200 miles north, in Maine, which probably also narrows down...
Found several cool full-color 55 Buick newsprint advertisements in the glovebox of my 55 Super, plus a 55 Pennsylvania tag under the back seat....
I've seen this photo with the enclosed Auto Union streamliner before, but I've never been able to find anything clearer or newer (or anything else...
