Do not attach to frame, attach to floor sheet metal. JULIANOS STREET ROD PARTS sells under floor mounting hardware that spreads the load to provide better attaxcment bolt and washers. Go to their website and look at lap belt mounting hardware. If your floor is in bad shape you need to address repairing it and attach to new meta lhe theory here is you want to stay with the body rather than having the body passing you by while you are tethered to the frame.

The abovereferenced manual is availble on this site's download section.

The drilling of drums was a practice used by teams preparing for and racing in the Mexican Road Race and in the Carrara pan America when they campaigned heavy fullsize &S cars like Lincoln, Chrysler, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Mercury, Cadillac, etc. Under the theory that brake fade was caused by a layer of gases that were released from the friction material faster than it could be released. This formed a boundry layer opposing full shoe/drum contact at high operating conditions. The holes allowed this entraped gas to vent allowing for proper friction surface contact. They also facilitated cooling and water displacment after stream crossings. This process got shelved when disc brake became available. In he words of Enzo Ferrari " Brakes? Who needs brakes? They just slow you down!!" Dont know if the process made any appreciable improvement for street cars unless you lived in the mountains.

I am in my 47th replay of my 29th year. On the car side been runnung AC45 r gapped at .032 no issues for 50k miles. Stock v volt system,

Usually, the default is the blower running at full speed, and 6v. The resisted settings were probably 3 and 4 v. Mine still works all three speeds. It likes to run a bit at , then switch down. I think you can still buy those old clamped on universal rotary reostat switches but they get very hot if not at full power

There are 2 or three welch plugs on the back end of the block. They are coverd by the bell housing.i think 1 of them is behind the cam supports the rearmost cam bearing the other/s. Are coolant system related. If its a small leak, maybe some medicated goo leak stopper would seal it. If some one had pics of the back end of the block, they might put them up for you too see them. Replacing them is an engine out deal i think. Then another can of worms gets kicked over.

45k and nearly 15 years ago, I set the clearance at .012 intake and .014 4xhaust. Set them dead cold with the rebuilt 56 Plymouth 230 still on the engine still one the The stand. Havent touched them since then. They are getting a little louder than the wife's Singer but I can live with it.

Bumper jack retainer?

I have a plastic syrup (Lego my eggo) squeeze bottle. Usually a squirt or two does the trick. For stubborn situations I put a piece of clear fuel line onto the nozzle and shoot it down the carb vent tube to fill the float chamber/s

Drop the pan. Yup there will probably be sludge and gunk there. As designed, much like the oil in the bottom of an oil bath air filter. Its the entrapment media for carbon, dirt, metal leavings etc. That's why it's at the lowest part of the system below the level of the pick up screen. That's why the pick up has a clip to keep it from going past horizontal and into the goop.

Another expensive vs less expensive illustration. My daughter needed to replace the battery in her 2017 Honda CRV. she called AAA, they said they could deliver one and installation in about 6 hours for about 135 bucks, she called the local Honda dealer, they said about 225 for purchase and install oh oem Honda a dranded battery. She then called Walmart. Everstart was around 90 bucks. She did the no brainer deal, bought he battery. She jumped her car, brought it here. I supervised while she did the install. First thing I said was take off your bracelet. all said and done it's fixed. At Christmas she was telling her story and my brother ( Honda tech for 10, Service manager for 30 years rolled his eyes aut buying the Walmart battery. Did a little digging found out Johnson controls makes both Wal mart and Honda in the US and the Honda branded on is lower rated in cold cranking amps and one other spec.And warentee coverage. When I told my brother, he put his fingers in his ears and did his I can't hear this dance. So shopping and spec reading can do what you need to do, and leave a couple bucks in your pockets.

Not wanting to go all green and tree hugger, but 10 years ago we would have racing on the ice of several regional lakes with ice thickness of 12 to 18 inches starting around the third weekend of Jan. Now the smaller lakes are just skimming over and the two largest are still mostly open water. If I wanted to go racing this weekend I would to travel to small lakes near Lake Placid near the winter Olympics training ffacilities.as of now they are not announcing a location for Saturday and Sunday. So despite the cold weather, climate vlimate is warming. This has been the case for at l4ast 6 or 8 years. And prior to that it was slush racing on a plowed course wouldn't hold up for 2 days of racing,

Did you hear the part where Dodge Training indicated replacement of the water dist tube every 2 years? So maybe waiting 50 to 70 years to service is where the trouble starts about removing them... But back then most folks ran water then added alcohol in the fall so no rust preventative in the mix. When my father was a teen, he and his friends built ICE BOATS. Thing air boats on skis. A couple used small aircraft ft air-cooled engines, but his was Model T powered. He said he used kerosene in the radiator.

Bob you marked y post as the solutions to your issue. Which part?

Some valuable wisdom learned over many years of experience and many trips to training sessions. Run them often, run them hot, run them so they work. parade speed runs to the ice cream store once a week are not doing them any favors.
