  1. We have a Potter trunk that the original owner said it was on his 1937 Chevrolet coupe. The Green Potter decal is still inside. 38 inches wide, 12 inches deep, sorry I don't have the height here tonight. Question is: What other applications would this trunk be compatible with? I believe it is too wide for a Model A Ford. Is there a book or listing for these trunks? intimeold
  2. Frank DuVal I guess I should proof read my posts. Thank You for catching that
  3. On a Ford in the late 60's and 70's always look at the serial number or engine tag. The 1969 Ford Mustang should have the 250 cu in . But I worked at Ford in the years this car was produced. And the 200 cu in was available in 1970 along with the 250 cu in. But, and there is always a But, in production Dates of some Ford engines. These engines are so similar that, depending what engine they had at the factory on the specific day, the car was made; that is what the car got. I remember seeing the 302 V8 with 289 cylinder heads, 289 was cast into the cylinder heads. You may have a late production 1969, that got a 200 cu in. Not a big deal at all, those engines all worked pretty much the same. The 170/200/250 engine is a great engine. It is so simple to work on. We did a fair amount of valve jobs on these back in the day; and always check the valve guide clearance, as the guides had a tendency to get enlarged or just worn out. We were starting to see the effects of less lead in gasoline back then. Later engines had harder valves and better valve guides. Head gasket surface and cylinder block deck surface should be checked also, any time the head is taken off. The cast iron heads and block are very durable but a machine shop can true them up, with a moderate cost. You can do the job at home in the driveway; but spend a few $$ and take the head to an automotive machine shop. Why skimp and not be sure if the guides are good or the deck surface won't hold a good head gasket properly. And don't even try this job without a torque wrench. You have a good engine there, treat the repair seriously and that engine will out live you. intimeold
  4. Thank You, for all the members here; on identifying the dog dish hubcaps. And super fast replies. oh yea, everybody has a little detail difference or so; but I had no idea of what they are. Thanks again intimeold
  5. Keiser, Thank you, you got it I just searched ebay, for the 57-58 Plymouth hubcaps, and saw one seller, listing them as 1957-58-and 59, Is there something to that? I am just asking, I don't know
  6. I have had this set of dog-dish hubcaps for many years; but just stumbled upon them again today. I don't know what they fit. the first 2 pics are setting on a ruler, the left side starts at zero. in the last pic the rectangles look black, they are Not black, that is a camera shadow Thank You, in advance. For any ideas.
  7. I have aligning studs for installing transmissions and intakes and such. But in the pic you submitted, notice the rounded/slightly pointed end compared to the original poster's pic. In the original poster pic, you can clearly see the squared off and knurled. An aligning stud would look like your pic. That knurling is a way to get a good finger/hand grip on the tool. The original poster's pic is not an aligning stud. Sorry
  8. This is the handle for various seal drivers or light bushings. Usually seal driver Different sized drivers would be screwed onto this handle' then with a preferably soft hammer, you would drive the seal in. In a new tool kit, you would get maybe 2-3 different length handles like this and a whole array of different sized attachments to fit different tools. Each attachment was for a specific seal size or shape. intimeold
  9. Yea, that # 5 question , could have been asked in a better way
  10. Somebody, did a nice job on the coupe, very handsome car. The fender footstep is a mystery, it does show up on a Chrysler though intimeold
  11. Yes a bead breaker. But that handle is not the proper size. It does not even fit the head. I still have a bead breaker, i little bit heavier that this one with a short handle; but the original owner was a very short person, too. And mine had a big rubber end on the back, for pounding the tire bead back onto the rim intimeold
  12. That is a beautiful automobile; and looking at what we can see in the pics, a very capable chassis. Wish you all the luck in the world, find a new home for it. intimeold
  13. Maybe we all should wear a tie, when we adjust the valves, or do anything under the rocker cover.
  14. That Grover Traction Truck, seems to be hauling scrap cast-iron. That would be a very heavy load.
  15. You have the shotgun now. Great Very nice gun and a good story
