Bill: That sounds about right and I have brand new motor mounts. Yes, the oil pan on the TD is the first thing to scrape when you run out of clearance. My TD's oil pan bears many scars. But the TD st

Got 30 years on my TD without tubes, and it didn't have tubes on when I bought it. I've hit some good pot holes too. But maybe I've just been lucky. Bob Donahue (Still stuck in the '50s) EMAIL - BOBM

The thermostat in my TD doesn't seem to regulate the temperature all that well. On a hot 90+ deg day, the gauge sometimes hits 195F. In the winter at freezing, the gauge only gets up to 160F. Is this

I just cleaned up the wiper motor from my TD. It runs but gets mighty warm. Is this normal? Are there any specs I can check, like resistance or current draw. Bob Donahue (Still stuck in the '50s) EMA

The bottom of the jets on my TD's carbs are always wet with gas. The back one is just wet. If you touch your finger to it, then smell your finger; it smells like gas. The front one usually has a half

I changed the oil in my TD today and put in a new felt oil filter. I started up the engine, watching the oil gauge. There was the usual 'new-filter-oil-pressure-delay' of several seconds. There was a
