Never mind, I figured it out. Thanks for looking.
Had my carb refurbished on my '51 Roadmaster and wasn't paying attention to the electrical hook up on my stater switch. When I got my carb back from the rebuilder, the wires and the quick disconnect...
Need some advice. I have a Bob's supplied copper clad Intake/Exhaust manifold gasket and does any one have any recommendations on whether to use any type of sealing material to reduce the risk of...
put in the disc brake setup from Kanter's?
it goes on in two pieces with the forward end on the body on going around the forward corners 4-5" and then the rest goes on the trunk lid with about a 2-3" overlap on each side.
a great paper. Thanks Pat. I'll have to study it. Now, the only qestion is; what is is the design cSt flow rate for a 320 straight eight? Hmmm.
in for paint as well. Can't wait to get her back. Going to be Sky Grey over Sharon Green just like it was when she left the factory.
Well, the '51 is almost out of the paint shop and I have bought all the rubber seals from Steele. I've also purchased the the body manual that Steele offers for my car. I have to admit that the...
I've seen some references in here about using Rotella and Delo Diesel oil in these old girls. Can anyone direct me to any technical papers that recommend the use of these oils? TIA.
OK, I have found a heater core and now I am going to route hoses to it. I have ordered and received the hose support brackets from Bob's. My question is: where do the brackets go?
This is a dead horse item I'm sure but, here goes. The heat riser valve has stuck partially open and I have tried heat, lube and working the valve and can't seem to get it to move. Bob's has the...
http://www.bobsautomobilia.com/. http://www.kanter.com/. Both places have parts. Good luck with your project. I've got a '51 Riviera that I drive and are restoring.
My defroster core started leaking on my '51 Roadmaster so I bypassed the core. Anyone see a problem with this until I get the core fixed?
Well, I got my new shocks from Kanter's and new links from Bob's. My question is: the hole in the arm on the shock is oversized for the pin on the link. I've already shipped the cores off so I...
It was $200. It's the bar on either side of the "straight eight" that wraps around the front fender above the bumper and in my case the right side. The one I got from a wrecking yard was dented and...
Some of probably know this already but, I just got back from Paul's Chrome a grille extension bar for my '51 and it is exquisite, beautiful and all the rest of the superlatives. Highly recommended.
What do you guys use for oil when changing the rear end oil?
I took it all back apart. Low and behold that there was some old gasket material still on the head. Put it back together and purrs like a kitten. Yee haw, back on the road!!!!
Well my newly rebuilt 320 in my '51 Roadmaster developed an exhuast leak. I bought a copper clad manifold gasket from Bob's and replaced it. Trouble is that it leaks worse now than with the composite...
Well, got her out of the shop yesterday. Must say she runs pretty good.
So, the engine is in all painted up lookin good. Just waiting for the radiator to get back from the shop after a re-build. Should get it fired up this week. Next up-paint. It's going to be the...
Well, my newly rebuilt 320 is going back in as I write. Do I have to tell how expensive the rebuild was? Anyway, my question is: Break in. How long before the first oil change etc. etc.
What do you want for it?
of the '51-'52 floor heater installation would be appreciated.
