Thanks, Fred,for the questions....
Yes, it cranks fast.
Will have to run a test today to answer your other questions.
I am wondering if it could be a weak coil that tends to fail when the engine gets hot?!?!?!!?

I also am running antifreeze in the system. I have a vague memory of reading that plain distilled water conducts heat better than antifreeze.
Yesterday I drove about 15 miles...Outside temp was 96, humidity 85..Temp gauge was at 200. I drive this car 1000 miles a year and it has never overheated.

Thanks for helping in the analysis.

(Sure wish I could go back and spend the summers on my old farm in Tranquility, NJ!!!)

Ok...my 1937 Super Eight has now started causing me grief.
I know that this topic has been discussed many times in the past..(but I never paid attention because I didn't have the problem at the time.)
My electric fuel pump is working fine, so vapor lock is not the problem.
Battery is at 6.3V so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
As soon as it cools down, it starts in 2 seconds.

Any creative hints would be appreciated.

It makes me reluctant to stop at a gas station....

I was fortunate to visit the museum about 20 years ago. One of my favorite museums!!!!
I made a video of the entire collection as I walked around and talked to the camera.
As I was leaving, the Director of the Museum stopped me and pressured me to pay an admission for my camcorder....
It was well worth it. I have enjoyed revisiting the museum numerous time.
At the time, there was also a custom '47 limo with a clam shell top to allow the owner (a Catholic Bishop) to enter without bending over because of back problems.

The antenna kit contains two types of leadin wire with connectors, two side cowl mounted antenna and a rear fender mounted antenna.
Found this neat item in a pseudo antique shop outside Hot Springs, Arkansas about 10 years ago.

Do you know of anyone who could use a couple of NOS rear windows? I have TWO that I believe are for a '51-52 Junior..
FREE...FREE....FREEEE
..but they would have to be picked up 25 west of Houston....
Trying to downsize and anxious to find someone who can use them....just no way to ship.

Have not started posting on clock forums....thought this would be the best place to start.

We are missing one of the hands on our clock and wonder if there is someone with a parts clock who can help me with the problem.

Thanks for looking at my post...

Just saw a news article about George Clooney attending the LA premier of his new movie 'Hail Caesar'. Article claimed they arrived in a 30s Packard.

Anyone know what it was????
