Leave compressor out? It doubles the time to change belts. Unless you've done upgrades, it just doesn't work well enough to hassle with. Put it...
What was the tribute? The Wed night show? Was nice seeing two B-29's at the same time. My friend commented that he sure wouldn't have wanted to...
456 is a pain to deactivate the battery because of the doors. If I know it will sit, I put both windows down slightly before disconnecting...
If you send me a private message, I can give you my phone number and we can chat. I did mine in 2017. Unlike Dean, I made a slit in the cable...
Well, as of July 1, 2025 Maryland has changed the historic tag laws again, and not for the better. Now historic is a fixed date, not a rolling 20...
What did your fuel look like when you drained the tank to change the pump? Mine had a few rust flakes in it. I'm pretty sure that's what jammed...
From a practical standpoint vinyl or leather makes so much more sense, especially if you have a GTSi and handle the roof a lot. That fabric is a...
The rear laminate is heavy. Maybe only on USA cars(or catalyst ones)? The 1980-85 cosmetic door pockets are also very heavy. Like 6 lbs each. It's...
I got tired of starring at the temp gauge wondering if it would creep too much beyond 1/2 way. I used the "big hammer" and did everything at once....
I had a warm start issue on my 83 QV. I looked up past posts from Rifledriver, and per his advise changed the checkvalve first. On my car it's...
They have a lifetime warranty, but if they couldn't get it right the first time, do I really want a repeat? Plus, it means I can't use the car for...
FYI, I had "Jet-Hot", a well known company, coat my headers after removing the outer shield and insulation. It started peeling after maybe 1-2yrs....
It does look like we have an ace, just not on the side we hoped for. Now, if this is anymore real than the Ghost of Kyiv, who knows. I didn't...
OH, and it's not the a/c belt for sure, because I took mine out, and the belt ticking is unchanged. It only stops on cold days if I spray belt...
20 years ago as a new 308QV owner I heard this same ticking sound. Luckily ferrarichat also existed back then, so I tried the belt dressing and it...
What caused it to be owned by the insurance company? I don't see anything obvious. I see some great deals on minimal damage certified planes, but...
My response is basically the same as the "advice" I gave to guy looking at the barnfind 456 over in the 456/550 section. Life is short. The risk...
I think a lot of 456's have sat around at some point in their lives. There are also plenty of people who will buy a "problem" low mileage 456, so...
Don't forget to look in the 172 listings when doing your search. Lots of tailwheel conversions, especially with the "low value" early Continental...
Really glad to see the 2nd flight of the B-29. Was worried that the stupid gold cart incident would hamper further flights. Basically a test bed...
