Use the correct voltage bulbs as
specified by the manufacturer. The
others will not prove satisfactory even-
with heavier fuses. The manufactur-
er of the vacuum. tank you contem-
plate purchasing furnishes full infor-
mation with.sketches, et¢.. for proper
installation. It is not a. difl‘lcult job
to install the outfit ‘on any car. The-
vucuurn tank itself must be anchored
in place above the carburetor. A suc-
tion line is then'run from intake man-
ifold to vacuum tank and thence to
—main supply tank. usually at the rear
of car. A short gravity feed line from'
vacuum tank to carburetor completes
the installation.

l have a Model 83 Overland car which
I had overhauled last ,fall but since I
had it overhauled it misses a lot when
I 'go slow- or ‘when I try to keep it
speeded up at all times and the only
time it hits on all four is when it
pulls hard and it knocks when I do
so and has no power. I have to shift'
into second gear on very small grades.
Do you think the loss-of power is due-
10 cylinder out'of round and knocks
:0 piston slap as I- have been told?
What would you advise me to do?
Thanking you for any information
that you may give me...’ VRBADER.
Rewinding of the cylinders and lit-
ung of new piston and rings would
undoubtedly restore the power. Your
inability to throttle down or idle the
engine may be. due to. air leaks in the
Intake manifold or- bndly worn valve}
guides. \Vom cylinders and pistons
will cause knocks as well as loss of
powor. If you feel that your car is
'th it. would suggest the above re-t
pairs by all means.

A real test can only be made in a
properly equipped laboratory. but a:
very satisfactory test may. be made by
cleaning- out all the old oil and filling
the crank case with a new oil. The
car is then tried out on a.‘ hill. pre-

ter the car has run 1.000 miles; Also,
watch for carbon. To make a thor-

been removed before starting the test.
