Where would you put one of these stickers?
My friend who was neighbors with the lady I bought my car from just had these stickers made of the original owner! The one and only Alvah, namesake for the car. She needs to come along for the ride with me! Wondering where to stick her?
Random stalling, please help.
No sputtering, the engine just stops.
This started happening after I changed the carb to an AVS2 with electric choke. Not sure if the electric load of the choke is enough to cause ignition issues? I wired the electric choke into the pigtail plug on my engine harness I got from Evans wiring a few years back, one female spade connector for the ballast resistor, another one unused previously.

How do you roll a fender lip to fit wider tires?
I have new 15×8 (4.5″ backspacing) wheels with 275 wide tires. They fit good and look better. However when I turn right at a decent speed the passenger side sidewall makes contact with the inner fender lip. It seems I need to roll the fender on the passenger side. Eastwood makes a tool, but I don’t think it would work for the “skirted” fender on a ’71 300.
