We're alright. From Snopes: Trolls are creating fake tweets about looting There are a bunch of social media posts of varying virality claiming to show evidence of widespread looting in Houston after Harvey. At least some of these tweets are obvious trolls — particularly those using the hashtag #HarveyLootCrew. As Motherboard explained, trolls have previously used #BaltimoreLootCrew and #SandyLootCrew to try and make fake posts about looting go viral during major news events.

All of those roads are closed.

That's the deluxe wheel, Mud. Can't help ya, Bill I have an NOS emblem from a standard wheel, but have never even seen one up close.

Willie is closer to the mess than I am. The wind is relatively calm here, but it has been steadily raining for almost 24 hours. I have spoken with some friends in Houston who are more concerned. I bet that building could be bought for a song. I know a song...

I may have to look at this old garage in Galveston if it is still standing next week

There is a big part of your problem. Old bias ply tires ride rough and wander even more than new ones.

How old are the Remington tires? I'm guessing not recent vintage.

There is zero reason to tow an ugly trailer behind an old car.

Another very important difference that I noticed between European and American drivers is that Europeans know what lane you are supposed to DRIVE in and which lane you are supposed to PASS in. Driving with patience, civility and courtesy is rare to see.

Have you called Steele Rubber? They might be who Russ sends em to.

Wow, it's about time somebody put the black knob on those.

I am way too much of a princess to want to camp. I heart hotels. BUT, I love that Shasta. I have restored two full size Spartan trailers and a few smaller ones, but would love to have a new trailer.

I may have some parts. I'm not in town right now

So good, Bernie had to write it twice.

I'm guessing something with the float (needle / seat) not refilling the primary portion of the carburetor IF it started on its own without filling the carb (fuel pump filled it). Or clogged line. Again, if you put gas in the carb to start it and run the 100 yards, that is what the car will run on with just the fuel in the bowl.

All of the repro pedals are the same. My 55 originally came with a 54 pedal which was way shorter than the replacement I found later. What a difference that made! The angle shouldn't be a big deal. I think they split the difference. Let me put it this way... I have personally never had an issue with any of the pedals I have installed and I would conservatively estimate that at 10. Edit: After reading this again, it may not have been a 54. It was shaped like earlier rounded pedals and didn't work properly. Just so I don't get grief that 54-55 pedals were the same height...

...and zero snark intended, William. If you don't know what the second half of the fuel pump does, please put the tools down until you buy a shop manual. In my opinion, that box is a fire waiting to happen and I would remove it.

I gotta disagree on the braided steel, B. I've never seen an original with anything other than rubber.

The first thing you need to do is purchase a shop manual from eBay.

They can track down YOM plates easily. I have never had any "problems" but I did receive a toll fee in the mail due to a similar mistake. Willie will be fine, but his frugal nature will be irked at the extra $1.

It will have one rubber hose between the metal fuel line and the fuel pump, but more likely, the carb needs a solid cleaning / minor rebuild.

I used a 401 bracket on my wagon before I made this one. I don't remember what I had to modify, but it was minimal. I think I actually made the bracket taller after the one pictured to provide better geometry for fan belt adjustment. I HATE the one that Centreville sells for 401 engines. It is giant and gaudy. I wanted to minimize the engine compartment intrusion. I also decided only to use one of the crossover studs as a mount in case I ever sold them to other peeps who would definitely at least have that one stud, so that it was a "one stop shop" kinda thing. It is 4 1/2" from crossover to right bolt hole. I am attaching another pic of the last one I had made up with a slotted Hole on the left side for a little more tensioning options. PS, I have one of these left without the slotted adjuster, and that is my final "run"

Nope. I initially wanted to make a rear bracket, but there is literally no shaking and once you bolt it, you can't move it with your hands. It's made out of 3/16" steel. My prototype was bent in my vice with a big ass hammer and a Bosch electric jigsaw. Nothing fancy.
