  1. So ugly that they're cute. Good little cars.
  2. They do feel like they are disconnected through almost all of their travel. I think he's confused.
  3. The selector lever will rotate a long way, but you will only feel resistance at the end of its travel. When you think it's at its max travel, push it harder and you will feel it pushing against a spring. This is it's only useful travel. When the selector lever just touches the spring resistance, the shift link rod should be in neutral. Adjust the linkage to connect to the the column lever with both levers in neutral. Then when you pull back on the column lever the selector lever will move to the first/reverse position. When you let go of the column lever, the selector lever will spring back to second/high position.
  4. But it works. 10mm = 3/8 by the same margin. I use what I can reach without crawling out from under.
  5. Indeed, the panel is flat on the ends. The center hump is perfectly straight vertically. Any vertical curve is damage.
  6. I just looked at mine and the is no curve in the vertical sides that meet the fenders nor any curve in the center, top to bottom. If yours are curved, they need to be straightened.
  7. Correction, Pontiac/Oldsmobile.
  8. The ribs on the head are a little Packard-like.
  9. Excellent. That's the best answer I've ever gotten. Thank you.
  10. I need to know what part of the water pump is being lubricated by the coolant. The coolant cannot reach the bearings without destroying them. So, what is the lubricant for?
  11. Those are great pictures ! Thanks for posting.
  12. My avatar is my other toy. A 1976 Wartburg 353 deluxe. One of seven know in this country, one of three not in museums. Powered by a three cylinder, two cycle, water-cooled engine, makes about fifty hp. from .998 l. Four speed trans, column shifted, freewheeling on all speeds. Curb wt. 1998 lbs, moves about quite smartly. Dual system disc brakes in front, rear drums proportion adjusted by vehicle load.
  13. They ain't rare! I got one here, too.
  14. A serious fire hazard. Plastic fuel line is unsuitable for use on anything bigger than a weed whacker.
  15. Did you see that grin? OD-ing on fun.
  16. All two door Rolls Royce have had front opening doors for about eight years, or more.
