I’m a member of the ccca national , metro region and Long Island sound region . I hope everyone enjoys the show , I wish I can attend not bring the car but just attend

Yeah , I know it was a probably a terrible idea . I used it on my regular cars it worked for the time being .
I guess when I take the radiator out , at the same time I’ll rebuild the water pump

Where are you Located, check out the 29 club . When I get home later I’ll check the newsletter and see if anyone is selling spare motors

So since I’ve been driving the car more and more since I got it noticed it’s been leaking some coolant from the bottom of the radiator . It’s little here And there but it adds up, before I take he radiator out and have it fixed or re-core. Should I try and radiator fix stuff they sell at the local auto parts store

Thank you that’s very good information on rebuilding the oil pump , going to give it a try . Just ordered extra jack stands and going to try and see if I have enough room to get underneath the car to do this .

Soo next weekend my goal is to drop the oil pan in the 38 century , and clean it then possibly rebuild the oil pump .
Is it fairly easy to remove the pan ? I know on my 32 and 29 it’s fairly easy just gotta take your time .

Whitewalls work because of the side mount covers. Having them exposed make the car look shorter and too busy. With the issues of scuffing, cleaning, and two to three times the failure rate of WW over black walls.....I would go black. Also, if you actually drive the car......covers can be a big hassle with flats........in the end, do what you like.........decisions for judging and showing are diffrent than considerations for drivers. Car looks great......I like it.
The tires in the side mounts seem to be original they are U.S royals they are heavily aged ..
If I ever did get a flat I’ll be screwed .

I also would like to know that information
-
I need help deciding, I’m about to order some new tires before I tackle the front end ..
I can’t decide whether to keep the whitewalls or go with the black walls
-
I’ll give it a try

Soo, after doing some research, as well as some insight from others . Few people recommend that I pack the pipe that connects the heat riser with the exhaust valve with some form of insulation to help trap the carbon.
any recommendations on what to use ?
-
Thank you after following these instructions, the car never ran better. I also replaced the rubber hose fuel line with new line and routed it differently , that also helped greatly
