Ed. Not sure if its Brazillian. Did find these ten TDs for sale on the samba. Interesting thing is someone has an ad for [WTB] and above that person’s ad there are at least 4 TDs for sale. What’s up with that?

First semester tuition already paid Ray.Pretty sure Syracuse isn’t offering refunds!

Back from car show. Only found one, BEAT UP, rectangular vent. Sorry.

Rear wheel bearing is replaced  not with out problems. I was thinking my drive train was no older than 1967. The wheel bearing i ordered was good from 1950-1967, the next one coverd 1968 to 1979 according to nappa .  Removed the bearing the number on the bearing  was for 1968-1979

Paul just remember you got to start some where  Or  you could tell that young lady of yours she will have to wait on collage a few years . I know not happening ,I got told the same thing .

Thanks for all the help guys.  Sorry I was slow to respond but I’ve been doing body work and starting to do some priming.  Hard to tear away.Paul, I’ll head to HomeDepot or Ace and see if I can find what I need there.Thanks all.

Geez…I guess that is some proof of value, at least as far as asking prices.The one I found on Hemmings has an asking price of $50k.The one Ray posted is listed at $48k.I think I’ll just go back into the garage and work on the two old cars I already have!

Thanks Montie!And to everyone else, save your money and spend it on your trip to Carlisle in 2013.Even better, save your money and buy my drinks at Carlisle in 2013!:PWe have about $200 “on account.”The annual host fee was $99 last September. I imagine it will be similar this year.

Allen,If you find them, Rocky will need four, not two……if his car was built per Classic Roadsters specs.

Paul, just sent a my donation, let me know if you run short. Thanks for all you do. Montie

Paul here you go a good humor truck for sale ,

  have fun

Scott

how is your project coming along ,Also I was wondering what you thought of the interlux paint that you used ?

Rocky I’ll be at a VW show tomorrow with a lot of vendors and I’ll keep an eye out for 1-inch round vents. If I see any, I’ll pick you up a pair.

And still is! 😎

Thanks guys. Good ideas.Yes Ed, I’ve been all over the rubber bits.I think the bicycle pump will win the day, at least for now.Shoot some cleaner in from both ends, then tape the bike pump to the gas line.

Thanks George. Yes, Rocky and I have Duchesses. And he’s trying to replace the one inch round vents.Rocky, I’m pretty convinced the MG Magic vents are not correct for our cars.

got a bicycle pump?

I used PORs Marine Clean squirted into the fuel tube of my 74 Ghia. Let it sit for about an hour and then blew it out with my air compressor. As you don’t have an air compressor, perhaps use some carb cleaner with the power bleeder like Ed suggested. That sounds like it’ll work.

It was.:-)

brake line power bleeder? Or maybe a turkey baster and a bit of hose?Also, did you check the bit of fuel line that runs along the top of the transaxle? There was about a 6-inch length of hose on mine that just about disintegrated last year.
