    Proper paint colors

    Check with Mark at RAPCO. He stocks Gillispie Coatings which generally make the best MV paint in my opinion.

    Starter Relay

    The relay is under the air cleaner on the passenger side. You have to remove the air cleaner to change it out easily. My second deuce drove me nuts intermittently starting after heating up while driving. I finally decided it had to be the relay. When I removed the relay one of the posts had...

    Tx. registration

    We used to not put the sticker on the window here. Used the bumper numbers and all that. Then my son got stopped with a machine gun and silenced pistol, all legal, when a Highway Patrol thought he had an unregistered vehicle. No problems, just do not want to be stopped unless we have to be.

    Got my jatonka spin on fuel filter adapters.

    You will really like them. Do not plan on the entire day installing. Give it an hour, max!

    That is possible, but what if they were scraped against an object?

    Magnetic Drain Plug

    The problem is removal of the metal when you change the oil. With the heavy magnets on the oil filters it is not a problem. Change the filter, remove the metal all at one time. With the magnet on the drain plug, you remove the plug and metal and wipe. Putting a magnet on the pan means it...

    Magnetic Drain Plug

    I was hoping you would chime in Bjorn. I figured this techie stuff would have been your bread and butter long before it occurred to me. :-D And, I would drill out the center, but I figure it will cost about $20 to buy the magnetic plugs and much quicker.

    Magnetic Drain Plug

    They do not list the plug other than on the main page. I have emailed them for the information. My thought, as usual is how to get rid of rust/metal in the fuel and lubrication system. I have placed very powerful magnets on the spin oil filters to see what happens. I will cut them open at...

    Magnetic Drain Plug

    I am thinking of putting magnetic drain plugs on the oil pan at the next oil change. What size is the drain plug?

    How long does she have doc

    Everyone here has different ideas and different needs. You pay your nickel and take a chance. cranetruck lives far north of me. He probably preheats his oil because it gets too darn cold. I live in Texas. It gets to darn hot. I think for my application, better oil pressure on starting is...

    How long does she have doc

    If you do with yours what I do, parades and such, then you probably baby it as much as I. I was out over the weekend just checking. I need a life.

    How long does she have doc

    I recall reading the post Clinto referred to also. And I think his recollection of it is on the money. cranetruck has suggested that in order to avoid cold sluggish oil in northern climes that heating the oil before starting is a useful process. In Texas, I doubt it would be much of a...

    How long does she have doc

    I think it got a bad rap after the governors and such were removed in Vietnam. I also think it can be made better by the addition of modern fuel and oil filters with some regular care. Maintenance is the problem in my opinion. In the service, they were treated rough, very rough. I regularly...
