  1. Yes, especially on the corners getting whipped sideways and flipped out. Great way to give the first responders something to do. That's not a trailer, it's a ridgid extension.
  2. I bet that back seat was a wild ride on corners. Like the old whip ride in a carnival. Talk about the need for seat belts, forget their uses for collisions!!!
  3. Just go buy a Franklin or if you need something newer, a Corvair.
  4. I see that. That makes it well worth the extra cost. They also list the other two pumps (31-34 6 cyl. and the V12) with the pins included. Thank you for pointing that out. Bill
  5. Mike, not sure of what Buick has but, Franklin uses a double Timken roller bearing and has a grease fitting to grease them. Normally the differential oil doesn't get to the outer reaches except in rare cases.
  6. oops!! I did make a mistake on the F. In fact, if you look at the Franklin Service Station issue 166, Jan. 2021 you will see I somehow made the same mistake in my write up on the Franklin Fuel pumps A & B. In that issue I delve into the biggest problem with the 29/30 pump and why AC got rid of the model. A few years before that I informed Restoration Stuff about their kits fitting Franklins. I guess it just fell on deft ears. Bill
  7. Paul, Restorationstuff.com has those pump repair kits for $34.00 which is a bit cheaper than Then and Now Automotive. their number is EPA018. No reason not to save a few bucks. Bill
  8. Gary, over here in Delaware there was an exchange "Trojan 5". I wonder what was on their minds. The Greeks? of something else haha
  9. I stand corrected. I was not going by the numbers on the photo but rather the fact that all the vehicles shown were opposite with steering and tags on the right. I couldn't read the numbers on the tags until you posted the close up. Obviously, they drive on the left side of the road in Playa Verde, Montevideo. My mistake.
  10. Horologists (clock repairmen) used to use potassium cyanide to clean brass parts. It would leave brass in its original state. They have, for the most part, stopped using it and have turned to safer chemicals. I would suggest looking into cleaning clock parts on an internet search to find what you need.
  11. I don't know if Paul needs the business or he's busy or has a back log, but you can't beat his fan job. It's fantastic and done just like the Franklin factory did it 90+ years ago. Don't put it off and think your fan is OK. 90+ years takes its toll. Get it done! If you don't, you'll be sorry.
  12. Be careful when you by new long flare nuts. Read their description and make sure you are buying 45 degree long flare nuts. They come in both 37 and 45 degrees, steel and brass.
  13. That didn't grow like that, it's a made up novelty with Christmas lights. Look close at the front frame and bumper attachment. The frame was open ended and the car pushed into the tree and then reassembled. Neat looking.
  14. In 1938 the first Federal Minimum wage was established. It was a whopping 0.25 cents an hour.
  15. ah come on, with the seat back there's no problem getting under the dash. However, keep your cell phone with you to call 911 to get out!!!! hahaha

    Carburetor

    Could someone tell me the outside diameter of the Model A's Zenith carburetor's intake mouth? Thanks
  17. The air coming out of the doors is heat air not air conditioned air. All the air conditioned air comes out of the center unit in the dash. It sounds like you have one or multiple vacuum line leaks. Take the driver side front wheel off and remove the rear panel, where you will find multiple 1/8" vacuum lines with probably split ends. Also check the ends of all the vacuum lines you can find. This was a common problem even when the Lincolns were just used cars with 3-5 years on.
  18. This is a family site...........we don't want to go there!
  19. I had a 54 Olds with a tredlevac power brake system that would do that. The Tredlevac system was mounted under the peddle below the floor and was too close to the new exhaust system and it would heat up causing the problem.

    Engine straps

    I agree. Most importantly, know what you're buying and steer clear of those items that are crap. If you can't tell the difference, then you have no business doing the job.

    Engine straps

    They need to use chains bolted through the hull! Doesn't the Coast Guard know anything?

    Engine straps

    For safety sake.....................please stop working on cars! Don't drive cars, they may break and hit something! Don't even look at them, you might hurt your eyes! Don't use straps, they might slip! Don't use bolts through chains, they might strip threads or break! Be sure to wear suspenders and belt so your pants won't fall and expose what you don't have! Just put on you bubble suit and try to survive!
  23. If the other end was opened with a door on it, the wood in the box would fit. One or two pieces at a time.
