Could it be possible that these old cars (I have a 30 & a 52 with 3 speed manual transmissions) may rotate too slowly for corn head grease to liquefy and get everything lubricated properly? I'm thinking of the input and tail shaft brgs.

Been a while since I've posted. Looking through the latest Smoke Signals I see dealers offered a rear trunk option. I have a trunk but did not mount it when I did my 30 because the mounts were so cobbled up. Anyone have information on the hardware used? Photos would be great. Thanks in advance.

No extra pumps. Sorry.

Now I'm in search of a balancer for my 52. Either of you folks have a lead?

I have a column and gear from what I was told was a 53 but it has an exposed shifter shaft. 52 or earlier I assume?

Thanks for the quick response.

Are the steering boxes and columns on 52's and 53's the same? Differences between manual and hydromatic?

Thanks. Looks like you went to a lot of work. Great job.

My issue remains a mystery. I definitely got nervous when I saw zero oil pressure but found no reason for it. My best guess is a piece of crud that made it into the line from the block to the gauge. She's doing well. Thanks for all the reminders.

Good information. Some time ago someone advertised 28 Pontiac skeletons for sale. I checked my parts books and found nothing similar but again, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Used Steele's products on mine. Very satisfied.

I went to my parts book. Hadn't used it for a time. I checked several items and the only parts I found compatible were the heads and water manifold.

I checked the parts book and did not find the impeller listed as an individual part for the 30. I'm still curious since the diameter and shaft size are the same. I assume Impeller thickness would be the other critical dimension. Looks like a somewhat different vane design.

Thanks Rob! Just what I needed.

Can someone tell me what parts of a 28 would be compatible with a 30 Pontiac?
