Wow- Ok, thanks! I’ll tell him. I’m assuming he will want to find them a new home. If anybody has a use for them let me know
A neighbor was cleaning out some property and found 5 of these amongst a bunch of other old car parts. He thought I might know what they go to...
So... "Thin the paint more" was good advice, as was increasing the PSI. After sanding with 220 I had another go at it. I thinned the paint 20%...
No- that is the product name, but no epoxy in what I'm using. It is polyurethane enamel. IIRC they used to use the name for a completely...
Thanks for your thoughts. To clarify a few points: The paint is a high quality marine paint suitable for use on metal with proper prep. I...
Background info: This is my first time painting, and I'm working panel by panel under a 3-sided carport, so my expectations aren't high, but this...
That article refers to a "Low bake converter" additive. Anybody know what that is, or what a modern-day equivalent might be? I'm interested to...
Don't know specifically on your '54, but sometimes you twist the light switch knob to turn on/up the dash lights. I'd check for voltage at a dash...
I'm going to brush/roller paint my truck in the driveway, but I live in a tightly-packed suburbia, so overspray on the neighbors cars would be a...
Some modern cores are pretty small. I had an oddball heater with a leaky core and ended up using the rear core from a '98-'03 Sienna with the...
Just an update: I did the mod with the relay as Trendz diagrammed above. Except I must have made a mistake. But it has turned out to be a GOOD...
Forgot to mention: the pwm stays nice & cool too! Maybe because I’m running it off the low speed power?
You guys have been busy... Today I did this: [ATTACH] And it works as expected. My mistake before was grounding the "Motor -" to the PWM and the...
I appreciate all the input. Not sure what direction I'm going. The unit in question is already installed, so opening up the case may be...
Here's the background: I've got a Vintage Air Heritage unit in my truck, and the fan blows harder than I need or want, and makes too much noise...
Sorry to hear that. I was hoping it was a solution...
I need to get it out of the garage and drive it! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I was reading about this one, but haven't tried it. I don't know enough to evaluate their claims about antenna length....
I used their motor too (and agree that the motor is a good one at a good price), with the Ron Francis...
Am I right in thinking: 1. I could wire the blower resistor either in the white wire from the motor to ground OR the red power wire with the 30...
Thanks 49! I’ll dig out the schematic VA provided with the unit and see if I can meld that with yours. It would be nice if I could just use the...
Any help would be much appreciated...
I'm interested in using a blower motor resistor to slow the fan of my VA "Heritage" under dash heat/AC unit. Just choosing 1980 Chevy C-10 at...
I now have a VA under the dash, and the only thing I don’t like is that the fan is awful noisy. If I could slow it down (it puts out more volume...

Thanks for doing that!
6 years and counting in my shop. So far so good. Maybe do the first bit from the compressor with metal to help the moisture condense out.
Thanks, I'm aware of the solenoids. Was just hoping to do it with a hand cable if possible.
I'm running an Edelbrock 1405 (that's the one with the manual choke) in my truck- Dodge 5.9 engine with low vacuum & a lumpy cam. I'd like to be...
