2020 bump

I spoke with technician Dave at SEM. FANTASTIC HELPER FYI! Anyhow, the "Sand Free" adhesion promoter is NOT the correct adhesion former :( Now I'll strip the plastic pieces back down using "Denatured Alcohol". Dave recommended SEM XXX Adhesion Promoter. I knew my expectations weren't unreal... just ...

My expectations may be too high but folks have spoke highly of the product. To me, it's not too much to expect for a light contact with a fingernail to scratch off the paint. The paint has now been applied for four days now and still subject to the paint removal by light scratching.

csnailnrun

Non Model T... Hopefully this paint question is allowed? Has anyone used the plastic & vinyl paint supplies offer by year one? I've completed several pieces of plastic to be painted black from original white. I am concerned the paint is poor quality and subject to scratching easily. I'm working on m...

I second this. Thank you Joe

I’m looking for two bolts for the front of this spring accessory. This is bolt replaces the standard perch bolt which must be 5/8 longer. Same diameter of course. Any ideas of where to get a proper fitting bolt? No luck at Fastnal. Maybe someone has the correct bolts for this? Thanks!

csnailnrun

Hoping someone has three extra mirror wedges. If not, I’ll add to a vender order. Thanks!

I wanted to to share a few notes I came across in material from my Great Great Uncle Taylor W. Douglas. The first is a comical statement describing the engine/trans operations followed by a letter from Bruce McCalley. The folder includes my uncle’s check ledger on a legal pad showing purchases as he...

csnailnrun

Thanks Kenny. My expectations were as you mentioned but wanted to get some second opinions. Thanks y’all.

After reading my initial post, it’s confirmation I can’t watch the football game and type a full thought at the same time

What I was trying to ask was the measurable effects on cooling the coolant further with the finned aluminum pipe (or straight and cheaper aluminum pipe) vs my rubber flex hose.

csnailnrun

Is there measureable difference for those using the finned aluminum pipe (or cheap no finned pipe)? I assume there is when using a steal pipe depending on flow of coolant on a non-water pump T. Im using a rubber flex pipe and I’m not concerned with imagine for this hodge podge truck. Just functional...

Dan, would zip tying my Peerless to the T hub accomplish that of a lathe? Clearly a lot slower rotation which may be the required case.

csnailnrun

The glass tube isn't broken. I'll try the options y'all suggested to get the mercury back to the bottom as it should be.
It is a Peerless. I assume the tubes are universal?

csnailnrun

Great feedback everyone.
My large motometer thermo tube is broken. the red (mercury?) fluid is, and has been since I bought it years ago, at the top of the tube. Now that I have the engine built and running, I'd like to have a working meter.

csnailnrun

Count me in as well

csnailnrun

Can the red temp indicator be replaced and purchased? If so, who has these for sale? Thanks!

csnailnrun

What is the purpose of the ball choke vs the air horn choke for these carbs?

csnailnrun

I tried again. If it didn’t go thru, email me at James dot snellen at gmail.com

csnailnrun

Thanks for the reminder on Gene!
I’ve emailed you Chadwick.

I don't have access to those fun toys.
bump.

I’ve a 5V I’m trying to restore and need some help. I’m in need of the needle valve assembly that sits between the fuel bowl and throttle barrel. My barrel plate is broke so I’m in need of that, a throttle arm, and choke spring.
Any help would be much appreciated.

csnailnrun

This was a well running machine! I was lucky to ride with Seth in the spring. Fun and fast!

Those will fit your engine well Hank

I've received help from a couple who are heading down to Nashville

Thank you!

csnailnrun

Messaged ya Hank!

csnailnrun

Can y'all help me get my cut-out wired correctly? Which terminal does the yellow gen wire go to and the black seems to be a ground. The remaining terminal will be for the wire from the loom. I'm running a 6v system with mags and a battery if that helps.

csnailnrun

I plugged in the box size of 31/22/28 and 37lbs on the USPS site and then said the package is too big to ship. worthless usps website.

csnailnrun

I received a shipping quote from Fastenal and they wanted $180.76.

csnailnrun

Great tip Mark!

csnailnrun

Standard clamps do not work for this manifold.
Any other suggestions?

csnailnrun

Who is running a Himico manifold that can share if there is special install hardware? Fine thread hex bolts seem to be ok but the outer portions of the manifold is a similar dimple of a standard manifold. Maybe too innermost where the intake comes up. Any advice?

csnailnrun

csnailnrun

Thanks for all the suggestions y'all. I had it off while I put a new cam and reset the valves. There was a bit of 'gunk' sitting in the bottom of the lower spout. I suspect the cores are quite dirty.

csnailnrun

My '12 radiator needs a good core cleaning... It's too hot too quick

What recommendations do y'all have?
Thank you!

csnailnrun

Still holding out hope. Shipping quotes are coming in at 150 and higher.
Anyone traveling from Northern ILL to KY, TN or Northern OH in the near-ish future?

csnailnrun

Message sent to you Tony. Thanks

csnailnrun

Thanks David. Bob pulled this off a running Tudor he is parting out from this past Monday.

csnailnrun

Checking to see if anyone has summer travels plans to be passing by Bob's Antique Auto outside Chicago towards KY &/or TN? Or Northern OH?

He's a radiator I'd like to pick up without paying an arm and leg in shipping.

csnailnrun

sure I'll take them. Sending e-mail.

csnailnrun

Send them to Nashville.
I'll send you an email

csnailnrun

Send it to Nashville if you still have it.
Email sent Jay

csnailnrun

Thank you!

csnailnrun

Does anyone have his contact info?
Paul, I sent you a message from this post of yours from 11.13.16. If you have these pieces, I'd like to talk to you about buying a set. Thanks!

Email sent Mark.

csnailnrun

I'll need one of your timer tools Gene. I just sent an email your way.

csnailnrun

Thanks everyone for the replies. Steve, the tall core is 18.5 tall by 18.75.
I'll stop and see you Dan at Chickasha and Rick, I'll be in Chickasha Friday when you are close by. I'm sending you a message still.

Anyone coming from near Chaffin's to Chickasha? Before I ship two cams for regrind, I wanted to see if anyone would be making the round trip to where I could swap out two cams from Chaffins and my two as the core charge. Thanks in advance.

The elusive "Eleanor" like Nicholas Cage's Shelby in Gone in 60 Seconds.

csnailnrun

Tony, I sent you an e-mail.
Gene, I'll be purchasing up one of your timer plate adjustment tools.
Brent, are you in need of an A crank?

csnailnrun

I can pick up at Chickasha. Looking for a reliable unit to place into my later 20's work truck. Thanks!

csnailnrun

Didn't you sell this for $61.60 on ebay? I guess the buyer backed out.

csnailnrun

That's cute Michael. Love the cattle and back country!
I've a scrap high radiator but I'll only be as close as Chickasha as I'm in Nashville.

csnailnrun

Sent you an email Tom.

csnailnrun

Thanks Steve.

csnailnrun

I apologize upfront if this is a elementary question but I don't mind asking for the knowledge gained.

Can a truck ruckstell be converted to a car ruckstell?

I have no experience with these units but know there are two different rear ends.
