    Help me decide on a floor jack

    Main reason I asked about a new one is I don't know what brand or tonnage this gifted one is that works but often leaks. I'd try and fix if it's worth it. Anyone got a clue?

    You've all been helpful. I don't need anymore advice at this rate. Thanks all.

    Help me decide on a floor jack

    This really helps, thanks. Seems one pays more for aluminum and that benefits putting it in the trunk. I might just opt for old heavy steel and stay put.

    Help me decide on a floor jack

    I want to buy a 2-3 ton floor jack to replace a gifted one. I want to lift the front of my 1965 Signet and then use jack stands. I'll do tires and such and also use it 2-3 a year. Trouble is I don't like to buy unsafe jacks but I don't want to spend a butt load of dough. Is there a decent...

    biggest tire for my Valliant

    I like that tire size. I get concerned there's not enough clearance around the wheel openings. Looks like yours is fine.

    biggest tire for my Valliant

    On a different note, I'd love to find a flat tire replacement for my 215/70/R14. Anyone ever done this?

    Mabel's home!

    As you can see, I have a 65 Signet I've pretty much updated over the last 30 years. If you ever run into a jam, I may have some suggestions. Nice car, by the way.

    Metro makes great stuff. I've replaced my 65 Valiant convertible roof rails three times and the sides always shrink leaving a 1/8" gap. I wish I could defy this shrinkage.

    Fascinating. That said, does ANYONE make a soft pad for 1965 Valiant Signet?

    Were dashpads ever covered with an actual softer vinyl "pad"?

    That is great news. This will sell well for you, if people agree cardboard is goofy. Let me know when they work. Thanks. BTW my speaker panels rock with Dynamat behind.

    Super Six 2bbl carb?

    That sounds good to me, a 2 bbl from a 318. I had a compression check done and passed. I believe they checked vacuum too but not sure. Not being a mechanic, I will likely explore this in the spring as it’s getting close to putting convertible asleep for winter. Thanks for that.

    Super Six 2bbl carb?

    New Pertronics electronic ignition, last one failed under warranty. Timing is good.

    Super Six 2bbl carb?

    No old gas, always fresh. Mechanic has checked for leaks and it is tight to manifold.

    Super Six 2bbl carb?

    Why not a fresh new carb maybe?

    Oh and by the way, I get hounded by friends to put in electronic fuel injection. $$$!

    Super Six 2bbl carb?

    I'm having a tough time getting my Super Six right. I am not a mechanic so I take it to a pretty reputable shop in Minneapolis, MN. I had the Super Six installed a few years back and the engine idle is an issue. In DRIVE and stopped, it's is rough and wants to kill. If the idle is turned up...

    I need a better accelerator cable system

    I would love to make it pivot but where do I begin the search for cable parts like that? I tried bicycle stores and no luck.
