PI doesnt have ordering via their website. You just need to call the office during business hours to order it and they will get it right out to you. It's a very handy resource.

Radials being safer, does not make necessarily make Ply-Bias tires unsafe. Unsafe means there is an inherent danger with it. I don't remember anything in the newsreels about all cars before Radials running off the roads and into ditches if driven more than 10 miles a week. So lets not confuse opinion with fact.

I'm really surprised Steele doesn't have them. Probably one of the simplest pieces you would think to reproduce.

Buy the engine judging guide from PI. It describes what everything under the hood should be painted and/finished in. The problem with pictures is that you are assuming that person painted their engine correctly!

It's a 56 Stude Hawk. The gentleman asked me if it was ok, and I said of course since it's a Packard drivetrain. A Packard in Stude Clothing! Which means all the 1956 Service information on the website here applies to him.

Great Photo! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I agree. I am not sure that reversing the axels will lead to a longer life. I would think that the opposite is more likely!

I agree with Randy. An impact gun is great for removing stuck fasteners without snapping them. A torque wrench is not needed for removing fasteners, only tightening them to recommend specs.

WD is just about worthless as a penetrator. Buy some PB Blaster, hit the area with a wire brush to remove any paint or rust scale, and then soak with PB Blaster. Give it a day to soak in really good, and then a coupe of hits with an Impact gun should break it loose without snapping it.

The hammering action of the Impact sends the force down the length of the bolt helping to break it free. As opposed to just a socket wrench that will simply twist the head off of a stuck bolt.

Luckily the thermostat bolts should be very easy to drill out.

Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans out there.


Someone sent this to me in an email. If you are ever wondering how effective out troops and technology are here is a video montage that was put together as a propaganda film that every insurgent should have to watch before deciding to join up. Technology is scary! (Graphic Content Warning!)
