  3. '47 Chrysler Highlander: solid car, new exhaust & brakes. #1 cylinder has low (45 psi) pressure...I think it needs a valve job (n o smoke when running). It has been sitting outside for 4 years, so it's not running at present (battery:-() Includes all the trim... has a dent in the top from a tree branch. $5,000.
  4. 1990 Miata with fairly high mileage, but in good condition... won a few AACA trophies. $3,500. firm.

  10. 30 Ford, converted to hydraulic brakes...worked fine when I put it up on blocks for the winter...brake pedal went to the floor & it didn't stop... checked & topped off the reservoir (it was down 3/4)... still nothing...pedal goes to the floor:-( any ideas? in the past, with other vehicles, topping off took care of it in most cases braking was restored, although I sometimes have had to bleed air. but never no brakes
  11. trying to figure out how to get access to the brake linings to replace them (rears)

  16. working on my Model A: I have a '31 SW Standard Sedan (Murray 160A) and I'm trying to find someone who has a proper restoration who might share some pictures of the paint job (I want to do Chicle & Copra) but how about the top molding & how do you do the hood & stripe, and particularly the interior. My references assure me that the interior window molding is maroon (what maroon?), and I find conflicts in how the dash is done (some say wood-grain upper, others say maroon), what the window moldings are supposed to be (mine are plain, not fancy like Mac's ad), etc, etc. Thanks in advance ttallaniii@gmail.com
  17. Want to repaint my "31, but not sure the way you remove the stainless cowl trim... The "online forums" seem to dance around the actual removal process.
  18. My '31 Chrysler CM6 battery is under a floorboard on the driver side. The floormat material is screwed down. The owner's manual doesn't describe getting the battery out. Mine has lost it's charge... what's the best way to recharge the battery (6v, pos. grnd)?? Tom
  19. Pulled the head off the "A" today, and when cleaning it up found a small crack in the water jacket near the center of the head. Is this likely to pose any kind of problem in the future. I doesn't go beyond the picture, and doesn't affect the cylinder area. thanks, Tom
  20. John will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
  21. Anyone know age/application for this old Mallory condenser. It is much larger diameter than modern... has "Mallory Electrical Corp., Detroit Mich" on the headplate. ??
