Wanted- 6 cyl flat head GREEN DIAMOND INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER HEAD. Will state green diamond on the casting, 21 bolt holes, water outlet near cyl #2. Please PM or respond to posting. Thanks, Bill

Good to know. Thanks

The decal you show is not a water decal. That decal probably got old and flaked off because of time and temperature. I agree that heat might be your enemy. I always put my water-slide decal on clean-dry area then let dry thoroughly. Lately I've used Rustoleum clear enamel to seal the edges and it dries to touch in less than 30 minutes. Maybe switch to a standard Avery adhesive label if heat is a concern. I've had good luck, so far, with this. You can not have white ink on a water decal label. You'd have to pre-paint that area white for it to work. Good Luck Bill

I'm working on getting a 1925 Sterling-Knight back on the road and encountered a fuel gauge that is falling apart. I thought maybe I could repair it but the lever indicating supply or reserve was missing. So I went on the forum and made a search for what the lever might look like and ...low and behold I found the exact gauge in this post. I knew many manufacturers borrowed parts to make their cars but I am thrilled to find the gauge. The AACA Forum is GREAT. Thanks, Bill PM sent to Fordy regarding purchase. Thanks

My 28 Willys and 31 Willys are exactly the same. I used a piece of rubber sidewall from an old tire to fashion a new cushion washer and originally there was a large fender type washer used before the lock washer and nut.. Bill

I love basket cases, especially Willys, Overland or Knight's. But sadly, your words are true. It would have to be at giveaway prices. If it were a cabriolet or a roadster you would stand a bit of a chance but then most likely only to someone who already collects that marque. I've already got lots of extra parts including 4 spare engines. Good Luck, Bill

Location, Location,Location. Can you share some photos of the interior? Thanks Bill

If you can't find a listing online, you may have to take measurements and find one that fits. I had to do this for my 31 Willys a few months ago. Here's a few pages from Gates that lists some popular thermostats. Good Luck, Bill

If you have a v8 303ci - Napa has them available. https://www.napaonline.com/en/search?text=Thermostat&referer=v2 I'm sure other vendors have them too. Good Luck, Bill

Great looking car. Red is a great color for a Whippet. Bill

Check and see if 'Bestoffercounts' has and used or visor parts. He is on ebay and has a website. Location - Pa. https://bestoffercounts.com/ I've bought from him before and all was good. Bill

A locksmith is my next stop. I wasn't sure if this lock took a standard key that was used on many Westinghouse locks. My Whippet takes a common BS #42 key that is sold on ebay quite often. I was hoping the Yale 928 was the same. Thanks Bill

The ignition key cylinder is stamped YALE 928 K. We're hoping that a key could be made from this info. The car has a Westinghouse ignition. The car is a 1925 Sterling-Knight Am I correct in assuming I could get a key made from this info? Where? Any idea if the transmission lock would take to the same key? Any photos of this type of key to give me an idea of what it might look like? Thanks in advance, Bill

My listing says that 6 cyl. Hupp 1926-31 takes a 2 1/2" x 16 tpi puller George McMurtry passed away a year or two ago. His pullers are awesome. Good Luck Bill

My list is not too unusual but probably not too common either: Chandler Touring or Roadster 1924 Maxwell Model 24 (my Mom learned to drive this car and I told her I'd be the caretaker of one someday) Willys-Knight (Stearns-Knight, Sterling-Knight or Brewster would be OK too) 20's Packard - most any model would do If one came available I'd have another problem. I'd have to sell something to make room for it. Oh, the problems of the antique car hobby....... Bill

Roundabouts can work very well but can be a real experience while vacationing. We're getting a 'Divergent Diamond' interchange to hopefully prevent accidents. Fingers crossed ........ Go to the 42 second marker to begin the show and tell of the new design Anyone ever seen one of these....or driven on one? Bill

Even better. Thanks much, Bill

I'm ultimately looking for the king pin set but I'd like to know what part number I should be looking for at swap meets or Ebay. I've looked at lots of kingpins over the past year and thought if I knew what number (s) I need, much time could be saved. Any manufacturer part number (Moog, McKay Norris, etc.) would be helpful 1931 Willys Model 97 2dr Landau Coupe Size - 3/4" dia x 5 7/16" length Thanks for any help you can provide. Bill

Here's a few early Overland's - 1903 and 1904 Production numbers: 1903 Model 13 - 11 cars, 1904 Model 15 - 23 cars, 1905 Models 15,16,17,18 - total 36 cars, 1906 Model 18, 19, 20 - 12 cars 1903 Overland

Great old family photo. Thanks for Sharing. Below is a photo of my Mom sitting on the apron/running board of her Dad's early Maxwell. I believe it's a 1924 Model 25C. My grandfather still had the car in 1936 when my Mom learned to drive. She hated that car because it was big and she had trouble turning the steering wheel. All her other friends had newer, fancier cars. I told my Mom years ago that I would find an old Maxwell like the one she learned to drive and become it's caretaker. Still looking....... Bill

Scanned ad copy sent via email. Others on the forum have original ads that they may share with you. My scans were from James Lackey's book, so credit goes his way. Not sure if a copy of a copy has good enough resolution to suite your needs. Good Luck, Bill

Worked OK for me. Took me right to the article. Bill

Since the Nailhead is an externally balanced engine.....any chance the flywheel is not mounted correctly? That will give you an uneven idle that could be mistaken for a carb problem. RivNut diagnosed this problem with my Buick a few years ago. Good Luck Bill
