   Gee, a malfunctioning 1958 toilet. Don't built 'em like they used to. (Just kidding.)

   Try http://www.plbg.com ... you've replaced the flapper -- but are you sure the flapper seat is not too corroded, and that it is watertight? It's very likely you can work out a solution, either by grinding or replacing the seat, so your 8 gpf toilet can chug along into the 21st century.

   *A plumber told me that American standard quit making some of their parts for their older toilets. Check with a local plumbing supply house.Rick Tuk

   *An expert on old toilets is J.P. Shields, at Shields Plumbing, Port Washington, New York. Give him a call. He knows them and he has replacement parts (as well as old toilets.)
