I have an old Eron number 6 vice I have had for around 40 years. It needed new screws for the Jaws and I now have a Bag full of Vice Jaw Screws on hand if anyone needs any.

No luck here. But I did pull the trigger on Catalog number 76 that was on eBay. We will see if this tool is listed when it comes.

Take off the radiator cap. Start the engine when it is cold. If you see bubbles coming up it means it has a bad head gasket, or crack in the head or cylinder liner.

The car on top is a 1967 Ford Galaxy.

The car in the middle is a 1969 Pontiac GTO.

Wow. A real labor of love is all I can say. It was used up for someone, but not for that fellow. Nice job.
