Due to my age and a bad back I have a problem getting in and out of my 1951-170A.

How many hours should I get out of a new set of Champion plugs #REM-40E on a Cont. 0-300.

Chris,
If you want to meet some 170 folks during the 2010 Sun'N Fun at LAL do this.
Watch their schedule and attend the 170 forum ( usually 2 hours). Lots of good
info about the 170's and good honest people you will enjoy associating with.

My 1951-A serial # 19942 needs a one piece windshield/windscreen.
1. Where is the best place to buy?
2. What thickness?
3. Which is better, clear, tinted green or grey?
4. How many hours will it take the men in blue to install?

Cut a piece of 5/8 inch garden hose into two 3 inch pieces. Slide them over your u-joints and keep on trucking.
