Re: Engine Number

Changing a vin number is something that you do not want to be involved with

In Calif, it's all the frame numbers when it comes to the...

Re: Engine Number

There's something that California still has going for it, if you need the "vin" number verification they want to see the frame number. They could care less about any numbers on the engine :rolleyes:

Re: Engine Number

Engine purchased from a rebuilder that came from some other car. When installed in your car the factory #’s do not match your paperwork or registration

Re: Removing Lug Nut from Spinning Stud

If the new stud still has a good fit in the hub hole I would not worry about the scar on the back side of the hub as it does not look very deep

Re: Car will not start

Usually, a bad head gasket affects one or two cylinders only, and almost all of the time the engine will run just not well. You said that you have spark to the plugs but is it at the correct time ?

Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A

Yea, the advance is backwards. You can change the Bosch 009 ( A centrifugal advance only distributer) by revirsing the way the weights advance.
Also the 009 type does not retard the #3 firing, that...

Re: bedix???

Yep, pull the starter forward and a few drops of a lightweight oil on the bendix spiral area to get it moving freely and you should be good to go.
Just dont over do it with the oil :)

Re: V8 Clutch in Model A: Something is not right

Looks like the spring center hub stands very proud of the clutch center steel disc. Might just be the angle of the pic.
I checked a used disc that was on the shelf and it is only 3/8" as seen in the...

Re: counterbalanced crank welds

Probably no bolts holding the counterweights on that crank, just 100% weld around the weight. Two different ways to get the same result, both work fine

There are a lot of crankshafts that were done that way back in the day. Never really heard of it being a problem. It should also have a small weld on the bolt heads to keep them coming loose. More...
