Make sure you have the correct cap and tuneup parts for your distributor number. Caps are different depending on which one you have . Order parts using distributor number from a reputable seller. If the cap is too tall a weak or no spark condition can occur.

Although Keith’s is most likely right about the end result I have helped my neighbor start rebuilds he did by pushing the car with my truck up to about 15 mph or so and gently letting the clutch out in second or third gear. Always started and one I know of ran for several years afterward without trouble until rust reclaimed it.

Shhhh. They are hoping you don’t know that.

Really looks great.

Cleaned mine 18 years ago in prep for POR15 treatment. Wasn't really too bad mostly surface rust and a modest amount of grease on the front end. Hardest part was the old partly loose original undercoating. Car came out of northern Wisconsin and not even really rusted. Like most mine never sees snow except through the garage window. Rain does not bother me as much as it does dry. Still it rarely goes out in it.

My older water pump I replaced years ago had one but the NAPA replacement did not. Newer model I suspect

Oh, sadly no experience with that. Wish I could be more helpful

My brother-in- law used to say just run the paint to the bottom and cut off the drips with a razor blade.

A lot of people over carborate and end up with very poor low end performance until the engine revs up. Unless you are spending a lot of time at high rpms and near full throttle you might be disappointed with the engine. Often times for street use a progressive set up works better as it does not tend to flood everything at slower speeds. And don’t forget manifold heating as it is necessary unless you are only driving in a warm dry environment to ensure gas turning into a vapor not staying a liquid. Used to see that in ancient times when everything was carborated and folks would put the biggest carb they could fit on a engine and not understand why the car ran like crap.

Wonder what I wanted to say here?

As always Frank, you sure can find them!

Not quite sure what you mean. Like mounted on a bumper? The ones they use on rally cars or off road trucks?

Now to find either a Saab 96 3 cylinder or a Geo Metro and away you go.

I have seen brush painted cars that really looked good at 10 feet or so. A good painter can really minimize visible strokes. And about vacuum painters. The very first cars I was involved in painting with my late Brother-in Law (paint and body man) we used a low pressure spray system similar to this but of course it was 40 years ago. https://www.bosch-diy.com/gb/en/p/pfs-3000-2-0603207100-v35498 It really did a pretty good job considering and we used it several times until we got enough money to buy a compressor and some real equiptment. My 83 Cavalier looked like a refrigerator with all the orange peel. We rented it from a Rental place near my house.

Depends on what you are trying to paint. And how you important the end result is to you. Big area of coverage, or small area? For a big area a gun is best as you can control amount of paint and adjust spray fan. Smaller item can be covered easier with a can. Another thing is that spray cans tend to spray dry, that is less thinning agent . They tend to hit and stick not flow together . Not impossible to do, but harder to get a good job especially on big areas. With a gun you can adjust the amount of thinner to suit your needs. Makes it easier(after you get used to it) to do a more in depth shinier looking job with more consistent coverage.

Farm and Fleet oil for mine. And everything else s well. Never a problem oil related. For years.(40 years)

I have had the same problem ever since I got my 52. Crunchy shifts into second unless done slowly or trans hot. I put it down to a worn syncro. Will replace with Redline and try.Thanks for the idea.

And one thing Corporations do not like is unpredictability. Safe and steady secures the work and the future. Despite most being mainly concerned with tomorrow's stock prices.

I managed to break one on my 52 Plymouth many years ago and I simply welded it back together and it has worked ever since.

Wonder which one they are bragging about? Japan or Mexico.

Nice that the rules don't specify which grocery store you have to go to.

Looks like the”Jitneys” I have seen photos of from the Phillipines.

I would stabilize it from rust and replace any really bad parts, make it safe to drive and use it as a summer driver. In my opinion more fun that way, If someone bumps it you don't have a heart attack.

This guy had ones I needed for my 52. http://www.fatfenderedrelics.com/stainlesstrim.html
