Why is it there?

on this topic, what is the tap size of the hole on the end of the starter shaft?

Loosening the starter worked. New bendix spring ordered. Shaft looks straight. Thanks for the help

Very good advice. Hope to try loosening the starter screws a little to to see if slight movement will free it. If not, bendix comes off

Tried rocking before pulling the cover. is there another method?

Motor kicked back a bit when starting, now won't turn over (sounds like it's trying). Battery, switch, power to starter seems ok. is the bendix jammed into the flywheel?

So the forum occasionally mentions shorting sparkplugs to the head to see the effect of losing that cylinder. Is there any risk to the coils by doing this?

So the rear intake manifold seal is compromised. Is what's there a one piece gasket? Refurbishing that would mean exhaust manifold would have to come off too.

Good advice. When reassembling the plug inserts to the gland assemblies on the head, about how much torque?

Will check both. Thanks

Not my best post. Plugs are in order. Yellow tag is firewall

It's out! Had to thin down the box end of the wrench. Parts on order from langs to convert it back to thermosiphon. Suprisingly, whoever installed the pump didn't also put in a thermostat

Thanks to all

1st thing- I am always apperecitave and amazed by the help here. I will try all the suggestions. The pump seized, so I think it gets binned.

Thanks

How to remove that nut under the horn bracket?

Yes, reason for buying may differ, but they are keeping them in circulation. And hopefully not turning them into hotrods

Took Jake for his checkup

Still for Sale?

It took me a good 30 seconds!

Thanks to all for the good advice

Any consensus on a 6' 2" tall person fitting a 1920-22 dr's coupe or centerdoor? Headroom?

I've been looking online at a car out of state. The vehicle has a PA title with a number C10,xxx,xxx (x's added for your protection!). I know from looking at other postings that Canadian cars have the C prefix, but I didn't think they went into the millions. The car is in storage with an estate situ...
