Re: Idle Mixture Screw
Back in 73 my dad bought a new Datsun pickup. After he had it for about a month it wasn't as peppy as it had been so he took it back to the dealer. The salesman took a ride with him and told him he...

Re: Shortened pitman arm
My dad installed one on his 28 and when I rebuilt the steering box on my 30 I put one on. Huge difference! I highly recommend them!

Re: sign of the times
Back in the mid 70's my dad and I restored a AA truck. That was the first vehicle I learned to drive. From there I went up to a 53 International pickup with 3 on the tree.

Re: New Coupe
order it now - the wait time is very long since there is only 1 supplier now.
Who is the supplier? I'm just starting in on a sedan. Thanks,

Re: Idle Mixture Screw
Start off by putting a 1/8 pipe plug in the vacuum port on the intake. If your car runs better then you know where to look for a vacuum leak. I use a manual vacuum pump to test the wiper and lines....
