Is it an inherent problem with the tire design or poor manufacturing quality?

I was watching this video on Jay leno's Garage and noticed at the 19:51 mark that the front passenger tire is wobbling quite a bit. Am I seeing things, is this normal, or is there a problem? Or am I seeing a normal problem? 😄

That’s good to know, I had been advised to get different (proper) cables. I’m assuming red + and black - cables? The ones on there now (definitely not original) are swapped colors.

Any progress is good progress. It’s eating the elephant!

Ok, I’m starting down the path of making her ready for HPOF. I’m looking at Ames for the correct battery cables and these are what come up. What in tarnation?? I’ve never seen cables like that. I’m sure Ames has them correct, but how do they tighten? https://secure.amesperf.com/qilan/Detail_Web?part_num=PM500&order_number_e=NTU5MTEzNQ%3D%3D &web_access=Y

It’s on his keychain. 😀

Maybe Montevideo?

I picked up a small journal 327 Chevy that was missing its main caps, found a set on eBay, had my machine shop line bore it and it all worked perfectly. Those small journal blocks are tough to do a main cap swap on though. They need to search their shop and find your cap. Either they lost it by tossing it in the trash accidentally, lost it by ruining it somehow, or they lost in on someone else’s engine they are building. If none of those three are accurate then it’s probably under one of the machines and they’re just too lazy to bend over and look.

Will do!

Looking like good progress. I know what you mean about aggravating glasses, mine fall off my face every time I bend over. I’ve gotten lucky so far that I haven’t smashed them.

Hmmm, I haven’t been back to Tucson since 96, this might encourage some travel that way. I grew up in Sierra Vista just down the road to the southeast.

I used to live in Tucson (94-96), never knew it was there. How long as it been there?

Your attention to detail is astounding!

That is incredible! I would say a SN that low would put it first year of manufacture.

Sooooo, that is who stole my 1987 JC Whitney catalog....

I do love the Hornets! Yours is gorgeous!

Love it! Thanks for posting it!

It’s gotta be fuel or spark, any idea which? I’m assuming there is no way the timing could have been bumped and gotten out of proper timing, correct?

Yep, I never knew the glass did that. I got to digging, never a good thing when I’m left unattended…. https://sciencing.com/glass-turn-purple-7183982.html

I'm in the aerospace field and the rise of AI / machine learning is moving faster than expected. It is certainly a technology disruption, not sure if it is a good one. Automobiles, washing machines, and even computers are there to help humans do things. In some ways, the development of AI is humans trying to be a godlike entity and I'm not sure we are prepared for what comes out of it.

I haven’t, but there are quite a few YouTube videos of that being done. I have a pair of 48 59A flatheads that I need to remove the studs from and was planning on getting one when I start. I also have the stud puller as well.

Wayne, thanks for the info! I’ve had the same issue, had a bit of an incident years ago in a lab and a Formic Acid spill messing up my lungs. They’re damaged from that and I don’t need to damage them worse. What I may do is get the Caswell stripper kit and give it a shot and post the results. I have their flash copper kit and it works very well. I would get the nickel kit as well and test. I may do that in early March when I have a break.

I have thought about it, I will check on the cost. It may cost more in shipping than the actual work.
