Be sure you have good clean connections at the battery, ground at the frame and the proper gauge wires are used from the battery to the switch and to the starter and the ground cable.
6V does not like a smaller gauge wire like used on a 12V system.

I would say anywhere from 60psi to 80psi is good, as long as all 4 are close to the same reading.
Be sure to do a dry test and a wet test with a little oil in the plug hole to see if the rings are sealing, if the dry reading is low.

Re: Steam in the Exhaust!
It does not take much coolant in a cylinder to create a lot of steam.
Without pressure in the cooling system, depending on how large the leak, the coolant loss may be small.
Sure sounds like a head gasket leak opened up from the flushing. Or [hopefully not] a crack in a port.

Probably a Chevy rim.
If the lugs are in a different position the valve stem won’t line up with the wheel.

TT rear axle thread size ?
I found a can full of axle/hub knocker removers...
Several are larger than the T axle and I figured maybe one or more might be TT.
What is the size at the hub of a TT axle ?
I saw nothing on a search.

I find that a little dielectric (silicone) grease keeps the contacts smooth & maintains good contact. Interesting, since dielectric grease (silicone) is non-conductive. Now having said that, a very small amount may act as a lubricant to help the contacts slid across the the fiber backing plate, but...

Re: Oil Sight Gauge problem
I have an early/period sight glass on mine, it has a small hole in the top....if you park unlevel with it full, she leaves some behind.
I have never had any problems. I will say, if it’s 1/4”-1/2” down, it needs close to a quart.

Re: Bad habit when starting
Just to not be mistaken, if the engine backfires, the crank ratchet will not disengage regardless. The ratchet releases when the engine starts in the proper direction, spinning backwards locks the crank in, hence the danger.

Re: NH Carb
Dan, the spray needle groove is from bottoming out but shouldn’t be an issue.
The float needle sticking is probably gum from the wonderful gasoline we get today.
Some carb cleaner and an old tooth brush on the needle and spray some on the seat, might take care of things.

Help with seat spring dimensions
I have numerous seat springs, some I’m sure are are for a Model T.
Can anyone please help with some sizes of them ?
I’m thinning out stuff that isn’t for a T and hopefully someone can use the T stuff.
I also have what I think is a Center door folding seat, I’ll post a picture of it later.

All the 5 Great Lakes are fresh water, Norm.
I believe the largest area of fresh water in the world, I could be wrong about that. Ending up at Niagara Falls. A beautiful sight too.
I’d be more worried about the Muckleheads than muscles Tim, but they’re earlier in the season.

I know what the springs are for, but what is this piece in the middle of the axle for ?
Looks like a pretty good axle, but it’s is bent a little in the middle.
Also what are these smaller springs for ?
TIA !

Re: NH Carb
I think since you have no fuel dripping when choking...it’s time for a compression test, dry then with a little oil in each cylinder.
Also check for a good seal at the intake manifold.

You should see that stretch of road in the winter, that spray freezes for quite the spectacle.
You don’t see any boats on those 8’ers. Lake Erie 8’ waves are like 12-15’ waves on the ocean.
At least you don’t have to worry about it being flammable anymore, eh Tim !!
