Joe, my experience is those things are hard to find. I came across a guy at the Chichasha Pre-War swap meet last March that had a box of tubes, none of them marked as to what they fit. I got a six and eight cyl. tubes that were the correct ones, the six is copper/brass and the eight is galvanized. I`m hoping he`ll be there again this year, if so I`ll see if has another. If you don`t find one before March let me know. Tom

Hi Tom,

sounds good to me . . . .. so far no luck in tracking down one for a straight 8 . . . . . have found a few for the straight 6's . . . . . I'll let you know how I make out,

Cheers,

Joe

Have you got a picture of what you're looking for? I have many odds and ends that I wouldn't recognize otherwise.

I'll see if I can find a pic of the straight 6 water distribution tube . . . . . it is the same dimensions as the straight 8 with the exception of the length . . . .

Thanks,

Joe

Joe, no pictures but I can give length 32 5/8", all the holes are in the bottom/top(?), 11 larger holes are 3 groups of 3, and a single hole on each end. Span from centerline of the two single holes is 28". There are also 8 smaller holes.. Tom

Thanks Tom!

Here are some pics of a water dsitribution tube from a 1935 Pontiac straight 6. Same as the straigh 8, just a little bit shorter. It is open on the water pump end and closed on the other end.

Here are the approx. measurements of the water tube. 32 inches long - 1 1/2 inches on the long side of the end - 1 inch on the short side of the end - and the width is 1/2 inch,

If you have one please let me know,

Thanks,

Joe

Joe.. did you miss measure? My 6cyl tube is 27 3/8" long. 8cyl tube is 32 5/8". Tom

Hi Tom, it is 32 5/8 length for the straight 8.

Thanks for the heads up,

Joe

It almost looks the same as for my Packard, but the holes are on the opposite side. If it was the same, I could have easily helped you. Sorry.

Thanks for looking West,

I'll keep looking,

Joe
