  1. Saying 'Frisco" does not sit well with the Bay area residents
  2. like Sniper said, You can try replacing vibrator tube and that may very well solve the radio prob, chances are caps are toast. Thankfully I still have a AM station around me that plays oldies. its worth the restoration
  3. I ran into the same problem I grabbed a 3.54 off Ebay thinking it would be an ez swap. Turns our the pumpkin on my 49 was an 11 bolt carrier and not a 10 bolt. you would think the main gear would be interchangeable but this is over my paygrade
  4. those lil plug sandblasterers were common in the mechanics bay of our full service gas station. The pump jockeys were not allowed in that service bay. The 2 full time mechanics grumpy as **** (unless you brought them coffee).
  5. Voltage Reg? Tapping on cover would sometimes open points in wet weather
  6. Im gonna throw this out there. The ball cap visor does it distract from the nice lines? I often wondered does Booger need the Ballcap?
  7. not sure wtf that was. (the leaf springie thingie) Was that to lower it to butt drag? Fixable. I love the slow backs and yours is unique.
  8. once you do locate them on the harmonic balancer mark zero with a white paint pen. I would also make + 2 and -2
  9. lots of Desotos there or T&Cs Thats Playland at the Beach on the Great Highway or Ocean Beach. Wheres James hes a SF lad? He would recognize that
  10. Ive done both. Stock rims fine for bias tire. Modern rims for radial tire, When I priced new steel rims were about the same as a Cragar knock offs. And Im sure the 70 year old rims are fine as long as you dont drive crazy like Sniper?
  11. No but looking for something I dont have to rebuild every couple years No but looking for something I dont have to rebuild every couple years
  12. Ball and Ball carbs can be dependable but have their quirks. Mikes Carbs has a 1 barrel generic replacement out there. feedback please
  13. you sir have some stones! what a fantastic trip. Im sure the Cranny had some looks. Man I love Italy!
  14. snug up those mounting nuts to manifold
  15. they do not like corn gas. but float adjustment seems to be at fault. thanks to professor Sniper. I plan on rebuilding a DH1 over the winter just to have a spare handy
  16. moral of the story ethnanol gas eats up stuff
  17. Accelerator pump plunger gasket replace om B&B D6. YES!
  18. The accelerator pump plunger ring has been known to dry out with the ethenol gas. Hope its the first and not the later. Last I looked 40# of vacuum
  19. o boy here we go, you gotta new friend Sniper! Welcome to the Forum dude. good vibes to all you peeps in Fl.
  20. A flatspot from the stop sign on giddyup... AKK! something in carb? (B&B D6 or whatever) . Filter isnt old. Spray it down with carb cleaner. Nope. Put on backup carb. Same same ...Timing?
  21. you can get white lithium in a cartridge for your grease gun. made for water applications, marine etc
  22. Ok makes sense in SF!.As a young lad driving around the City in my VW bus. could always smell burning clutches. Glad I dont live on Lombard
