I am using it in the transmission of my 1914 Maxwell, and it seems to work well. Having seen the promotional films for it, I would not use it in a steering box, though.

All C6's ,,,pity. Generally with Fords { Merc's } the original motor is not as big a deal as with other makes. On several of the CJ's I have seen even the partial vin is almost impossible to read. Others I have seen are reasonably clear but far from all. And more or less impossible when the engine is installed. Al are you sure the partial vin is stamped on some of the heads ? I have only ever seen it at the back of the block , but I have no experience with 427 cars, just 428 CJ's. Mustangs , Cougars, Torino's and Cyclones.

The Wife and I left at 5:00am for the 3 hour drive north to Carlisle. My main objective was to pick up the new set of tires and tubes from Coker for my recent Model A Sedan purchase. We did spend a few hours walking the isles (saw about 1/3 of it) after picking up the tires and hooked up with some friends for lunch. Was certainly a picture perfect beautiful day to be out and about! Other than $1,300 worth of tires, I spent $5 on a cool pre-war taillamp that is kind of unusual. Lots and lots of post war parts and performance stuff but enough pre-war items to be interesting. Crowd was large and vendors seemed to be busy. Walked by Craig's spaces twice @mobileparts but didn't stop to chat. He was busy with multiple customers both times.

I suggest you go to the DBC club roster and find someone with a Standard for those pictures. A Standard is a pretty unusual car, not made very long in 1928.

I’m away from the car just now but I’ll photograph it when I get home in the next few days. Thanks for your thought. I’d love to go to Hersey myself but it’s a trek from the west coast.

I think you have your answer-yes! The hobby is so diverse that appealing to everyone is impossible. I'm drawn to the cars that are seldom seen. Cars from independent manufacturers, surviving originals and stripper models, regardless of make, model or engine all speak to me. That's a rule of thumb, but honestly I never know which car will suck me in until I see it. As someone indicated previously it's all about the car. Those of us who recognize that every car has a story may not be mainstream, but we are not going away. You won't have to look for us at a car show or cruise, we will find you!

The verdict is now that I’ve spent $300 on a lifetime warranty starter I’m not going to spend more money on a box to defeat the start stop. Future failures will only cost me a couple hours so I’ll leave it. My rough estimation is that the start/stop has saved about $900 of gas over the life of the starter. If I was paying someone to do the work, it would probably be a wash.

That's going to be really difficult to shift.

It appears to be one of the many dozens of spare tire locks made and sold by "Oakes" in the 1920s. They made many different ones to fit specific cars as well as common types that might fit many cars. Dozens of automakers offered them as factory options as well as dealer options. The keyed lock unit itself was usually one of about three common sizes.

With all due respect, you are probably not going to find a buyer here on the AACA Forums…. Try Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, HAMB, etc…

Greetings! I am in the process of replacing the bottom windshield channel in my 65 GS. It is/was rusted pretty far up the dashboard. Anyway, when I was taking the old rusted piece out, I noticed there is a cork gasket that sits under the piece removed. It stretches across the complete bottom of the windshield channel. If you have ever taken one out, you will know what I mean. I would like to replace the cork gasket. Is it needed? What are the pros and cons? Thanks, Jim

Could it be possible that these old cars (I have a 30 & a 52 with 3 speed manual transmissions) may rotate too slowly for corn head grease to liquefy and get everything lubricated properly? I'm thinking of the input and tail shaft brgs.

I like your garage , with the wall paper

Joann Fabrics or sewing supply stores carry padding material Had good luck with what I used under my roof material

Wonderful how SBC support is perpetual. I replaced the rusted-out "Pinched Tube" in my 1957 RAMs Horn exhaust which is a straight tube ordered for this very application. I suppose an exact "Pinched" replacement is too much to ask for in the aftermarket. Light shines through:

Chryslers at Carlisle was at one time the biggest marque show they had and one of the biggest Mopar shows in the US. The Carlisle All-GM is pitiful by comparison. Go with him, Kerry. You'll have a great time.

Learning the struggle of Firestone rims and 33x 4 tires! lol

Moonshiner Tickle hosted one at his Tickles' Table restaurant last Saturday, and plans to host them 2nd Saturday afternoons thru October. I was pleasantly surprised at the cars and people that showed up because I've gotten a bit jaded to a lot of the cars and especially owners who haunt cruise nights in this area. When you've seen the same old stuck-in-the-80s cars and their owners who peaked in high school for 30+ years, you'll sometimes wonder if it's worth the effort to visit a cruise night. I was especially pleased to see the number of younger people (under 40!😄) who brought out completed cars and works in progress. Two boys I mentored 20 years ago brought 70s Chevy trucks and dragged me over to show me what they were working on.

My unbiased opinion is that it is better! Moparfest in New Hamburg, Ontario is the second largest Mopar show after Carlisle if he wants the Canadian Mopar experience.

Thank you for that research! The history of telephone communications is interesting, and very complicated. For all the talk of the ubiquitous "Ma Bell" for half a century? The reality was that telephone systems for more than a hundred years were mostly regional, and many of the companies were very small. I worked for over thirty years in communications systems contracting. We did it all, from digging the trenches to bury cables to servicing connections in people's homes and business. While most of our "bread and butter" work was television systems related, much of it was early programming by satellite, we also did a lot of information technologies (long before they called it "IT"), and some telephone systems. We serviced one of the last small local telephone companies in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California. My dad was one of the last technicians that had real experience with and understood the old automatic dialer mechanisms. Some of the equipment we serviced dated from the 1920s! And replacement parts hadn't been made since the 1960s. Just a few years before my dad died, that system was taken over by one of the larger "small companies" and the switching went to modern digital equipment. Most local phone companies had to meet specific requirements for compatibility, however, as late as the 1980s, there were still many small local companies that had to connect long distance through a human operator. I have often wondered when some major area went to the modern exchange name and five numerical digits phone numbers. Thank you for that! It was something I did not know was quite that early. (It is amazing how far back some of these things do go?)

This is not the 1st time of vibration complaints in this speed range for 1964-65 Rivieras. People post the issue here but seldom do we hear a follow-up if resolved or not. I do not recall similar complaints on the crude 1963 Propeller Shafts, even those that were shortened for transmission swaps. As for this situation, try unbolting at the pinion yoke, rotate 180 degrees and re-attach followed by a test drive. Perhaps this is not a balance issue as it appeared in previous posts. Maybe shaft angles? After 60 years, maybe the required shims under the center support bearing was left out? Perhaps a 1963 center support bearing was used in your Rivieras past? 1963 has a different height.

RBC bearing # 6101/4VBF53 is a very close match! 1925 Maxwell and 1925-26 Chrysler Four used the same Nice 4901 bearing.
