    Does the car sit a lot? This will cause it to drain.

    '57 brake light problem

    Tom- There aren't electrical connectors on the MC. I was working on the frame rail close to the exhaust manifold. Good call.

    '56 engine bay fuel filter

    You're right. The line looks fine from the outside. It is firm. This car has an electric fuel pump on it that works at startup. It doesn't stay on constantly like my truck. I know it works because it filled up the filter jar (completely) when it was empty. The car started right up and...

    '56 engine bay fuel filter

    I got the AC Delco filter instead of going through HQ. Your number appears to be correct. I plan on installing it later today and then inspecting the fuel line.

    Coughing and dying in hills

    Thanks again. It does have power steering but now I have a better idea of where to look. You've been a big help.

    '57 brake light problem

    For the master cylinder question. I don't have the car near me so I can't verify. I thought I was working at the master cylinder. On the left side, near the manifold, but not mounted to the engine. I'll look again. If I remember correctly, there were two wires coming from the area I was...

    Thanks. It does seem to be related. We've had this issue for awhile and have taken it apart many times to no avail.

    '56 engine bay fuel filter

    Thanks. I found the filter through a supplier out of Concord. What exactly is the rare part? The filter or assembly? I don't know if the filter has been changed in the life of the car.

    Coughing and dying in hills

    This is what lead me to the fuel filter search. The problem first became obvious on flat ground. At around 40 mph, near shifting (not a smooth shifter anyway), the car had a fuel delivery issue. It began coughing heavily, but I managed to keep it running. This happened twice. Later while...

    '57 brake light problem

    The right brake light on our '57 works intermittently. I've checked all the wires in the trunk and they look excellent. I've also checked and replaced the connectors on the master cylinder and I still have the problem. Has anyone had a similar problem and any possible solutions? Thanks.

    '56 engine bay fuel filter

    I am looking for a replacement fuel filter, just the filter, that fits in a glass jar, inside the engine compartment. I went to Napa and all they had were the filters that are at the fuel pump. I don't know if what I want is stock, but it sure is old. The filter has exposed cloth, with and...
