The accessory oil line on top of the trans is separate from everything else. Oil is basically thrown into the fitting on top of the trans and gravity feeds it down to the front of the engine. You can also install a screen above the transmission that the oil flows over and drains through. This helps ...

Re: How easily should rear wheels turn?
Rainer This is how I was taught to tighten the FRONT wheels. Clean and grease the inner bearing. That one is pretty easy. Clean and grease the outer bearing. Screw in the bearing with your hand and then the wrench. Spin the wheel as I tighten the bearing with the wrench until it stops. Reverse the b...

Re: Texas Inspector Threw the Book At Me.
For liability purposes, seat belts are required for a lot of hill climbs and so are helmets. What you do is install a seat belt with a couple of bolts. You place the seat belts under the seat and leave them there. At inspection time you pull them out. For a helmet, you look up aviation and purchase ...

Do you have to be ambidextrous to do them together or does it just take practice? I cannot figure out how you do it with the second picture unless you have some very long ar...

I guess I have to explain why I posted this. The check I sent was sent to Larry Sidmore in California for a set of AC brakes, so it is T related and not a story. Larry will send them to me in about 3 weeks. Hopefully they arrive better than the check did.

If you purchase an ECCT or an HCCT, you will not only be able to maintain your own coils, but you will make a lot of friends when you do theirs as well. You also will never have to buy a 6 pack again.

Whats rhe best way to set up your dizzy after repair?
Took the engine apart to inspect and repair some parts. Was looking at the distributor and wondering what I have to do to get the gears lined up correctly. The cap is marked 1,2,3 and 4, so that part is done. I know I need to set it on TDC. Then what?

Looks like you did a great job. I hope it continues to work for you once you are able to take it out on a real trial run. Could we also get a picture of your dashboard? How did you run the wiring from the rear to the dashboard? Along the frame? Vielen Dank.

Re: Buttons on upholstery
I would try a silicon spatula. Cut a grove in it to slide under the button. You need to clean off the mineral oil before you take a Dremel to the button. Recommend you use leather conditioner instead of mineral oil.
