Buick35

On TMC I'm watching an old Cary Grant movie "monkey bussiness", lots of old cars and a 51 Ford at a dealer for 750 bucks.

I bought a wheel at Hershey and as soon as I got back home I dropped it off at the powder coated and still haven't gotten it back yet! I hope by Christmas since its a present. They said hopefully this week but this week's come and gone.

I don't believe heat is the issue.I'll recheck the timing.Thanks

Thanks, but I have dual carburetors with no choke or electrical wires.

Like the title says.It's best described as a comedians rim shot after a one liner. It's not really running on.Could it be timing?Thanks

Dose the fuel pump have the glass bowl type filter? My 35 has that plus another glass bowl type before the carb.and an in line filter by the gas tank. Always run non ethanol gas.So far so good. I installed a new accelerator pump a year ago and rebuilt my fuel pump.Runs good now. Mines a 41 series sedan,what's your friends?

I wonder what the front seat is like under that cover.I think it would look better with a white top.

A 69 Karmen Ghia of my son's with an air suspension,trying to get the leaks fixed and then on to the electrical stuff.

I know it's been said before but if I had more storage and if it were closer I might dip into my I.R.A. I don't think I'd restore it,just get it running.I wonder if there's a front seat cushion?Seems like all the cool cars are on Facebook which I'm not a member.

I've decided to keep my MG since its running really well now, but if someone really wants to trade Im listening. Happy Thanksgiving.

I worked at a helicopter repair shop/school and we had some students from Ireland in training. One day everyone in the hangar heard a loud boom.It turned out that a student hooked up a battery charger to a 12 volt battery,the problem was that it was set for 24 volts. No one got hurt luckily.

Ever feel like you're the star of a Three Stooges movie when working on an old car?

Did she grow up in Stratford?

I'm starting to think that working on an old car is causing me to become bipolar. I'm very depressed when my efforts fail to fix a problem and super ecstatic when it works out!

Just listed on Space coast Florida's craigslist 70,000 miles and the air still works.Seats look rough. "Got me a Chrysler as big as a whale".

What is the red spot inside the glass? Would you take $20? Maybe I can try to lower the pressure a little or hook it up to a gauge and see what it's putting out.I tried one of those Chineese made pancake type one but I couldn't get it below 3. I like the looks of yours. If so is a money order o.k? Shipping would be to Florida 32927.Thanks,Greg.

As says possible treat? Halloween's over.

Can silicone brake fluid be added to regular brake ?

I tried one like that and hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to it and couldn't to go lower than 3.5 or so,everyone on a v.w. forum said that my kadrone carbs. shouldnt get more than 2.5. It's not running bad though without one. Maby I should just go with it or try another regulator.

Could a regular brass or steel fuel shut off valve be used to regulate fuel pressure? Seems it would be cheaper than a regular one. Just curious.Thanks

The second electric fuel pump works well but the pressure regulator I bought,not so good.I can't get it below 3p.s.i. and I heard it should run around 2. I bought a cheap one that I thought would work.

Is ethanol gas o.k.to use in a air cooled v.w.?

I pulled the sending unit on top of the tank to have a look and since the car was jacked up on one side there wasn't any fuel in the line to the pump.Duh!

I did but I will again.

I got under the car enough today to remove the electric pump and tested from a gas can and battery charger and it didn't work so I exchanged it for another one which I tested before I installed it and it works! Only question I have is on the gas hose going from the bottom of the tank to the pump I unhooked it from the old pump and no gas ran out.There is some gas in the tank,probably less than a gallon. Shouldn't it run out? I hope the new pump will have enough suction to pull the gas through it.My tank is vented.The fitting in the bottom of the tank makes a 45 degree bend and then goes down to the pump.I don't know, wish me luck.Thanks,Greg.
