Your old car will look GREAT with a digital plate!
Larry Schramm replied to Crusty Trucker's topic in General Discussion
Agree. Just because you can does not mean you should. -
No. It will normally just erase any error codes in the different modules if there are any. If the problem is still there when reconnected the codes will return. I remove all of the batteries in our cars that we store for the winter and have done it for years. Keep the batteries indoors and rotate a trickle charger on them over the winter.

Were you using the size of the bolt head for the torque? Like 9/16" to get the 120 ft/lbs? If you did, that might be your problem. I believe that the chart that states GENERAL STUD TORQUE means the diameter of the bolt shaft. ??

I have found the solution to perfectly clear windows
Larry Schramm replied to JonW's topic in Technical
My solution to cleaning windshields is two fold. On the outside of the glass/windshield use BonAmi cleaner. It will not scratch. At one time it actually had a General Motors part number. It will clean about everything that will come off the windshield. For the inside of the windows, the best method is to use any good glass cleaner with newspaper. Spray the glass then wad up a piece of newspaper and wipe the window clean. No cloth material needed. Just the newspaper. Works great to get the "fog" off the glass. Don't laugh, try it. -
Period images to relieve some of the stress
Larry Schramm replied to Walt G's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
Translation of text. Gathered in the gardens of the Russian Embassy, the French and Russian deputies meet at a reception organized in honor of the members of the Duma who have come to France. The military governor of Paris arrives aboard his Panhard et Levassor Sans Soupape automobile. -

How can I get VIN tags restored? 1949 Ford F-1
Larry Schramm replied to Angelfish's topic in Technical
I talked to him last month. He is still around. -
Is the distributor the type that you can move by it's self? I think it probably is. If it were mine, I would start the car with a vacuum gauge hooked up to the intake. Turn the distributor adding in advance until it starts to drop off from maximum. I would then back off the timing to just before you reached maximum vacuum. This is with the spark lever fully retarded. Go drive the car and see how it preforms. Is there any spark knock? If not that is where I would leave it. This is way that adjusted timing on cars in the 60's & 70's before there was electronic ignition. Never had a problem. Just my 2cents.

That was an interesting read.

We were there a couple of years ago. It was a good stop and worth the time.

The tour that we went on last week was the Red Flag Tour headquartered out of Mt. Pleasant Iowa. We went on this tour last year for the first time and really enjoyed the location and the people so we signed up to go again. The first day we drove over 135 miles. Great drive with gently rolling hills and sections with tree canopies. Parts of the drive was on dirt roads which with a 100+year old car almost magically transports you back 100 years. Very enjoyable time. Besides seeing a lot of corn and soybean fields we got to go to some scenic drives along the Mississippi River. One of the highlights of this tour was to visit the house where the painting American Gothic painted by Grant Wood was inspired. It was a fun time for all that came. Then to just have some fun and good for a few laughs........ Then off to the next stop. One thing that we learned at this stop was that the woman in the picture was not the farmers wife, but his daughter. That completed our over 1,000 miles for month. The only issue we had was the coil died on the first day. Replaced the coil and all was good in river city. PS: Saw Terry Wiegands car and it is extremely nice.
