Re: Babbit replacement

Problem is I don't have any old rods or otherwise to melt the babbit out of.

I know that the "no lead" plumbing solder is fairly hard compared to 50-50 or 60-40 solder.

Babbit replacement

Would modern "no lead" plumbing solder work for babbit bearing repairs? Can't find new babbit locally.

Re: Clutch Plate Bolt question

The flywheel is cast iron, so it is easily stripped if the bolt is over tightened.

If installing a Helicoil or similar insert use the pressure plate for an alignment guide when drilling.

Re: Victoria body drop

Re: Fuse size

The horn power comes right off the cutout, doesn't go through the fuse unless the engine is off.

Re: How many miles should spark plugs last?

Swap # 4 plug around w/another plug, drive it around for a while then check the plug that is in #4 and also the plug that was previously in #4.

Re: Cleaning the radiator

Yes, if the engine is stopped, if it's still running water can be added slowly. Old school trick, (been there, done that).

Re: Water Pump Options

Tighten the packing nut slowly when the engine is running, not when it's stopped.

Re: Steering Wheel Slop

Did you check the king pins for slop?
