  1. I am in the process of putting together a write-up on refurbishing Pilot-House 6V wiper motors, as these are not too difficult but there are a few details that can be frustrating if overlooked. Of note is a leather seal on the gearbox that takes some skill and patience to replace, as well as indexing the crank arms, re-soldering the electrical connections, and replacing critical rubber grommets...stay tuned...
  2. I saw this pop up on the FB recently, and was interested to see that oil filter element inspection was a thing at service stations back in the day. I remember Grandma's '87 Diplomat stating to replace the oil filter at least once a year, and to change the oil at least once every 5000 miles...so I reckon the annual oil filter change was a thing for awhile, before the industry shifted to the play-it-safe mentality of change your oil and filter every 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first.

  14. About the only things that can be done with that water pump is to rotate the hub to see if the bearings rotate smoothly; the pump body can also be filled with water with the ports sealed off temporarily with duct tape or the like to check if the pump shaft seal is leaky.
