Pitman arm out of round
How much is too out of round. I'm out of round by .036. Is it still useable or should I replace it with new arm or replace just the ball? 1930 4 door Briggs.

Re: Water temp problem
Bob, I start at 3/4 open and as it warms up i go to about 1/2 open. Any less it gets to lean and looses power.

Re: Water temp problem
Thanks Jim. That is what I've been doing. Its not boiling just running warmer than I would like per the temp gauge at the top of the head. I'll check the gauge for accuracy next. Great information.

Re: 1929 Sport Coupe Rear Window Trim Screws
I just went thru the same thing with my Sport Coupe. I finally called Snyders and they had some. Not 1 inch log but worked for me. Very reasonable price. Not shown in catalog.
