  1. It was a 36 Ford coupe. Ward told Wally to get rid of it. Wally and his friends tore it apart, then Wally got the idea of selling off the parts and made more money than he paid for it. All the while Ward didn't know what Wally had done and asked a junk man to take it away, but when the junk man came and found all the parts missing Ward would have to pay the junk man to haul it away, Wally comes home and sees what is happening and tells Ward what he did and the money he made so Ward takes some of the money to pay the junk man and Wally gets to keep the rest. >being pushed in the Cleavers driveway by Lumpy's 40 Ford Paying off the junk man Ward looking astounded!
  2. Won't do any good. They don't want any Carbon emissions and methane is a mixture of carbon and hydrogen. In fact, I just don't know what they are going to do about people and animals in general. Not only do we exhale carbon dioxide, but we also sometimes give off a little methane. Cows are really good at a lot of methane!
  3. The puppets generally will be gone but the puppeteers will be around.
  4. 1965 Pontiac without A/C 1965 Pontiac with A/C;
  5. As in the picture I show above the 57 has the new type of dispenser. I found that dispenser in my 1959 Pontiac accessory book and it's the new type. That accessory in 1959 cost $6.00, and as I mentioned before this accessory book states that the dispenser cannot be installed on cars with Air Conditioning.
  6. 1965 Pontiac 1961 below; Note that these tissue dispensers will not work on A/C cars because of the lower bi-level ducting Another one in a 57; And in a 56, however the early ones have the Indian head in the circle. I do know for a fact Bunkie Knudsen (Pontiac General Manager of Pontiac Mid 1956-the end of 1961 and oversaw the 1962 models) tried to remove all references of Indian image. Corporate legal said there must have at least one Indian head image, and so from 57 onwards the Indian head appears in the high beam indicator light. I don't know when this ended but my 1963 Pontiac has it and my 69 does not. Knudsen also to removed the silver streaks from the 57's nearly before production began and replaced them with the side spear.
  7. Here is another angle. If you call California Pontiac Restorations 1 714 245 9800 with that part #, Rich over there can look up its application.
  8. Sorry guys, just not into tissue dispensers but I concur with rocketraider. Contact Charles Coker in the Pontiac section as he is a POCI tech advisor (pontiac1953).
  9. You should see some of the 61-2 Plymouth pre-production styling exercises. It's no wonder they got rid of Vergil.
  10. Thought the very same thing, then I moved to Arizona. I have a 2019 truck that is white and a 2012 car that is black (black really makes that car-richer looking than ANY other color that was offered. Put the car and truck next to each other in the mid-day sun and start taking temperature readings on the paint. Now you know why white is the dominate color out here. However, I really like this car;
  11. That gray/tan colored sludge can also be attributed to a clogged-up road draft system, or a clogged up PCV system. f.f.jones,What I don't know is "What EXACTLY is stop and go driving?". f.f. jones, did you try to look it up?? at the touch of your fingers on the computer. Definition of stop-and-go : of, relating to, or involving frequent stopsespecially : controlled or regulated by traffic lightsstop-and-go driving
  12. what do you think you'd see more of on an AACA showfield? A real Rocket!
  13. Yes! and this one came up in the general section this morning; Email from AACA? "Important member history requested" According to what is being asked of us it should be in the Forum Questions and Answers
  14. Long ago I realized that Frank, that's why I don't go to the site. Often times other Marque sites don't follow the rules.
  15. If anyone who wants to post something about a certain "make" of car has to go to that specific site. The General section has rules that "make" specific sites do not. I remember a modified Buick Riv. in the General section being sent to the Buick site. This is good because it's a modified car. I usually don't go to specific "make" sites because it has modified cars. I want to be at AACA, not Jalopy Journal. If all the different "makes" are going to specific sites, the General section will have about as much traffic as memorabilia, toys, etc.
  16. Frank, does the BuickCA have their own web site and forum like Pontiac fans have POCI and Ames Performance Engineering? I think that's why the Pontiac participation here is so low.
  17. John, you nailed it, inconsistency. Think of the topics raised in the General section which really should be in another place in the Antique Automobile Discussion Forums. A great many questions in the General section are technical in nature which should be in the technical section, still others, on the other side of the coin are a post about a modified car, which have no place in any of the antique automobile discussion forums and should be put in a make section. And yet many prevail while others get the boot. The other problem is, if you post in the proper section the post is generally dead-on arrival. All Pete has to do now is figure out how to herd ALL the cats consistently and objectively.

  19. If the road draft system is maintained like I outlined in my thread above, the oil will be just as clean. If you change to a PCV system, the redirected harmful crankcase vapors consisting of water, acids, sulfur will now be ingested by your engine which effect carburetor mixture and leave nasty deposits on the back of your valves. If the vehicle was converted, it would probably be Type 1 or the open type of system that was used on cars from 1961-1967 which take in fresh air from the breathers which flow around the crankcase and lifter/pushrod or valve spring valve stem area of a flathead to the PVC valve to intake manifold to be burned. Type 2 systems are a closed system which would consist of a small intake filter located inside the air cleaner to a hose to the valve cover where the air circulates thru ought the crankcase and a PVC valve and hose to the intake manifold. NOTE: When a type 1 or type 2 system were added by the factory when new, the factory recalibrated the mixture for the idle circuit and the cruise circuits. Type2>
  20. The only way to tell for sure is to fully charge the battery and then perform a load test.
  21. Charles is right, and I prefer even more upright. I also prefer the tube to be cut at a 45-degree angle. I prefer the cut to be like on this Buick below, The front of the car is to the left of the screen. Make sure your oil filler / fill breathers scoop on the left-hand side of the engine is turned toward the engine fan to pressurize the system. It's supposed to be indexed to the pipe. The one below is off just a little, see below, The reason some of these Pontiac tubes are not cut at a 45-degree angle is because they are swept back. Being swept back or cut at a 45-degree angle cause a low-pressure area on the back side of the tube that sucks out crankcase vapors. With the engine fan pushing air into the breather cap cup, the system is called the Pressure-Suction crankcase devise. The road draft tube is only a part (the suction part) of the system. FYI, the breather filter (wire mesh) and the road draft tube filter must be cleaned every oil change with kerosene or mineral spirits and allowed to dry, then they must be filled up with motor oil and turned upside down and be allowed to drip dry of oil. Why the oil? the oil clings to the cleaned wire mesh inside and traps and cleans the air flowing through the engine.
