  1. So hello again, I was wondering if anyone could help me out? The car has pretty much new brake stuff all around except for master cylinder which a new one was included with the car, sometimes when driving in a parking lot or at slower speeds when you come to a stop one of the rear brakes will lock up and stay locked up with a full hard brake pedal until I crawl under and bleed the pressure off at bleeder screw, the guy that I got it from said he just put new shoes and wheel cylinder on that wheel and I can see it has a new rubber brake line as well, he said the shoes may not be centering and it was causing the wheel to lock up, does that should like something that can happen? or is it most likely the master cylinder bypass/relief stopped up? can I unstop it on car? or do I need to pull it and replace with new one? the trans plate is so rusty that removing it is going to be fun, I found a replacement cover on eBay for $100.00 and guess I will order one to replace it while replacing master cylinder. And once again thanks for any information.
  2. I have been going back and forth about the red wheels, I drove it about 100 miles yesterday and the old bias plys sure make for an "interesting" drive on the small two lane curvy road I live on lol, if I plan to drive this car the way I usually drive my old cars I really need to put radials on it and I will most likely paint the wheels black at that time, I do like the whitewalls but when I priced new radial whitewalls I almost had a heart attack (would be my second) lol At the suggestion of a friend I did use some quick detailer on the entire car to get rid of the white chalkiness on the paint and now its a darker grey And I fabbed up an air cleaner from parts from the hardware store ?
  3. I just changed oil yesterday, the NapaGold 1080 is the right filter with the right gasket for the filter housing, my Napa had it in stock
  4. I live in the country and always dealing with mice, my Chihuahua is a great mouser, we keep a running tally on the whiteboard lol
  5. I just ordered a 1080 from local Napa and will be picking it up tomorrow, I am hoping it would have the proper size gasket Today also reminded me I was out of floor dry ?
  6. Well the oil change went well ? lol The NAPA 1010 oil filter canister does not come with proper size gasket for the oil filter housing so I tied to reuse the old one... It went very well, I started it and made sure oil pressure came up and were no leaks when idling, then when I backed it off ramps it must have started leaking, now to source a new gasket or make one I guess.
  7. I started looking into the Turn Signals today, it has a Grote 966-4 and I have been searching for a wiring diagram online with no luck so far, anyone know how to wire this model up? Thanks Okay after digging around in old school bus forum I discovered that Red-Left side turn Green- Right side turn Yellow - Flasher Black - Flasher So I am wondering which wire goes to load and which to pilot on flasher
  8. I have a Jackery Explorer that I use for events so I'll just use it as it will last for days
  9. Thanks for the info, it does have the right battery cables, the guy I bought it from has a few 6 volt cars and he put new ones on it. I did manage to get new 6 volt LEDS working on tail and brake lights, now to tackle front marker and turns
  10. I am not completely sold on the red wheels on this thing yet, at least they are faded and old, the funny thing is I just bought a new set of wheels for my daily driver and guess what color they are? lol
  11. Keith, thanks, I will definitely check out your YouTube channel and subscribe After I get this car sorted and make sure its going to run out well I plan to pull the pan and see if it has already been cleaned up or clean it all and run a modern oil Yeah I bought a brake light switch for a 1950 something Ford at local shop and it works fine, I also ran new wire to the switch and from the switch to the lights and grounded the housings individually to the trunk, I received some 6-volt non polarity LED bulbs in the mail today but if they don't work I bought a dozen 6-volt dual element bulbs at Napa for $.63 each I am used to 6-volt negative ground systems on old Volkswagens and they work pretty well, but its so easy and cheap to convert the Volkswagens over most people already have, This one starts well just bump the key, it does crank a little slow when it gets hot but it has started so far. I have been wondering about a converter to un GPS but did not know if it would work with the positive ground system I see you are in Canada, thats where I usually am this time of year, I spend a lot of time in Nova Scotia and work in Newfoundland a few months each year, but this year Covid has me home and off work since March
  12. So I just went back and re read this thread, today I bought Lubrication oil instead of motor oil...if only I had paid more attention to Greg lol I'll be honest I have not been fond of red wheels on hotrod/classic cars, these are kind of growing on me but I am thinking about painting them black with the chrome trim rings, what do you guys think?
  13. I'm going to need a bigger garage, I'm used to working on Volkswagens
  14. The entire car is dry, the trans inspection plate is really rusty but I found those for sale, there is a small rust hole (about 1 1/2 inch big) in drivers rear floorboard, no rust on body, rockers doors etc It spent its life in Arizona, so that may be why, it would not look like this if it spent 70 years in Kentucky
