Hudsons of that era had 308 c.i. flathead six. It was the biggest thing they had. "Twin H Power had dual 2 bbls.

I've never seen gasket under that part, but,,,,,, a long time ago I used to put plastic electrical tape on the backside of the chrome trim strips to keep water from getting under them and thru the clip mount holes. By accident, it also kept the trim from scratching he paint when I popped it back on.

All straight sixes, too

Its just not that hard. Theres no magic involved. Put all the supprt rods in the headliner and start at one end putting the rods in their holes. You can see where it will needs pulling forward or backwards by how tight it is between the rods. Center the fabric on the rods as you go along putting the rods up. After all the rods are up and you ha pulled the fabric to center it, you will see how it attaches along the edges. Again, start at one end an work both sides alternately until you reach the other end. Do not trim any excess material until you are satisfied with the tautness and alignment of the material. It's just a case of "on the job training". You CAN do it. It aint rocket science.

I had a '60 Olds that wouldn't start hot sometimes. It turned out to be a hardened coating of lead oxide on the negative battery post. I fought with that car for a long time and couldn't believe that was the problem. But it was.

I guess I'm just obssessing since I learned the hard way about using heavier guage wire for 6 volts. Thanks for the reassurance.

As far as creepy goes, a name like "Mcfeely" is way to creepy. Especially around kids.

Thank you.

Am I worrying needlessly, or hose awfully light guage wires for 6 volts?

I strongly agree. Meeting other forum members is more like meeting a friend than an internet date. When I met Greg this spring, it was as if I had already met him somewere else. Now when I read his posts, I can just about hear him, so get out there and put some life in yor forum experience.

I'm betting 46 to 48 Mopar.

Why would they name their tires after a dog?

48 P-15, stock wheels. 235/75-15 in the back, 205/70-15 in the front.

It definitely has a high gear for road use. The show was at a suburb of Ft. Wayne called New Haven. Maumee Valley Steam Assc., I think.

I know its too late, but I just realized that the mc you're looking for is whats on my '97 LeSabre and my granddaughters '02 Bonneville. Theres gotta be millions of those out there.

I saw this at a steam show near Ft. Wayne Thursday. It's a 1938 Minneapolis-Moline tractor made to be driven on the road when needed. For people that couldn't afford a tractor and a car.

You did a good deed for me, too. I saved your poste picture to print my own post cards fom it. Thanks much!

Is there gas in the tank?

Once again, a trip to the hardware store to pick thru the O rings.

Hey look, factory turn signals ! Well right, anyway.

Well, hey Reg,, I hope you had a Happy Birthday. You're just about as old as my car! Hope you don't smoke or leak as bad !!

I hae 225-75s on 4 1/2 wheels. They work alright, but it is a little funny looking. I don't think I would go any bigger and probably shouldn't be doing what I am.

I gotta go with Don and Bigjohn. Its not a car at all, its a collection of parts. Don't list it at all.

First one I eve saw!

It does matter which side of the coil that the tach wire is connected to. It must be connected to the positive side, the wire going to the distributor.
