, light bcing out, II II was, can not be
| given as nm excuse. There Is no law
requiring n driver To signal his inteIi-
ton of shifting gears, while the rear
driver should have been u safe dis

Q. Please answer the following
| questions:
l. What is the best way to con-
| meet dry cells for burning two slx-volt
bulbs daily and about how long
should they last?
$4,000 miles which has begun to leak
oil There Is no piston slap in the
motor. How would you advise refit-
ting an entire new set of rings on
each piston and use the old pistons?
Would this give the motor as much
power an refittng new pistons and
rings. say about 20 ten-thousandths
oversize?
8. when fitting new plstons or
rings in an old motor, is there any
advantage or disadvantage in grind
Ing them In the cylinder after filing

4. How can n Bosch high tension
! magnetic be attached to Ford car?
Il. NJ. G.
\. 1. ! would connect the cells In
series and the bulbs In parallel.
doubt that they win last more Than
n week. Using IL cells, connected IN
scrics-multiplc will give much long
or life.
:. would advise the use OF the
new rings only, unless YOU have tho
cylinders rcgrOund also. This does
not cost much for the Ford, and may
prove worth while.
3. There Is much difference OF
opinion rs To the adyisability of
grinding or Tapping" in new piston
rings The writer believes in IL, If
great care il taken To clean off all
Of the grinding material after the job
Il done. DO not use u file on the face
or sides Of the rings.
I. Special brackets and possibly
rcnrs and silent chains will he re-
Uuir"d To install the magnetic on the
Ford. IL win probably prove an cN-
pcnsiyc job. The Bosch people prob
ably have II special attachment for
this purpose, and line Ia them viii
bring u description of IL and instruc-
lions for Installing.
