  1. Make sure you have removed the backing plate.
  2. Stock radiator cap is a non-pressure cap so the cooling system is not under pressure.
  3. Have one of the ladles, they are very nice. My wife loves it. Sorry to hear about his passing.
  4. I have a Chicago Pneumatic (from Sears) Impact and socket wrench. Bought them 25+ years ago, still working. I'm a Milwaukee tool fan and I have one of their NiCad 18 volt impact guns and it has been a disappointment, just doesn't have enough torque. If I was getting a new one the IR 231 mentioned earlier looks pretty good.
  5. Your location would be helpful. You can make one pretty easily with a dial indicator. Read this: http://p15-d24.com/page/p15d24/tech/brakes.html/ Also remember part of the process is making sure you drums have been turned and are true.
  6. man Actually I did answer it: "It started that way then everyone figured they could post pictures anytime and just ignore the rules". I originally allowed externally posted photos. And to Brent's point a lot of members don't really get the whole external posting concept. Most individual hosting packages also provide some space for storing pic on a server but many don't understand the technical steps needed. Instead, I made a decision early on to pay for some storage to make it easy for members to add pic to threads. I think it was the correct idea, but I'm always getting request for more space to post on threads. Their is a third party package that would allow me to set up a ebay like classified area, including payment management. Just seems like a lot of work for little return and the possibility of a lot of headaches.
  7. It started that way then everyone figured they could post pictures anytime and just ignore the rules. The whole classified section has been problematic over the years because people expect me to manage ads, delete old ads, get in the middle of their business deals when they go sideways. I've gotten some pretty nasty emails from people who were mad cause they followed up on an old ad and the product was no longer available. And it burns resources and time and the site gets zero revenue from the exercise. If I could figure out an easy way to make ads with a charge, I then would allow pics and links and make it more of a real business transaction.
  8. Yep, working now! ?
  9. ?❤️?
  10. Drive it everyday? Then it would be unusual. Occasional driving is hard on batteries, invest in a smart trickle charger like Battery Tender. I've also had much better luck with Optima batteries, usually seeing 10 plus years of service while keeping them maintained on a trickle charger.
  11. Works ok for me, both ways. Please try a different browser and report back.
  12. This has been a bumpy upgrade day today ;-(
  13. Yep, it's broken. Submitting a bug report right now.
  14. Let me try.. If you use the smiley icon in the toolbar you should have around 500 or more. Let's see if this works.
  15. Email notification are now working correctly! And we got the post counter in threads working again! (The little number to the right that identifies the number of posts in the thread. For example this post will be #3. )
  16. Everything looks good except the Links Directory isn't displaying correctly. This is a third party add on and the publisher has an update already out to correct the issue so it should be fixed later today. Let me know if you see any other unusual behavior.
  17. They get cached locally on your computer. Does improve readability in deleting them from quoted sections.
  18. Cause I end up paying for the bandwidth consumed and some abuse the privilege. By abusing I mean using this site to host their images for other things like craiglist ads or ebay listing.
  19. http://p15-d24.com/page/p15d24/tech/heat_riser_adviser.html/
  20. Should be able to have separate, I'll take a look.
  21. Don't think the radio is stock, seems to me the volume and tuning dial were vertical.
  22. The advance is under the distributor plate. Make sure both springs are attached and the weights are free to move outboard as it is spun. To check, disconnect the vacuum advance and plug the carb side. Then with a timing light bring the engine up in rpm checking the timing with the gun. Here are the number for a D24, your should be similar but you should check your manual. You can do a similar check with the vacuum advance using a vacuum gun. I've found if the advances aren't working correctly the car will fell like it can get out of it's own way and top speed will be lower.
  23. Check the centrifugal advance on the distributor?
  24. Yeah, but it is a nice looking model and when finished will be really nice.
