Trav is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this forum. Do what he suggests.

Got it. Thanks wwilson.

How do you include in a reply a quote from a previous post ?

The idle mixture screws affect the mixture fed through the tiny ports swept by the throttle valves. The idle screws affect little more than the idle. If your carb is running way too rich at speeds well above idle and the choke plate is in the full vertical position, there is probably something...

In your photos, if you turn the screw, with the little spring around it, counter clockwise, that should reduce the 2800 RPM.

Warm up the Jeep so that the choke plate is fully open. With the engine running, open the throttle slightly so that you can lift the fast idle cam to the second highest step and opposite the fast idle screw. Stop holding the throttle open. The fast idle screw should now be touching the fast idle...

Perhaps the junk yard does not have titles for the cars they refuse to sell.

Thanks for the tip @Owen Lucas. I am going to try a new transducer.

Thank you for your replies. Sounds like I need to write this one off. HF may just be the wrong place to buy an ultrasonic cleaner.

My $89 Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner has stopped working after about two years of very infrequent use. Their website says its warranty is for 90 days. Does anyone have experience with HF being lenient on their warranty for plug-in tools? Please relate. Thanks.

Porsche 356s used 8mm diameter bolts with 14mm head size. In good condition, those obsolete, original bolts and their 14mm wrench size nuts are highly coveted by 356 purists.

You don't write badly; in fact, better than many English speakers.

Perhaps you would do well to buy the additional parts that you would like replaced, maybe the pins, anti-rattle parts and clips. Add them to the other parts that you plan to supply. Ask that the old parts be returned to you and hope the inventory of old parts matches the new that you supplied.

Ultra-slotted rotors.

Yes, it's aluminum. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/108184-what-year-did-packard-make-aluminum-heads/

My friend has a 1936 Packard 120 with an aluminum head that has 10MM x 1.0 pitch spark plug threads. One of the plug threads is stripped. The car uses Champion UY6 plugs which have a reach of only ¼ inch. We are having difficulties finding a 10MM plug repair kit that has 1.0 thread pitch and...

My 1993 MB 400E shifted smoothly with Redline synthetic; I don't remember which type. As I recall, there is an access hole through which you can remove a small plug to drain the convertor too. The difficult part is lining up the drain plug and the access hole.

It is difficult for me to tell from the photo, but if the plug is convex with the dome pointed outward, it is a Welch plug. A Welch plug is seated by being struck on the dome which expands the plug's circumference.

@clinebarger, please explain disconnecting the bus bar and why disconnecting it separates the body from the underhood electrical. Is a bus bar part of the fuse box? I always enjoy and learn from your postings. Thanks.

The vise is only a 4 inch one so it's not being used for heavy work. I searched for furniture cups but found nothing large enough to accommodate 5 inch wheels.
