How about a spelling test?

That's the best offer I've had in a long time.I will let you know.

Only on the bottom...

I'll be back up there on Monday morning... Would have been good to see you again for sure.

Nice paint job.

zzz Rust never sleeps.

If memory serves correctly, you should jack up the car under the lower a arm so the suspension is loaded, then check for free play, preferable with a pry bar under the tire. I forget what the allowable movement is. 1/8" to 1/4" or so. Like Todd said- don't confuse wheel bearing play with the kingpin. And if they don't take grease (Like Jerry said) you can usually heat them up to coax the grease in. Personally, I wouldn't change them unless they were real bad. When I was a kid, my first car was a 48 Plymouth that needed king pins. If I hit a bump, the front would start to shimmy so I would hit the next available pot hole and that would usually knock it back in line. Then I put my snow tires on the front. That worked well enough until I got my next car. The next opportunity I got to do kingpins, was on my 1952 Dodge pickup and what a pita that was. One side was fairly easy and the other, busted my chops.

Get hubcaps like these;

Couple more.

Not mine. Saw this one on my way to town.

Sweet!

If you were to drive in reverse the same distance you drive forward, it should keep the hubcap centered on the valve stem.

This isn't my truck but what a great shot.

I remember working on a Dodge Super Bee way back when, it had a 4 lobe distributor with two sets of points and unfortunately, that is all I remember about it.

This is how I did it. Wack the vice grips with a mallet.

P.O.R.-15 or equivalent.

You could try the H.A.M.B. for 'hot rod' stuff. www.jalopyjournal.com

When installing new points, remember to put a dab of grease (about the size of a match head) on the wear block of the points.

Nice boat.

Sweet! You could buy me one also...

I also cant delete some stuff either, like that last attached file...sorry about the title of that last post/link. Thanks Tod

There was a TV show that did a history lesson on Mr Midgley a while back. I can't find it but it was on some dark sounding TV series and it was very informative. Even if I could find it, I can't post a link like Don and all you cool guy's can.

Hell of a legacy; Midgley "had more (negative) impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history."

At what RPM is your idle set?

Thank you Mr Thomas Midgley Jr.
