What books does one need to make a good daily driver out of a 1927 Chevrolet Capitol AA Sport Cabriolet. I ordered the 1927 SHOP MANUAL, 1927 BODY MANUAL and 1927 SERVICE NEWS. Also where can I order parts? Any good suppliers out there?

Don't know who did your carb, but he/she is basically giving you the correct information.
With an updraft carburetor, fuel is pulled up from the carburetor into the intake manifold and then into the cylinder head by engine vacuum. When the

1958 & 1959 Triple Turbine to Twin Turbine Conversion Kit
by

I seem to recall the question had come up on the Forum at one time whether Buick issued a factory kit to convert a Flight Pitch or Triple Turbine equipped car to a Twin Turbine transmission. This should answer the question.
This is from my 1940

Thanks for the welcome
The car is certainly "off the pedestal". It is driven and enjoyed. I am also not averse to functional upgrades, for example I converted the A/C to the modern refrigerant, and I'm afraid the air in the tires is no lo

Your other thing may be a fuel pump near the end of its life. I would get a fuel pressure gauge and make sure you have the correct fuel pressure, before and after the filter change.

I don't have any problem doing this using options from that year, for that car. My 1963 Chevy II came from the factory with a radio delete plate, I added the correct period radio, even down to the manual tune model (no pushbutton presets--oh the iron

In Lincoln and Continental Owners Club judging all options must be factory or dealer installed. No after-market. You can repaint the car any factory color for that year.
Certain cars do have factory records. I have a copy of the Production

That indicates raw gas above the venturi at the throttle plate. My guess is that the gas travels back down the throat and passes out through a worn shaft or bushing. Are you running an electric pump that has too much pressure? It could be a bunch of

I don't know, have you messed with the original air in the tires? The 1979 Chevy is a rare vehicle, I haven't seen one this week. If it has tinted windows maybe the radio upgrade won't be noticed, you do risk a fire messing with wires under the dash.
