Stephen,
How to describe sound with words… how about enhanced VW? Slightly louder than a stock VW, but a much nicer sound. Certainly not overbearing. Not sure it factors into your equation, but more info better than less … this was on a 1776 VW engine.
Top down, just a nice burble from the rear. Top up, seems the roof acts like a megaphone,…[Read more]

The Airline was a special built in the 1930’s on PA and PB chassis. 41 original cars were built so this is a fairly rare but strikingly beautiful car.

Thanks for your reply. It forced me to look elsewhere for the source of the squeaking. I discovered that the wheel bearings were the problem. They needed to be tightened. Quiet now.

At times when going up a fairly steep hill in 4th gear with two people in the car, it will kick out of gear. It also happened once while in 3rd gear. I don’t remember it happening when I was alone. Just having the extra weight it does it o…[Read more]

Have you thought about getting a hard start relay? They are really easy to install and they are like 15 bucks.

I have the Muir book, and I found a procedure to adjust my carb on Rob and Daves site. It runs ok once it gets warmed up, but the cold start is miserable. I tried adjusting the choke but it still doesn’t like it when it’s cold. I’ll just keep fiddling with it.

I took it to a repair shop this morning about two hours away south off Boston. The guy who is suppose to work on it just left for vacation and will be gone all next week. There was another guy there and I asked him if they had a special tool to remove the bezel without destroying the bezel. He didn’t know but said that the guy would never d…[Read more]

Use a very small screwdriver to pry the bezel edge out. Go slow and shallow. After you get about 2/3 around you’ll be able to take it off. Do it carefully; there’s a gasket in there and the face may be glass.

We’ll I was able to get the speedometer out of the dash. The next thing is getting the bezel off without destroying it. I’m sure they crimp the outer edge after it’s all assembled. I sent Bill an Email looking for advice. Any ideas here?

It’s a 30 PICT – 2, The guy I bought the car from changed the accelerator pump diaphragm, and the float and needle to get it running. I squirted card cleaner in the idle mix port and the idle cut off. But I’ll probably do a more complete rebuild after driving season.
There is no wire running up the steering column, and as it was extended I’m…[Read more]
