Thanks, So far the closest is the 1/4 x 1/8 MIP hex nipple, but the 1/4 side is MIP vs pipe or whatever the flare fittings for carbs are.

I want to add a fuel sediment bowl to my system, and locate it at the carburetor. I have gone through my 200+ fittings, and can't find one that has the small 3/8" OD (approx 1/4" ID)fine thread compatible with the sediment bowl and the approx 1/2" OD (1/4" ID) larger end compatible with the coarser thread compatible with the carburetor. The closest I have has same size on the large end as the tubing fitting, but finer threads (see picture). Is there such a beast as the fitting with small end fine thread for the bowl end, and large end coarse thread for the carb??? TTA

Is that a deer sitting out front in picture 3, or a cross between a dog and a jackrabbit? Where is this located? TTA

Thank you... and for that Ebayer ID? Is this gear a press-fit removable with a regular gear puller? Thanks, Tom

You could try a temporary fuel supply to the pump using a small container of gas and a suction line (just a piece of fuel hose). If it doesn't get fuel then, you might check the fuel pump diaphragm. If it does get fuel with a temp. tank, then the fuel lines are suspect, or the uptake screen in the tank. Also, your fuel line fittings must be tight, or it will be pumping air.

Does the gear located on the front of the main shaft look bad? Or should it have the sloped/beveled appearance this one has...??? And what's going on with the pictures... this seems to come up wrong every try???

This is a big fuel pump with lots of bells & whistles, but I have no idea what it goes to. It has "Bendix Products Division Bendix Aviation Corp" on the side of the vac chamber. It was one of many items in my "early 40's to early 50's" pile.???

Add to the list of "magic potions" Belzona... the closest thing to a real weld... look for the high heat material. Pre-heating the completely disassembled block, micro-drilli ng the cracks if they end in solid matrix, and welding can fix this, but it's not a 1914 Isotta... probably cheaper to look around for another block or engine if the epoxy compounds don't work. I had a cracked VW block that lasted about two years with epoxy fix. But with a boat, you don't want it to fail somewhere where Towboat US charges as much as the new engine. Good luck, Tom

The last thing I called one of mine was a @#$%^&*( when the wrench slipped, followed by the gas tank falling on my face. TTA

NOPE... I'm going to take it apart tomorrow, and hopefully shed some light on this weird thing. Maybe another pic to follow. TTA

Here's another view.

Thanks, TTA

with wires cut off... what is it?

Marked PLYAW & PLYAV on front, and on rev. CG-22113 and CB 22254 also 1527594 and 1527564... any ideas?

picture 1939: my uncle Harold & aunt recently married... Harold always had "nice cars" per the family... and this was his third...but I can't tell what it is...any ideas? TTA

6/17/1934 Shore Road, Riverside, R.I. with "our house & car" from my grandmother's old album. The car looks like my uncle's, but the family tended to stick to similar brands. Thanks, tom

Photo 12/25/1930 My mom & aunt with two family sedans in E. Providence R.I. Any idea what the cars are? TTA

This is one from the old album, my Mom says this was the first car in Riverside R.I.. The picture is of my great grandfather William A. Williams & family in foster R.I. c.1913 with the Buick. Can anyone, from this nominal photo, tell what is the year of the Buick? TTA

Probably the '31 Ford that I learned to drive that left the family when I was in my teens. Here I am at age 12. Next comes my '56 Chev. Bel Aire hardtop... I don't think I have a digitized pic... but will be looking... At my 25th high school reuinon, most of the folks asked what ever happened to that pristine '56 Chev.... sold for $325. in 1967.

Hi Bob, Just about anything for '46-'48 Chrysler 6 cyl (Royal)... incl. stainless rear fender molding, engine parts, interior parts for 3 pass business coupe, front bumperette, brake cylinders, chrome hood ornament, etc., etc.. Tom

And bring yor '46-48 Chrysler, '23 Buick, and '31 Ford parts! Tom

I am about to convert my Subaru as shown... in the teens last night in Suffolk!

Thank you all for your help,and if there is such a thing as a lens reference publication, I would like to find one. Tom

This is 50's GM, probably Olds, but I would like to nail it down. "Guide R-3 55" Thanks

Does anyone know of a reference to ID what applications for headlight lenses. Here is an Osgood B-23, and two Liberty Type D lenses that I don't know what they go to.
