Re: Mid-Atlantic Pre-War Swap Meet, 05/10/2024-05/11/2024, Luray, VA

Actually, that is kinda confusing as I think that is for those of us who are going on the Tour after the swap meet. Two weeks ago when I was in Luray with Dennis, he told me they had 54 cars signed...

Re: The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

#1 - Yes, based on the thoughts of mine and several others, the prudent method is a maximum overbore of 0.060 and then sleeve back to 3.875" on a used cylinder block. The only other caveat is the...

Re: Distributor wiring

If you want to change the distributor on the side of the road, what do you do then? Unscrew it from the base plate? Imagine the stress that would cause if you dropped that little nut into the grass...

Re: 3 window coupe

Dave the picture is distorted (-at least on my screen) but that body appears to be a regular 45B body, ...and not one of the Budd-built 3W bodies. Am I mistaken??

Re: The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

Yes, ...this is one of the main reasons why I purchased a sonic tester just to be able to find thin spots on these engines. Imagine if you had finished all of the machine work on that engine only to...

Your points are valid. In society today, it seems most people need 'scapegoat' to pin the blame on when things go catastrophically...

Re: engine compression levels.

Actually, it generally tells quite a bit. When used in conjunction with a sensitive RPM gauge, it can help diagnose items like a worn cylinder(s), or too lean fuel mixture, or leaking manifold, etc....

Re: The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

Bob, I agree with you however the print shows the finished thickness size to be 0.250". It does not give a + or - tolerance with that number. Based on the sheer quantity of blocks that were cast,...

Re: engine compression levels.

Compression Tests are not really a good indicator. Worn rings with cylinders filled with oil can equal those numbers, -or more. What you need to do is perform a cylinder leakage test and then a...

Re: The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

This thread is going in a direction of "I have done this and gotten away with it..." which is NOT what I intended this thread to be. To me, this is much akin to saying I have driven 100mph several...

Re: A call for help to the electrical specialists.

Joe, if the charging rate could not be determined, it was because there was not any load detected by the Ammeter, -or the wiring is routed incorrectly.

Next, is this "3-wire Alternator" using an...

The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

If you had to stake all your worldly possessions on getting this answer correct, I am asking this question regarding overheating due to cylinder bores that are too thin. What would you say the...

Re: Mid-Atlantic Pre-War Swap Meet, 05/10/2024-05/11/2024, Luray, VA

I believe Dennis told me yesterday they had 76 different vendors pre-registered with over 100 spaces. He said there is always a few that take a chance and come without reserving spaces.

I'm not...

Re: Mid-Atlantic Pre-War Swap Meet, 05/10/2024-05/11/2024, Luray, VA

I was in Luray yesterday and I was in a T shirt. It was mid 70s. The morning was a bit crisp likely in the low 50s.

Re: 2024 Old Car Festival - Greenfield Village

Is that the one where a lady driving was chauffeuring me??


As far as contacting them, usually they do not start accepting applications for the event until June because of prior scheduled events.

Re: how to get bushings out of oil pump without busting the casting (again)

Like JJ, we just use a tap threaded into the bushing and a metal rod up thru the pump. Unlike the previous good advice, we are 'less-gentle' and just pound the rod against a flat place on our vise...

Re: axle housing bent

Yes, I have done many. Likely like you, I use a live center mounted into the differential race on my headstock end so that I know I have true center. On the hub race end, I am now using a 4-jaw...

Re: 2024 Old Car Festival - Greenfield Village

While it is always subject to being accepted by OCF, my plans are to take my 1909 Tourabout and 1914 Ford Salesman's car.

Re: Front and Rear Hubs 28 Model A

I am not totally understanding your question(s) but Yes, the studs need to be swaged to rivet the drum to the hub. This is also critical because the wheel is piloted off of the taper of the lug nut.

Re: Leaking gas tank

The issue is that the tank bracket is riveted to the tank and also thru a reinforcing plate. What we have found when restoring these is the tank will have stress cracks radiating out from the rivet...

Re: New Ahooga Horns from Suppliers

It is worth noting that while the new A&L horns were very close to being aesthetically correct, they are not close enough to be judged in MARC/MAFCA competition. I think there will always be a place...
