The VCCA forum shows an upstate South Carolina region and a Charlotte region. The forum just migrated to a new program/format so many are re learning the system. I think you will be able to search the contact info for the regions here https://vcca.org/community/. Click on rosters on the tool bar. If that doesn't work send me a message and I can get you the info. Dave

viv w, If you look closely they are 6 lug. It was a late 29 option (May) and rather rare for 29 Chevies. Hard to find as are the hub caps but I or the next caretaker will be all set. Dave

29red4, Good suggestion on the VCCA. I have a 29 project and would try and help answer your questions. You have a great start Dave

Maybe it wasn't run enough after the rebuild to seat the rings. Dave

I have used the Loctite glass glue and it worked great. Good advice above on finding a way to support while setting up. Dave

The ACDelco Dist. in Billings is Direct Automotive. I doubt they will have it but you never know. I was surprised to see the 1996 catalog still had a A 6 breakdown since most techs went to complete replacement years before that. I will attach ;

Anglefish, Where are you located? Dave

The Frigidaire name was dropped when GM sold the division in 1979. The logo/brand for automotive , for a short time, was Delco Aire. The Delco Aire name may have been before 1979 I don't remember the exact time line. Dave

The Delco A6 has been out of production for many years so finding someone with the tools, parts and knowledge to rebuild one may be a challenge. I believe at one point Alma Products in Alma, MI was doing the A6 along with many other compressors. You might contact them to see if they can do it or recommend someone. Dave

Thanks, I was sitting here with the intention to vote and my Bugle in front of me but the process is working against my intention! Dave

It would not make a big difference in value but the body number 30551 is for a 1930 Coach. There were a lot of improvements from 29 to 30. Dave

Can you vote on line?

Mine has one hole near the bottom of the tube. Take your old one to NAPA and they can match it up. NAPA filters are/were made by Wix who is now owned by Mann. Dave

I had to buy a Reed-Prince screw driver when restoring a wooden Chris-Craft speedboat. I got the screws and driver from a marine supplier. Dave

It is stamped AC and Type e-18, any ideas what it fits? I would like to find a home for it. Thanks Dave

This is the Cole-Hersee switch # 75908;

It may work I just don't know. If I am remembering correctly the 32 had a mount on the front cross member with two bolts and a mount on each side of the clutch housing. Check how the drive shaft will end up at the 32 transmission as far as length. Attach some pictures, everyone like pictures! Dave

There are quite a few threads on how to replace the exhaust manifold gasket. I would read up on how to do it without causing the manifold to crack. My 31 had the correct curved washers but I had to source one that was missing. I used a paste of oil and graphite to coat the manifold and gasket and did not overly tighten the attaching bolts. The idea is you want that large piece of unobtanium cast iron to move when it expands and contracts rather than break. I had to go back and gently snug up a few times but so far so good. Again lots of good threads on this I would search for them before doing anything. Dave

Welcome The 32 is 194 ci and the 36 is a 207 ci the 207 would be better if you have it. If you can get a 39 or 40 Chevrolet parts list it will have detailed info on the springs in the back of the catalog. Here is a online site that may help https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/. The vintage Chevrolet club also has a forum which is also helpful on Chevy questions https://vccachat.org/ Dave

I have had nice plating work done by S&H in Madison, TN. Dave

My first name and my first old car and my Grandfathers last, 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe. Dave

Probably not getting more useful or valuable sitting in the Washington woods. Why not pull it out , put it inside and see what you have? Dave

Reading about corn head grease it seems it does not get hot enough in most steering boxes to liquify so it ends up channeling like grease. I mix mine with some 600w so it is always semi liquid and still does not all leak out. I have not seen anything on corn head about yellow metals but there have been many posts about it on this and other sites. Might be able to search for old posts. Dave

I would also consider joining The Vintage Chevrolet Club (VCCA). Lot's of Chevy specific knowledge on their forum to add to what you get on this site. https://vccachat.org/ubbthreads.php/forum_summary.html A good parts wanted section on their forum that many with nos parts look at for your not so common parts. I use The Filling Station and Gary Wallace in Missouri. Dave

Those type filters can be over tightened and it warps the metal top. They can be carefully straightened if the new gasket does not fix it. I also use The Filling Station. Dave
