Stepdown Eight Heat Riser Question
Good luck on getting a straight answer....I fought THAT battle along time ago and never did get a decent reply.. Just wire it in one position and see if that works.. If it dosent then do it in the other position till you get the best result.

Stepdown Eight Heat Riser Question
If you live in an area where you do not drive the car in cold weather I would recommend either wiring it open or if possible removing it all together....It's really unnecessary and can be a pain in the neck

What a shame that a lifetime labor of love gets reduced to a point in time when it's a decision between the scrap heap and money... Unfortunately as the old timers pass on more and more Hudson collections will fall by the way side and much of …

CLUTCH REMOVAL
Actually no drama at all..since much of the removal procedure must be done from under the car no matter how you do the job why not just do it from there and save the time and effort of removing the seat and floorboard....
