You can purchase 2" soft copper in 50Ft rolls in type L and type K so bending or rolling is much easier, type L will have blue printing and Type K will be Green. K is very heavy.

It looks like you may need to remove the hogshead and get the correct mag ring which will require removing the engine.

Put a short hook on a piece of coat hanger then pull the reflector out ,pulling in several places around it and it will come out, then remove the small cotter pin and turn the adjusting screw until it won't turn anymore and pull the socket out, it may take some pliers.

Wear gloves as those things can bite.

You need one square inch of free area of outside air for each 1000 btuh of input, you should also have a vented system if possible, I use a 18000 btuh infrared vent free radiant heater with a fan it keeps my oversize two car garage as warm as I need it, it is mounted 6.5 ft above the floor, it has a...

Tip-Top Timers in Spokane are the producers of the Anderson style timer, you could send it to them for repair.

The key phrase is "old" I am almost 80 and I know of several others in this age group, ailments and other things keep us off the forum, I didn't post for almost two years because of knee problems. I removed the engine from my 24 to repair a loose rod and changed the cam. a friend came over and helpe...

Use type "L" copper it is a heavier wall it is also called refrigeration copper and use a flare fitting instead of a compression ferrule it wont crack. Think about your air conditioner or refrigerator running for years with high pressure up to 600 psi and add the compressor vibration and pulsing and...

I used a piece of 1/2" plywood on the back of the seat on my 26 coupe, I painted it and attached it to the package shelf with a couple of angle brackets, the battery is in a battery box mounted to the floor, I have a wood floor instead of the sheet metal.

Gary, I have the timing tool that is made by TW Timers and you are welcome to use it, I am in Farragut just off the Pellissippi Pkw. it is a great tool to set the timing.I have the bending tools also, the Ford timer settings are different so you may be off.

Rick

Good to see you posting again Sue.

That is the same one I have on my 24 Fordor, I had to remove it and weld it as one of the horizontal pieces was broken, I did it with the body off which makes it easier, there should be holes on the top of the frame for to mount it, 1/4" if I remember right.

Good luck

Rick

This is a great tour with a lot to see, be ready for some very rough roads they will loosen every bolt and screw on your car and dust, there is a car wash in town across from the DQ.

Rick

Use large fender washers they will keep the brackets tight, I have closed cars and use them every time I get in the car, I would be leary of seat belts in a touring or roadster, if it makes you feel better install them, I don't think with six body to frame bolts the body will come off if yo get hit ...

The gasket for the cap is called a Mack Basin washer.

Great video you all were lucky, George usually finds really dusty roads,you can't see the cars in front or behind, but it looks like a great tour.

Your Garmin GPS will work fine on six volts, just use the lighter plug that came with the unit and it will work fine, I transfer mine from my car or truck to the T with no problem, they run on 2.5 volts and the plug takes care of dropping the voltage.

How did they tow the cars back in the day ?, there are still some wreckers around.

Rick

Bill, 50/50 is correct.

Rick

Lang's has these new in their catalog.

I use a torque wrench extension which is similar to a crow foot wrench to get the two bolts under the firewall, I purchased it from McMaster-Carr.

This is interesting information, I have four U&J Carbs that were built by Stan, because of a knee issue, knee replacement and three additional surgeries I have been down for all of 18 and most of this year, I did get the engine back together, I removed a new Stipe .250 cam and installed a .280, I wa...

No snow here in the southland yet but we have rain, 5.5 " last Saturday, 13.5 for the month. TVA is spilling 3.5 Trillion gallons a second from the dams , this is water held to reduce flooding on the Ohio and Mississippi, they are forecasting another 1-2" this weekend.

I had two T's in the garage and we had a hail storm, very large hail, it destroyed the wife's car, so she got a new car and I rented a storage space and the t's were stored there.

Rick

Never , Here hold my beer!
