I use a general purpose ( drum brake bearing grease) on link drives. White lithium on cables. Dennis

Hello West, Call Jim's Battery 1-800-426-7580. He bought Antique Auto Battery. The Zephyr logo does not appear on their website, but I just called them and it's still available. I just bought a Lincoln block letter battery from them. They are an Optima sealed inside the reproduction housing and are said to be non-replaceable. We'll figure that out when the time comes. The logo is not colored and up to you. I have plenty of yellow "one shot" enamel left. I opted for acrylic ink that seems to adhere quite well. Hope this helps. Dennis

Allen, You looking for rollers or street? Dennis

Hello Matt, I'm sure you're not the only forum member waiting for their first SJ. Welcome to the forums. You should find friendly members who share the passion. Dennis

I don’t mind using sticky red or synthetics on suspension parts but I would caution against using it for wheel bearings . This is all high temp / disc brake grease. Much higher temps than you will ever reach with drum brakes or no front brakes. This grease will not become semi-fluid or flow at the lower temperatures of our old cars. Drum brake and general purpose is Ok. A case where cheaper is better. Dennis

I have tried repeatedly to contact Hornets' Nest and Charlotte via e- mail.

Beautiful car. I have a 52 Hornet sedan with 41k miles. Desert sand with ivory top. The 52 Hornet was my first car. All maroon. Thanks for sharing. Dennis

https://www.charlotte-autofair.com Hello, I thought about posting this in meets and tours but thought, this may bring more comments. We are considering vending at Charlotte this spring but have never attended. I'm not concerned about sales or such. More interested in the whole experience. Are there predominately prewar parts? We travel in a 28' motorhome and would intend to stay on grounds. Issues? My companions are not all retired, so this is our vacation. We like to choose wisely. Bottom line is: fun to be had or look elsewhere. Never been there, Dennis

Jon, You're the best. Exactly what I need. Thanks for your time. Dennis

1911 Buick model 26 Although my question is generic to ALL model G Stromberg's. Thanks, Dennis

Hello, I am working on a Stromberg model G Carburetor. I am unable to locate schematics or adjustment procedures. It appears to have an upper and lower adjustment on the air valve. There is no needle for what appears to be the low speed jet. I am confused as to how to adjust this carb. Maybe Jon can come to my rescue? Can anybody else help? Thanks, Dennis

John, I can’t tell from the photo. Are there two of them? Each side of the main. Regardless you better get that sharpie mark off of your wife’s tablecloth Dennis

Too many cars, I sent you a pm. Dennis

Hello Dale, Can you measure the centerline of the mounting bolts? I may be able to adapt this until I find the correct one. I will call you later. Thanks, Dennis

Thank you viv for the info. The search continues. I will pull the existing shell this weekend to determine if repair is an option. Doesn't look promising. Dennis

Hey Bob, Did she know you were smart as well???

I'm with you Layden, I didn't set this car up and just trying to get some major sorting done before we sharpen it up. Thanks Mark, No binding or alignment issues that I can see. Inconsistent, but when it works, it works well and the car typically fires up. Thanks guys, Dennis

Hello Viv, The shell is on the car but has had some previous damage or rust at the bottom of the surround. Someone has "bubble gum welded" on a piece of sheet metal. I may be able to repair it, but it would have been much easier, if I had gotten there first. Serial number on the title is FP841W. I will check the Fedco tomorrow. Thanks, Dennis

Not sure, I have been told by several folks that it will not work dimensionally. Art had a model 58 that was earlier and evidently had different mounting. Dennis

Hello, Working on an 11 Buick with impulse coupler on the mag. The impulse (click) is not consistent. Any ideas on why this might be? Trying to avoid complete disassembly. Thanks, Dennis

Thanks Viv, Jay had a shell. Wrong one. Still looking. Thanks for the help. Dennis

Thanks guys, Jay is checking for availability. Is the spacing different between models or do the 4-cylinder cars have various spacing? Dennis

Hello, Looking for a radiator shell for above model. good restorable or driver quality OK. I have no info as to other models that might be the same. If you're a Chrysler guy, please chime in so I may expand the search. Thanks, Dennis

Can anybody help with this? Check your practice shelf. Thanks Dennis
