1. Re: Oil pump priming -1953 TD (score: 1)
Author: "Bob Donahue" <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>

I find that the longer the car sits, the longer it takes for the oil pressure to come up. Sort of a semi-self priming pump. Gets kind of scary after winter storage, but it always comes back. My car h

I've run into the same kind of voodoo. Once you remove a part from a TD, it no longer fits. ;-) I swear the doors, rear fenders and fuel tank magically changed dimension while separated from my car.

I put new brake linings on the old TD today. Two of the wheels were 'tight', even with the adjusters fully retracted. I wasn't too concerned as I could still push the car by hand, although I could fe

Hello Everyone: I'm confused. The problem brake is on the front right. I don't see any difference in the shoes, they look identical to my eyes. Are there supposed to be markings designating 'primary'

I must say, I'm really tempted to grind a tiny bit out of the shoe slots that the Micram adjusters fits in. It feels like the wheel is just a half click away from turning freely. I've had drag before

Ever since my TD's restoration 5 years ago, the brakes have pulled to the right. I recently discovered that this "annoyance" around town can get REAL hairy when you have to stop fast at highway speed

Well looks like I might have both sides wrong now! What I have now may be equal amounts of less braking. What I thought was grabbing on the right might just be proper operation. Any way there is a c

Servo-action rocks! Now that I have both sides properly configured as leading-shoes, the car is stopping straight and there's much more braking power. It feels like power brakes. If you're into vecto
