You do not need to be a member of the NCCA to participate in the new Nash Forum. As noted above the old timers do not want to change so the new forum needs some new blood. http://www.nashforums.com/forums/index.php

Going rate for Twin H manifold?
Thanks for everyone's input on this. I sold it for $90 because the guy's manifold was rotted out and his car was not going anywhere until it was replace. It was just blasted without the balance tube or exhaust adapter. I was happy to get…

Car Pricing in Hemmings
If you look at the auction summaries in the front you will see the notorious Steve McQueen Hornet that has bounced around ebay and other venues for some time. It sold for the astounding price of $61,000, and it was not even in that great of shape.

I have a nice one, just the manifold, no carbs, or other parts. I am selling and looking to see what they are brining. Thanks for the inputs.

The Nash club does not have an active forum only a email list server that is used by members only.

Here is a new forum for Nash that one of the club members has put together. If you are interested in Nashes it might be the one to test out. http://www.nashforums.com/forums/index.php Just opened up during the last couple of days. Dan

The intent was for this to be on the Nash page, not the Hudson page! Sorry

Hill Holder
I have seen one Hudson No-Rol kit (the trade name for Hill Holder used outside of Studebakers) on ebay a few years ago. They were, to my knowledge, a dealer offered item, but I do not know if they were a factory item or not. I have never seen one …

Headlight relay installation
If you watch ebay you can get a dual (hi/lo) 6V or 12V Echlin, Niehoff, Blue Streak or similar NOS headlight relay. I have picked up several for about $20 to $25. Here is a Blue Streak that is a bit more, but you can make an offer for less! http:…

It would look great with a H8 and a Edmunds twin carb manifold like this:

Installing a 308 in a 47 Pickup
The other kind of cool option would be to put a Hudson 8 in the pickup and use '47 Commodore 8 trim.

Want to buy stepdown disc brake set up
Is the Labud kit still available? I was under the impression that all the kits were no longer in production?

Looking for a vs57 McCulloch supercharger. Other performance parts!

K-GAP? Are they still in business?

Old Junkyard Getting Ready to Crush
I checked out Kirby’s place about 4 years ago. There are a lot of cars, a mishmash of AMCs, older Jeep stuff, a couple of Packards, a number of Kaisers and Studebakers, you might have been able to find a few to restore but 98% were just parts cars.…
