  3. Hi don’t know how f your engine has a water pump that has packing on the shaft but I’ll tell you what my 23 was doing the same thing found the packing on the suction side of the pump was pulling in air and in doing so it would not pull the water out of the radiator then there was no place for the afternoon coming water to go only out the over flow short drive it would be out of water. Hope this helps. PS the pump would not leak at the seals when setting for a week or so.

  7. If you lube the springs lower the spring rate there is no longer friction in the . Leaves the spring rate is rated with the friction of each leaf added to the total rate I under stand when they start squeaking there needs some lube as you apply . Grease you give dirt and sand a place to stick now the mixture is like grinding compound

  20. Yes I have the same problem I remember back in the 60/70s G M used a small filter where, the fuel line entered the carburetor that had a small rubber set of mistrust was to keep fuel from draining back should say rubber lips not mistrust Maybe some one could retrofit it as add on My other thought was to install a small tank in the fuel line that would fill when the car was running and close the valve on it still would have pressure in before restarting weeks later open valve fuel would flow to carburetor refilling the float bowl or would it just push it back to the tank Other thought is its the heat that boils the fuel off not the drain back
  21. My first Model A had wiper motor mounted on then windshield frame it was small 2 speed I'm think it was from a foreign car said Lucas on it worked very well
  22. I cast a new seat for a check valve in a power brake unit and machined it very like a valve seat it's been working fine for 15 years. If it should fail you just would had to push harder on the brake pedal I don't drive it hard
  23. I've seen where closest to the correct tire pressure won
