  1. The oil will drain if the bottom bolt is removed. Ben
  2. Greg, the above mentioned Alan Kriss did my '50 radio. Very satisfactory. Ben
  3. Good for you, John. Changed the plug wires to their proper plugs?? Sounds like a story here someplace. Ben
  4. Greg, he has a mod 43, which is a Special, with a 248. The Super is the 263, but the manifolds are the same. Yours should work. Ben
  5. Memories!!!! They can come at the darndest times. Great story from Greg. Thanks. Ben
  6. Tom, that does not look too bad! Unless you are going to drive a lot, you might use it. But really, find a clutch and brake or gear shop locally. They can redo the facing. Ben
  7. RonJ, My manual says 450 rpm for '50. Should be the same as yours. Ben
  8. John, If you don't hurry up on that 'first' car, we are both going to be too old to enjoy it!!:D:D Ben
  9. Agree with Mark. Perhaps rotate tires. I have had cars that pulled hard to one side that recovered with a new tire. Ben
  10. Yeah, Brian. All the fun and all that knowledge out there that WE are missing. Bummer. Ben
  11. Terrill Machine is #1 in my book. Highly recommend. Ben
  12. Age 60??? I was 71 when I started mine. Only difference in work is your soft top. GO FOR IT. Ben
  13. Tom, they are available from Bob,s in California and CARS,INC in New Jersey. But if you have the old clutch plate, you should be able to have it rebuilt . I too0k mine to a1 clutch and driveline shop here in town. Ben
  14. Dale, isn't it about time for some PICTURES??::D Ben
  15. Too bad, Dan Hopefully the new owner will get it sorted out. Ben
  16. Craig, for my '50, I measured the mesh "cartridge" and was able to get a paper filter from the parts store that was almost perfect. One has to look closely to even notice it. Ben
  17. Chris, looking good. I can almost hear it run!! Ben
