    electric fuel pump

    Some good half answers, but the complete answer is: If you are running fuel injection / computer, then Northstar is totally correct, you need the relay. If your engine is a carb, but just doesn't have a mechanical fuel pump, then you can get by without the relay unless you have a really big...

    Opinions

    I'll go out on a limb and say that MOST fuel filters use a paper element...

    Has anyone tried Dyna Beads?

    I had a terrible shake that two tire shops spin balancing machines failed to balance out a few years back, so on a trip down into Mexico, I stopped once again for balancing. The guys there used an old electric motor with a pulley on it to spin the rears (front drive car), and they used the...

    Restoration / Rebuild Begins

    Steve, We LOVE progress! Thought about you as I gassed up at Fredies in Salem yesterday on the way to Florence. Sorry, rain today for you! (Me too.) Corley

    Importance of Capitalization

    Jim, I've got to agree with you on this one for sure. No teachers in my family, and I was a crappy English student, but it appears some just don't try at all to write properly. My spelling has declined over the years, and my typing gets way behind what my mind is thinking, (resulting in some...

    What kind of wood?

    Thanks Jeff for that suggestion, that's a very good idea. The Automotive clear will surely provide better UV protection than any varnish I could buy. I'm not familure with Khaya, is that a very hard wood? I know they use teak a lot on boats, but I've never worked with that either. When it...

    Bad body placement

    That body placement DOES make the tunnel smaller I suppose, but it looks funny to me...

    What kind of wood?

    I'm about to build a cab top and bed cover for the Model A pickup, and I've decided I'd like to do them using wood. I have in mind a dark wood / light wood look. The problem is, I don't know squat about the different woods available, and what wood would be best for this? Does anyone have any...

    In and out burger

    So what makes a good burger anyway? I think it's toasting the bun, and some cooked onions don't hurt it any. And if it comes with fries that were just cut up from fresh potatoes prior to the oil, all the better. I don't think McD's does any of that... In and out does all of that...

    wheel to body dimension

    The absolute minimum is that it never ever touches. That's really about it.

    Gas Tank Sealer

    Russ, That shutoff is supposed to be mounted right under the tank on the pass side, and since the tank is the cowl, it's very easy to reach from the drivers seat. However, I like your solenoid fix much better. Just makes good sense. I also have a 2.8 60 degree V-6 available, they sound...

    First Car Show with The Up North 26T

    Congrats Tom, on a very successful build! Looking really great in the pix, and obviously one happy driver!

    Gas Tank Sealer

    Ah Russ, you are too lazy to turn the fuel shut off valve? Geez! (Make sure the new valve is 12v!) I'm doing the 215 Aluminum Olds in my T bucket... Stock Model A engine for now in the '29 Pickup. May go to a Chev 4.3/PG in the future. And, Jimmie said, "What about the tetraethyl lead from...

    Gas Tank Sealer

    I'm in the process of salvaging a gas tank. It's actually a Model A tank, but the process is the same for most any old tank, so I'll ask the qustion here. Anyway, I've cleaned it out, first with high pressure water, but of course that does nothing for the areas I can't reach. It has some...

    In and out burger

    A man after my own heart. Rather eat dog food than wait forever. (Well, now I MAY be exagerating.) However, we do go to "In 'n Out" when ever we get near enough to do it. Just can't beat the taste in a burger and fries. (After my quintuple bypass, the Dr told me to stop going there, but I...

    Spring Question for Ted

    Jim, Assuming the axle is contained, (meaning it can't move side to side or front to back) a spring is a spring is a spring, right? Whether it's flat, coiled, torsion bar, or whatever, really doesn't matter as much as it's charactoristics (spring rate, etc.). I think that Ted loves his...

    Two different approaches to building a T sedan...

    Now THAT is certainly a matter of opinion. Good safe design practices, yes, but no to different? Can't buy that one. Different is what makes the world go 'round. If you want all Tbuckets to be exactly the same, we may as well have the Chinese built them for $500. JMHO, CB

    Spring Question for Ted

    Take a look under the back end of a C3 'Vette, and you will see a leaf spring with no shackles, just a bolt through a hole in each end.
