    Vendor Report! (Best Gasket)

    Early last week, I ordered a set of rear end gaskets from Best Gaskets, T.A. Vintage Gaskets, T.A. Carlisle Auto. I still haven't received them. There's a lot of flooding between here and there so maybe they just couldn't get through. I called them this AM and the guy (very polite) and he told that I'd probably get them today. There was a minor issue. Their ad says, 1000 in stock! Uhh Not quite! The guy had to look to verify that they had any at all! He called me back and said he did and they would be shipped that day. (Little company trying to be a big company?) Oh well, whatever! But then the guy dropped the info that they also sell harnesses! He's going to call me back with a price for a 30 Town Sedan. Stay tuned, more to follow!

    I would buy a harness from a proven place. That could be a bad move IMO

      Well, Gentlemen, I don't think I'll be getting anything more from Vintage or Carlisle! I think he was B S ing me about having some on hand. He mentioned going back to the maker for more and I think that's what he did because the mail came and nothing! Anyone can make the first sale, But can you make the second?

        OK, I was Wrong! I came in just before dark, It had not arrived, yet. I went out again about 7:30 and I stumbled over the package by the door. It had arrived after dark. I should have held my fire for one more day!

      Head gasket question
      by smittykid
      My short block out of my 29 Tudor is out in Skokie, Il. for a rebuild. I bought the 5.5:1 high comp. head from Snyder's along with the B-6051-C Graphite gasket. My Grandson is a tool & die maker and he has the Snyder's head checking for flatness. I though I read somewhere that there is a right way and a wrong way to install the head gasket. Something about "dimples" being installed...

      Gaskets, we all have'em
      by DaWizard
      Since I mentioned this in a rant on another thread, it dawned on me that this would be a good "Tech Tip" from the past.

      Lets say you are assembling your motor and anticipate needing to do some fine tuning in the future. Now, everyone knows that you will need a whole new set of gaskets, or at least the ones you will be removing to do your fine tuning. So, I propose a simple way      ...

      Gaskets Showing
      by DaWizard
      This is because I am having a wandering thought about this engine build I am doing.

      When you assemble an engine or anything with a gasket, you obviously use gaskets and some type of sealer. What I am wondering is, do you leave the over edge of the gasket showing and or leave the gasket sealer showing after it squeezes out?

      The reason I ask is because yesterday while installing      ...

      Need a good spare Autolite long generator??
      by Jeff/Illinois
      Who doesn't want a good rebuilt genny laying on the shelf or in your Model A as a spare? Derek from New Zealand over on the 'other' Antique Ford site tipped me off to a load of them at Bratton's. Derek bought 12 and took back home with him. Call Jeff up and ask for one or more, I just got off the phone with him. Super nice guy, he is boxing one up and sending it my way.

      Jeff said that...

      Classic car security
      by Tony Hillyard
      Good evening everyone,

      I would like to share with you some of my recent experiences with regard to on-line security. Although the subject of this article was in Europe, I am certain it applies just as well in the US or Australia and New Zealand.

      Classic Car Security




      When selling a Classic Car, one has to be particularly vigilant.

      permatex gasket maker copper spray application
      by ClaudeC
      Soon I will be installing my aluminum heads. Using graphite head gaskets. I was told to spray the head gasket with permatex Copper gasket maker. When I cover the head gasket with copper gasket maker, should I wait for the spray to dry before installing?
      If I install it wet it may create a mess, but it would seem that is the best way? Any used this stuff before? What did you do?

      If your head gasket could talk.....or torque.....
      by tbirdtbird
      About 60 members from our club just got back from 6-7 days in Yellowstone and Glacier Natl Park. Most trailered, one guy drove it. Some very steep passes there, especially in Glacier, the Going to the Sun road. The road is mostly 6% grade with some sections at 10%, and it is a brutal but majestic drive. No guard rails. One member has had trouble with blown head gaskets on his recent build, having...
