Re: 55 Restoration Project

As you have noticed the Red bird is the project car we worked on. Noticed it's stance is higher that the two other birds. We agreed that once driven the car should settle down a bit. The picture was taken a week after the restoration was complete.

Re: Rust again in master cylinder

I suggest you run denature alcohol through the lines then fresh unopened brake fluid then bleed all of the lines. There could be a chemical reaction with a metal ( Aluminum) fitting that also could be the issue.

Re: Setting Valve Lash

I tried using the camera switch too much bounce. I also used the remote starter switch along with the feeler gauge. I found that using P&G technique gives me a better reading without the cable. https://www.google.com/search?q=p%26g+valve+gapper+vintage+adjusting+tool+set&sca_esv=9dd3c420e69a...
