Water and real gas don't mix. Water and ethanol gas mix together. When ethanol gas gets old the water and won't mix anymore.

You don't want it to ping since the rings are broke in yet. Make site to back it down from ping by 4 degrees. You could get noticeably more power out of it after rings seal up. Take it on an hour trip, make it work, lean into the throttle on uphill runs, but don't rev it over 3000 rpm to...

Yep DEXRON, don't use synthetic in an old transmission, as in unknown when last rebuilt. Just asking for trouble. Too slippery and will leak.

Check this thread, they are no afraid to raise pressure to suit. Tire pressure for a 1962 Valiant with 14" tires

OK, you are right. Let's study history. Ford history. Ford explorers tires blowing out and rolling over. Many lawsuits. Remember that? Remember the resolution? They didn't have enough air in the tires, so they raised the tire inflation recommendations. Yes it's true read about it...

You are so set in your ways you are afraid to add air to a tire and see how the car drives?

Sir you are now making foolish statements based on your fears. Your fears are showing here, how do you dare enter traffic? How is the tire going to blow out at 75% of max pressure? The tire makes says 51 is the max pressure. I've driven tens of thousands of miles like this. The car handles...

You must think of the entire vehicle, your 2024 Lincoln had many features and technology advantages your 72 Imperial doesn't have: 4 wheel independent suspension Variable rate coil springs Struts not shocks Front and rear sway bars Variable rate power steering 4 wheel antilock disc brakes...

Driving around at half the max pressure? That's what is dangerous for those around you. Take that 5000 pound car into a corner with 24-30 psi in the tires and watch how the tire is rolling over.

These guys complaining about a hard ride, what is the condition of your shocks? Don't make the tire do the work of the shocks.

Fill them up to 45 lbs. look at the max pressure on your new tires. The max press is not 32 like years ago, common is 51 psi max. So going by the 1957 air pressure sticker the 24 is only half filled. Fill the tires and try it, it won't hurt the tire or your car. I have a 1961 Chrysler with...

A 1957 doesn’t have a flexplate on the converter to hold it. you can fashion some sort of metal plate to put into the ring gear and can go against the bottom of the block to stop rotation.

Better yet is look at the wiring diagram and see what powers the bulb.

Ok, can you take a photo of it?

Wood is not stock. Works good to raise or angle the seats. can you please show the shop manual page that shows 2x2 wood?

The clean plugs have the vacuum leak or no fuel from the carb. Good advise above, look at the intake and see where the air fuel comes from. could just be intake gasket leaking also.

Where was it sitting? Was it humid and non heated? Your compression numbers are very low. What was the number from,the vacuum gauge? Of course the timing chain could be on wrong, or the valve grind done wrong, or valves not closing all the way, but you have adjusted those. I would look in...
