Re: Misfire mystery

Re: Which Headers
I've just installed the Red's tube header. It was nicely built, finished pretty well and fit great. I primed and painted it with high heat stuff and then wrapped it. Just finished a couple of weeks...

Re: Waterpump nut
If you can't stop the "leak" with gentle pressure on the packing nut, you may need more packing. Keep in mind that a drip once every now and then isn't a "leak".

Re: Remove Rear Fenders

Re: Remove Rear Fenders
I'll take one last shot at advising against this plan. Highly probable that you're going to ruin the paint in this process. You won't be at all pleased when that happens. That is, of course, unless...

Re: Quick jack lift for Model A
So what did you use for "lifting points"? And, I know that you can buy "truck extenders" from Quick Jack (I think those are the tallest available form QJ), are those the extenders that you used?

Re: Grease gun problem
You need to bleed the air out of the gun just prior to the hose. Loosen up one of the fittings on the end of the cap slowly until you can start to see grease ooze out around the threads. Don't remove...

Re: Wheel spacers
Between the drum and the rim. The spacer provides a "full contact" surface for the rim.

Re: Wheel spacers
I'm using spacers similar to the ones that you envision using to adapt modern wheels to Model A drums. While it's not exactly the same application, it's working well so far --- after about 1,000...

Re: just wondering-transmission
The Mitchell 3 speed synchro trans has a taller 1st and 2nd ---- one tooth each I believe but no hope for 3rd. So you can wind up 1st and 2nd a bit more.
