Does anyone still make a drier with a recessed sight glass to accommodate the OEM protective rubber plug?

Who performed the carb rebuild?

At the front, lower section of front fender; sorry didn't see your question mark.

What's the name of the attached sheetmetal part that's spot welded to the lower fender behind the bumper? Late 40s, but I couldn't find it in the parts catalog. Do these interchange with other years / models? Thanks much.

Does anyone produce an adapter to allow modern, standard timing lights to work better with thinner s-plug wires for the inductance clip? My modern timing light's clip seems too large and frequently fails to detect the spark; other t-lights seem to have the same clip style. Powering it from a standalone 12V as the car is 6V. Alternately are there t-lights designed specifically for thin s-plug wires?

Car has always had this issue in limited ownership. Experienced an actual bad condenser and that was different: Random missing at all speeds and throttle loads, amplified when cold because of weak spark. I'm now leaning more towards the points issue or weak fuel pressure.

Thanks ... new coil and same behavior as the old one. It has one of those gauze (clean with kerosene) air filters that I can't figure out how to open. But I tried it with the air snorkel disconnected and same symptom.

Carter carb, and true the points were not changed; thanks.

My late 40s 248ci Eight stumbles and "misses" at wide throttle but performs and accelerates adequately after backing-off some. Does it in all 3 manual gears. New wires, plugs, condenser, and coil with timing set to 4 BTDC at low idle. Vac adv holds vacuum and moves the plate. I'm thinking perhaps sticking dist. weights or insufficient fuel pressure to match the WOT air stream. Curious as to others' thoughts.

Buttons push fine, thanks, but don't have the resistance per se of more modern pushbutton memory radios of the 60s-70s.

Agreed, but unfortunately this isn't working for any button.

For a late 40s Sonomatic, the radio powers up and can manually tune stations fine, but none of the preset buttons have any tuning effect. Is this something that can be adjusted / troubleshooted with the radio still mounted?

Anyone know the steering wheel to column nut size & pitch; applies to '37-'51 cars (grp 6.515 p/n 257720). Need to find a die or tap; thanks.

Seeking 2 front door hinge cover plates for 46-48 models; thanks. These are L-shaped plates secured with 2 screws.

I don't believe that oil filters were standard. Was the oil dipstick painted or left bare?
