"The common thread is most of you guys are nuts. " Everybody is nuts to some degree, we have just refined it. Besides, it makes life so much easier.

OK, figure this, My daughter-in-law tried it and scored 60% Dixie. She was raised in Connersville Indiana . Thats where her father is from and her mother is from Scarbourough England. We did have a good time with it, its a fun test.

I have done the definitive test for running 6 volt horns on 12 volts. They love it! The pair I am using now was on a 92 Dodge for 5 1/2 years before I moved them in 1998 to a 97 Buick. I use them regularly and even for weddings. They are as dependible as any other P-15 part. They must be wired with #10 wire from the original relay which is excited by a splice from the cars horn wire. Polarity is not a consideration. Before that, I used P-15 horns on an 87 olds and a 76 Newport, but I don't know if it was the same pair I am using now. The point is, they work perfectly, continuously, dependibly, and boy, are they loud!

I don't think that test is worth much. I scored 44% yankee even though I have never lived anywhere but northern Indiana.

The gal on the right is a hostage?

Who cares if we end up off topic, I find the thread fascinating. This is stuff I could never learn otherwise. Please continue.

The "R" in the tire size, 205R75 means radial. If it doesn't have an R, its bias. I think.
-
Tubeless tires became standard on new cars about 1957, I think. They were all bias plys then.

We used to call those "Tennessee air brakes". Anybody else ever heard that?

I am using a pair of fronts from a 53 on my 48. I was told it wouldn't work, but it does. I got them in a yard in daho and put them in my luggage to fly home. Everything stopped at the terminal when they x-rayed them and wouldn't let me near them to open the bag and show them what they were. It seems on the x-ray, they look exactly like claymore mines. After much explaining, they opened them very carefully and them let it go, but they were very unhappy with me.

Apparently, Big Foot lives and he is a Canadian !

These are pictures of an engine that was rebuilt, but i have no idea how many miles are on it. I scraped quite a bit of carbon off the piston tops, so it has been used, and it did have a filter on it. I was so surprised at how clean it was that I took these pictures last summer when I was playing with it.

I never saw a guy play a fiddle left handed before. That was really wierd looking. -
Am I remembering right that "fat man" was the name of the a-bomb that dropped on Hiroshima? If so, why would I remember that?

Don't forget Homer and Jethro. If you don't know who they are, you need to know. -
Not sure, but I don't think the drain holes are big enough to pass a keeper.
-
Ususally, if a keeper is missing, the spring retainer will look crooked instead of level. Like Tim said, they have probably been laying there since the last guy was in there. For your sake, I hope so.

That carb looks like its off a Chevy 6. 12 volt idle stop solenoid and electric choke heater. Also a bowl vent hose to the charcoal canister. Looks like a PCV hose plugged there also. It looks like something I would do rather than spend money and do it right.

I don't see a problem with that neck belt as most people around here drive without a brain anyway!
-
Turn signal arm?
-
Looks like you'll need a lot of braces. That thing would shake the top off of a little one barrel.

It's good to hear you're on the mend. You might try some "Mopar Therapy" where you go tinkering whenever you want. All your friends want to help you, even the four-wheeled ones.

Blame it on moose and squirrel.

Paint those "letters" red and use them. I'll bet most people that see them won't know they don't say anything, let alone realize they are supposed to. The oddity value is great.

You're thinking of Under the Bleachers, by Seymor Butts. Are you guys sure you wanna start this?
