Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Why there are old car fires...
Note the apparent composition (material) and location of the temporary fuel service! YEOW! (Actually, the car doesn't look that bad if you get past the presentation. The padded dash is unusually nice for one of these.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1956-PACKARD-SUPER-CLIPPER_W0QQitemZ4566220405QQc ategoryZ6389QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Whasthat Hawaiian Punch? Ha! Well, at lease you could know what kind of mileage you're getting! <G> Are you saying that excessive nose hair shouldn't be problem for him? Actually, Dwain, ANY hair probably won't be a problem for him if that container melts or tips while he is running the engine...especially with the air cleaner top off. Sheesh...and with any luck, he can take out the other cars and nearby barn in the photo! >From my KFOC days. Kaiser being driven by new owner and friend on a cold night. Fuel pump fails. >From parts available, they made up a gallon "gas tank" with gravity feed hose going from can resting on car roof (I assume it wasn't a Golden Dragon) supported by co-pilot down a hose through a gap made at back of hood to carb. Every 3/4 gallon or so they syphon and refill can - swapping positions. This went on for a bit less than 100 miles. (I did say it was cold, didn't I?) Karl (Non-participant) Haas Reminds me of the old gas mileage testers where you hung the rig on your side window and drove around..... http://users.erols.com/b-dwheeler/indexzenith.html I gotta ask the obvious: if you know what the problem is why don't you fix it before you sell it? I remember a long time ago that someone wrote in a magaizine q and a that the overdrive was not working on the import they had and should they disable one or two of the three side draft carbs the car had had? The answer was: so you broke a finger and are now going to amputate your arm off? Fix the overdrive you dolt! Bob Miles Tucson AZ |
