Paul,I know that Steven gave you and me access to the backend, that’s why we have the title of “keymaster.”  I assume that he also gave Ed access and that’s why he is a “moderator.”  We definitely have some features that other users don’t have and one of those is the ability to load media.  But there’s a way to load images for everyone.

I’m on the Happy Jack bandwagon.  After that drive out to Pittsburgh a couple of years ago I’ve decided I’m towing anything over an hour.

Allen, if you are going next year, let me know.  I’m always up for a road trip.

You, sir, are a madman!  XD

I made the mistake of using a 61-67 float with the kit gauge, it doesn’t work.  Someday I might replace it with a universal float but, for now, I’m using the trip odometer as a gas gauge.

The car in the banner photo belongs to @jebarry.  It’s a Flat 4 banjo wheel.  Here’s a thread on banjo wheels.

Very nice, Ed!

Dammit, looks like you guys had a blast and I spent my Saturday in conference room at the Loews Chicago O’Hare.  @billnparts make sure you put some of those shots in the flickr group, please.

Enjoy the show, guys!  Wish I could have been there with y’all!

@edsnova – I’ll give it a try this afternoon and see what happens.  Thanks for the info.

@royal – I thought about that, just not sure how to unfool.  I guess it’ll be trial and error.

I can confirm that @gregj had the right idea, after blowing out the idle jet the car is not stalling at idle any more.  Not completely out of the woods, however.  It now hesitates when up shifting.

@gregj – Preliminary results, not claiming victory because that would be hubris and the gods won’t like it, however, I took the idle jet out, used the air compressor to blow it and the hole where it came from out and then ran the car for 10 minutes in the garage on idle.  Can’t take it out to road test because it’s raining but if it’s dry t…[Read more]

@schu – Checked the hose above the valve, it’s flowing just fine.

@edsnova – The wire thingie is still attached to the carb so that’s not the problem.  Fooled around with the carb setting before posting this and that didn’t work either.

@gregj – I’ll try blowing the idle jet out if it doesn’t involve having to dismantle the carb.  Not go…[Read more]

@schu – I don’t think that’s the problem.  The fuel line below the tank is new and the car was working fine after I installed the shut off valve.  I will run that test tonight or tomorrow to make sure but I don’t think that’s the problem.  I’ll let you know what comes up.

@royal – That’s possible.  I did replace the old hose with new hoses and…[Read more]

Thanks for the tips, David.  Tried all that.  Replaced the new filter with the old filter.  Replaced all the fuel lines.  Finally gave up and put everything back the way it was before I moved the filter.  And guess what?  Still having the same problem.  Time to take it to the mechanic.
