  1. The valve inside the filter only bypasses the filter material if the whole thing is plugged up. You won't leave it on there that long, will you? It would take years.
  2. I thought I heard heavy breathing on here.
  3. I think its a tiny little ring of hard fiber, maybe red colored. Should be in the rebuild kit. It goes at the bottom of the hole, put the piston down on top of it.
  4. Norm, stop kidding yourself, if you didn't want it, you wouldn't have stopped in the first place. Buy it, play with it, if you don't like it, ( hahahaha), sell it. you can't go wrong. Just be honest with yourself. Let us know when you bring it home.
  5. When I mentioned this topic to my wife, she said "go get your wedding suit out of the closet". Its white wool and was new in 1956. Spose I should get a picture of it, because there's no way I can get into it.
  6. Possibly the rattling is the brake and/or its mounts and not the drum?
  7. Check for free movement of the power piston. Vaccuum has to be able to pull it down easily. Its gotta be able to move easily and yet be tight enough so that the vaccuum will not leak by it.
  8. How can we tell a 57-59 head from earlier ones? Is there a number to look for?
  9. Dog? what dog?
  10. What whitewall?
  11. Here's another old-timers trick that works, sometimes. Remove the battery and quickly short the terminals with a jack handle or some other heavy metal bar until its dead. Then recharge it. People that do it say it heats the plates up so much and so fast that they throw off the built up crud. I look at it as something to try just before I go buy a new battery. BTW, I bought a new group 1 6 volt at TSC on sale for $31 last month. That kinda makes all this dangerous stuff a waste of time.
  12. Fortunately for you all, I don't have any pictures of myself.
  13. I think I found it when I was googling p-15.
  14. Would you sell by the foot, or by the pound?
  15. Have you tried a different guage? You could plumb one in any hole on the gallery just to check the accuracy of your dash guage.
  16. I recall someone on here used older Mustang brakes on the rear with very little work. I think he redrilled the backing plate mount holes and changed the outer edge to avoid hitting the drum edge?
  17. In the front, they WILL hit the tie rod ends.
  18. I have quite a little pile of nozzles of all different types. When I empty a can I just pull off the nozzle and toss it in with the rest. That way I can always have one that works. Of course, that sort of explains the condition of my garage, too.
  19. How did we get from restoring a 36 Chevy to this?
  20. Sorry, but it won't do you any good unless you retired from U S Steel as a United Steelworker Union member.
  21. Anthem BC-BS. It is paid for by my retirement fund along with a co-pay from me. The pills are $4.50 each.
  22. Mine too, insurance co. pays for the pills.
  23. According to Yahoo news this morning, Fiat will buy 35% of Chrysler. I hear a faint spinning noise in the ground.
  24. I think an appropriate answer would have been " none of your damn business." But then I noticed that my postings are getting grumpier all the time. Possibly its the winter effect mentioned elsewhere, but definitely has a lot to do with age. Still, I don't think its anybodys business how another person can afford anything. See? There I go again.
  25. I guess I'm the only one that sees the humor in that price. It's not a convertible or a wagon, or even a business coupe. Its got the wrong wheel covers and the tint ,IMHO, does nothing for it. I can see half that price, if its perfect, NOS, with no miles, but twenty grand for a four door sedan? Is $20,000 the new $10,000 ? Well, I am part Scottish.
