Re: Anyone running Shock Absorbers from Snyder's?

I just bought a set from Brattons, getting ready to install. Were the original shocks painted? If so, painted black?

Thanks !

Hi again all,

Thanks for your continued help. My restoration on a '29 54-A continues, and it's running!

Hi folks,

Thanks for your help. Jumper cables didn't work, but running the negative and positive leads directly to the starter worked! Thanks very much for your help.

Re: Starter hang up with modern bendix?

Thanks Marshall. I checked and the bevel is facing the back. Wondering if the starter itself isn't strong enough to turn the engine.

Re: Replacement shifting forks?
