Semmerling Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Every time I see one of Keith's videos I am struck by the amount of time he takes to help everybody out. I have gone through as many as I can find and folks, there are literally hours upon hours spent on these. Seriously, they are excellent and I for one have learned allot. Just getting a single clean take can take more time than most of us spend before we slide on our backs under our Stanley Steamers to light the boiler after watching "the other guys" video, I miss that car and the shop.... Well I watched one of the many videos Keith did on adjusting the valves and he said something that really struck me as profound. He said it fast.....but I heard it and slide the slider back to hear it again......"a wooden dowl works best"....and then it hit me hard...time to make a contribution.. Now its not ready for SHARK TANK, but its damn close and I only used it three times and wont need it again in my lifetime but.....here it is. If I was doing a video, well I would say "When the hands stop waving, its TDC baby!" Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face and sure beats those taped chop sticks I used at first (I will get them out....at least as many as I can.) It will probably piss off a speed boat or an airplane mechanic, wood=no corrosion or galling....but I'm not done with the design yet (its sitting in brine right now.) And don 't thank me....thank Keith! I'll keep you all posted, my first meeting with MOPAR4$$$$$ is a sure bet...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Dude, thanks. That made my day. Nice tool! Lol. If a video I made, helps educate and inspire you, my time was worth it. Flathead Mopars shall live on! Get ‘em out of the garage or barn and onto the roads for all to see and enjoy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booger Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 A big shout out to Keith and all the contributors here who keep us less skilled mopar lovers on the road! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt den Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 i used his brake tool and videos. brakes are better adjusted than ever. no pulling, smooth stops. i was initially having trouble using it, but he gave me some instruction and i finally got it right. the tool is very simple. you can make it yourself, but it is worth buy ing his, supporting him and the time he takes to help us all out. i was sorry to see him sell his 53.

Dansk Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 One of Keiths video's just saved me today. I was trying to remove my manifolds with the engine in the car and they wouldn't budge. His top end video showed that there is an additional bolt in the center accessed from underneath and you cannot see it from the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to want to read the thread I did here... you want the tool as you can waste way too much time putting that very same not back on....
