For the past many years I have volunteered my M35 to drive veterans in the Westminster MD Memorial Day parade. I am not a veteran but I honor the older vets by driving them in the parade. I was prepping my truck today and noticed that a significant fuel leak had started at the connection to the...

You make some very valid and concerning points. The Aberdeen show will probably continue for now, as you stated that there is actually no legislation (yet) that may restrict current registered vehicles, but in time our rights to operate these vehicles on the road may be challenged. There are...

I have several 2 1/2 Ton and 5 Ton vehicles tagged "Historic" which I use in compliance with MD law.;M35, M816, M818 and 817. I use them for shows, parades, outreach programs for ministry and for pleasure. The concern that I have after reading all of this is; are we subject to not having...

It is best to use a heat sink between the electrical component and the termination where the solder connection will be made. A heat sink can be as simple as an alligator clip or anything else that will absorb heat close to the component to protect it against excessive heat while soldering. Make...

I don't recommend using a block with a crack in any location; with expansion and contraction the crack could migrate. I'd see if you can find a good rebuildable engine or block, you'll be glad you did in the long run. Good Luck

I've been going to the Aberdeen show since about 85 and have only missed it a few times. It is not the same show as it was on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds but it is still a great place to see some great vehicles, pick up some good parts at the flea market and hang out with friends. Your son...
