    Any Brake Master Cylinder Not Made In China?

    Not all sellers know their shite. if they did, they'd be swindlers with their replies. The savvy buyer is the smarter buyer. That's been the case with ebay for nearly a decade or more. If they picture it, and it looks correct, they must deliver it, or suffer a refund. Take your shot...

    Any Brake Master Cylinder Not Made In China?

    Try epay for a vintage new one. EIS, Wagner, some good names out there. Even some of the Dorman look really accurate to OEM. They may be made in Mexico. Not all Dorman stuff is from China, thought little of it is USA-made. Study and search on the interchange part numbers.

    Beware Fake NOS Parts

    NOS parts often have a premium price tag. If you’re a seller of parts, being able to sell the part as NOS affords you a higher selling price. But just because someone claims a part is NOS, or the new-looking part comes with a vintage box/container, doesn’t make it an NOS part. Sadly, on more...

    Defrost setup ac ->non ac

    You got new hoses from the water pump to the heater core fittings (the outer pair, not the inner A/C ones) on the cowl firewall? I presume the fan still works to blow air? And the levers, when set to defrost, direct air flow through the vents in the top of the dash? AT (Austria) is famous...

    Defrost setup ac ->non ac

    What @1967coronet says is right, the heater part of the system should and can work just fine without the A/C element functioning. Are you talking about de-frosting the inside or outside of the glass? If it's inside, clean the windshield. You'd be surprised how well that fights mild to...

    8 3/4 brake support question

    Can you not move the 10 drums assemblies (backplates and all) over to the 8-3/4? That might be the simplest way to go, but I'm not sure if any 8-3/4 had 10-inch drums or if they even fit.

    Jimmy Carter won't be down

    Jimmy Carter was also responsible for deregulating the brewing industry, so smaller companies could make and market beer, ushering in the Craft Beer boom of the 1990s. When I sit and enjoy an 8% ABC highly bitter IPA, I feel very thankful for that skinny little man.

    Question - Re Coolant Flow

    Good question. The water pump, and it's ability to pump water, should not be impacted by plugging the heater core outlet. It will, as we hope, pump a greater quantity and/or volume through the other passages of the pump.

    Remember the Y2K scare?

    "The hype" may have helped stave it off. It's the crap we don't foresee, the stuff we cannot imagine, that kicks us in the butt. The Apollo 1 tragedy was more about unanticipated consequences than it was incompetence. Don't dis' the hype. It serves a purpose. :thumbsup:

    The castings wear out, too. When they make another, they also bump the number.

    Rust removal, better than evaporust and 10x cheaper..

    Inspired by @ct71rr before and after, I just did a choke assembly in the the citric acid solution. I could have soaked it longer, and gotten it cleaner, but I was in a hurry to make these photos. I soaked for about 2-hours at 65*F ambient edit: If these results seem dramatic, bear in mind...

    Remember the Y2K scare?

    There is a myth that if you wash your car, it will rain. It's kind of a reverse murphy's law. If you build it, will they come? Maybe not. My tweak is, if you prepare for a disaster, it will never come. From my Y2K preparations 25 years ago, I still got the diesel generator, the 55-gallon...

    Rust removal, better than evaporust and 10x cheaper..

    Thanks for sharing the photos. Did you degrease those parts before soaking? Tell us, did you have any black residue on the parts you needed to clean off, after treating? I find the citric acid solution leaves behind a black coating, that cleans off pretty easily using my hands running the...
