Re: Bisistor ant-feedback unit

I have no idea if this is accurate, but I asked a friend to look at that ad and his guess was... "Might be a variation of a ballast resistor. Looks like a coil. Coils usually have resistors built in, but some cars used an external resistor. Chrysler used them and so did Sunbeam and others. Many...

Re: Post up your current car status!

Well I got embarrassed by the energetic Joe O'dMoors :D into attempting to make some progress on my project so that I could post a current status. I rolled the rust bucket (1959 Thames 300E) out of the garage and fabricated a bottom hose for the radiator. Upon filling the system with water to test f...

Re: Correct Stock Radiator Cap
