  1. It looks like the more expensive models had another visor. The 4-44 visor just looks lower cost.
  2. Here is a link with that picture in it and lots of others. You still can't read it. Just 1926 Auburn 4-44, sedan and touring. http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/oldcarandtruckads/Others/
  3. !926 It would be worth more with the original 4 cylinder engine. Even though it would be under powered. Worth much more.
  4. I liked the Pickers. heres a couple clips, first an Auburn, then Nash-Healeys
  5. the car was the 29 madame x correct it's a 30 hood that is what Fred Fischer wanted when he ordered the car for himself he liked the 30 hood better This car now resides at Legends in Springville, UT.
  6. What happened to the one on the Pickers show?
  7. The dump would charge me 50 cents per foot to dispose of florescent tubes. I have many 4 foot tubes to get rid of, maybe 20. So that would be $40.
  8. 1991 Buick Reatta, 13,500 miles, $18,500. For more information call or email Mark Hoover: cell 765-215-3978 ; email- mahooves@hotmail.com
  9. 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta that won the 2018 Pebble Beach Best of Show, Howard Koby
  10. As I ride shotgun, Howard talks aloud about how he’s searching for the best spots. One pro trick: Watch in the rear-view mirror for the best scenic backdrops, and then pull over and walk back to set up your photos. “I look for pan shots and shots where they’re making curves, getting the ocean in the background,” he explained. “And we’re looking for locations without telephone poles in the background.” Pan shots, he noted, are crucial when shooting an action event such as the tour. “As a car sweeps by, you follow the car with the camera and shoot at somewhat of a slow shutter speed to blur out the background and get the wheels spinning,” Howard said. “It’s important to get the wheels spinning. If you shoot too fast, it’s going to freeze the wheels and the car’s going to look static. “When you pan shoot, you have to shoot no faster than 250th of a second. Usually at 125, the wheels are spinning quite nicely.” Since the fog hasn’t let up, Howard said he needs to make adjustments for the subdued lighting. “It’s overcast gray so we’re going to bump the ASA up,” he said. “I’m going to bump it up to 640 so I can shoot high speed. This Nikon camera shoots up to 10 frames per second, so we’ll see what we can get.” Oh yeah, Howard came well-equipped for this assignment. He calls his camera “the Big Gun.” “It’s a Nikon V500 with a zoom lens of 28 to 300 zoom,” he noted. “So I have everything covered with this lens.” Shooting the Pebble Beach Tour: here’s how a seasoned pro does it
  11. The '73 is much better than the newer ones with the sloping front fenders.
  12. Is it just oiling the hinges that needs to be done? I got to drive some new Chevy trucks at work in the late 1970's and there never seemed to be any issue closing the hood. I imagine it's old rusty hinges.
  13. Very interesting stuff. I think you are finding the impeller needs to be more forward, so this lessens the gap between the front of the impeller blades and the housing. I think if the gap is lessened it can build pressure easier. It's like the space between the impeller and the stationary diffuser in my water well pump. It is the small gap between the impeller and the stationary structure it rides in where pressure can build. I don't think you want the impeller floating, or moving back and forth in the direction of the axis of the shaft. Don't let it float to find it's optimal position. Move it forward and fix it into position, but whatever that optimal position is who knows. Anyway I was thinking Ed was right, I would expect it to pump anyway even if the impeller not positioned quite right. But now I am thinking that too far back, and too much gap between the front of the impeller and the housing may have been the problem.
  14. Must be redwood siding, otherwise it'd be rotted. My garage looks like that on the south side. Put some of this oil finish on it, or linseed oil, before painting.
  15. If you watch the video it's very funny. Auctioneer says "it's all under the hood that you'll be looking at" meaning the value is in the high performance engine. But they don't actually lift the hood while it is on the auction block. They this guy does "look under the hood" but without raising it.
  16. Lot # T94 The seller will cover $1500 for hood replacement plus painting. It was bent in the staging area.
  17. And the impeller turns clockwise if you are looking at it in the direction of the water inlet flow. And the impeller blades have a ring around them around their outside tips, and that ring would be on the back side, again if viewing it in the direction of the inlet flow water. In other words viewing it from right to left in the diagram on top. Impeller highlighted in blue, and housing in red. You see there is not too much gap between the impeller blades and the housing. But I don't see how you could go wrong assembling this thing.
  18. Yes I am definitely inclined to agree. But the $444.65 price from the dealer really put me off, like they were taking their customers for suckers. And Denso was unavailable otherwise, not on Rock Auto or parts stores. And the other parts I was finding had names I did not recognize, and I was wanting them to say, "built to meet or exceed OEM specifications" but they did not say that. The IAC is a sophisticated part, with a small metal valve actuated by a solenoid, and apparently a temperature sensor. Apparently the Denso is harder to find because my vehicle is 20 years old. I find that had to believe. There are so many on the road. And many Toyota 4 cylinder models use the same IAC. So why is RA not selling a Denso for $200? On the Toyota Forum this is the response I got: Mike6024 said: ↑ Because the Ebay one probaly has <25% chance to work out of the box and last more than a week and the OE one has >99% chance to work and last the rest of the life of the vehicle.
