I got a bore scope I have been wanting to buy 1 for years. I thought it was a good idea. I cant get the scope into the cylinder because the cylinder is not under the spark plug hole and it will not bend enough to get it into the cylinder. I also checked the antifreeze to make sure that it was good. the antifreeze was good to -30. I may have to put the car in the back of the garage till winter when things slow down I just hope I don't loose interest till then. I guess I will fill the cylinders with the diesel and atf before I do

the engine is a 1941 super 8 i dont know why but i keep coming across 41s they must have made alot of those. I may check into a bore scope it would be nice to see inside i also thought a valve could have rust on the stem making it hard to open. Nothings ever simple.

working on a super 8 that was sitting for years big surprise. the plugs on the the back 3 cylinders were rusted pretty bad like water was laying in the area around the plugs. I loosened the spark plugs a turn or so and blew out the rust and junk around the plug before removing them. Soaked the cylinders with marvel mystery oil. I removed the flywheel cover and with a pry bar was able to turn the flyweel with a fair amount of pressure. after a couple days i turned the engine about a half of 1 revolution and its starting to get tight again. I put more mystrery oil in the cylinders. I was going to try and turn it more in a couple of days but i was wondering if i should pull the head off. If i used the starter i may not have noticed the tight spot.

I read that the r11 overdrive is a better overdrive. Would that fit in 1941 160-180 cars? Also what years were they used.

I ran a couple numbers through the vin decoder and I have some questions. The cars were in the collarcityauctiononline website. Item 34 vehicle number 1472-3307. When i put the number in the decoder says outside valid model production sequence. I checked the number it seems correct. Is there a problem with decoder or me. Item 39 vehicle number 1442-2241 . The add says 160 the name on the side of hood says 160 decoder says 180 I noticed the hub caps also look different. Was there a model between 160 and 180?

They got some pretty high prices for some of those cars i was surprised to see what some of them brought especially without titles But im happy for the man’s family that owned the cars

Dose anyone sell reproduction interior for Caribbeans

Did all 1955 Caribbean convertible come with dual quad carburetors

I may bid on a few of these.But as a guy who has had older cars for the past 40 years i have been noticing that young people dont want them. they want 60s and 70s. cars. And alot of the cars i have are starting to go backwards in value.I see cars all the time on websites that people inherit a nice old car they leave it sit outside till its almost junk and then try to sell it. In another 50 years i wonder how many will survive.

What is the correct way to tell if a 1955 Caribbean has the original engine. Also did they all have summer winter seats or was that an option?
