I have had distributors that looked like your cap. If you have access to a lathe, you can fix that cap by taking only a few thousandths off.

Who makes new keyed rear axle shafts?
nickelroadster replied to Littlestown Mike's topic in General Discussion
It is not that hard to machine a new one. Measure your old axle and then go to a truck junkyard and find one that is just a little too large. Take your old one with the blank and find a machine shop to cut you a new one. It will be a lot better than the 1930 one. -
When there is a will there has to be a way. I have cast some parts in urethane rubber but none quite so complicated as this. Impressive!

There's a Corvair Covertible in there.

Glad to see you are back on the Metz at least for a little while. Good luck going forward. -

Okay Dandy Dave, when will you have it going? -
1915 1914 1913 ?? Oldsmobile head lights What year ?
nickelroadster replied to bwbugay's topic in What is it?
They bear some resemblance to the headlights used on 1921- 1923 Super Sport model 47s. -
The magnetic holders shown before. They also have magnetic bases that you can attach to the outside of your toolbox. Not all of us can be quite as fancy as Ed!

Leave them only a little loose. The screw that you see on the outside of the hub is a place that you can add grease. I would just take a look into the hole and see if it is bone dry. I have had some some tough ones but never one that would fight a hub puller for very long. Are you sure there is enough give in the brake system? It wouldn't hurt to adjust the brakes to be a little looser.

One thing you might try is to get on the Whjite Post Restoration site and look there. They used to have quite a few Delco shocks listed.

The Northway model of this engine is 52 and 54. Other cars it was used on are Jackson 34, Keeton four, Paterson32 and Wescott 030 and 035.

I agree with 1906 Lozier. Northway made flat head and overhead valve versions of this 192 cubic inch versions of this engine. Used on Oakland and friction drive Cartercars. The flat belt only drives the fan blade.

Has Anyone Been To Any Car Museums In Georgia?
nickelroadster replied to jeff_a's topic in General Discussion
There is a brand new museum called the Savoy in Cartersville GA. They change their exhibits all the time. They just had exhibits called fast brass and a collection of micro cars that were interesting. They were showing cars from many different places. -
My mechanic lost my main bearing caps
nickelroadster replied to 51BuickWoody's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Sounds to me that they should be the ones to find one for you. -
Old tools almost nobody (else) uses anymore
nickelroadster replied to Crusty Trucker's topic in General Discussion
People don't use and you can't buy ignition wrenches anymore. -
Olds also used them through the teens. There were identical wedges that said Buick instead of Baker also.

nickelroadster replied to 29 Chandler's topic in Technical
3k is kind of a lot to rev an engine this old.
