Sounds like clutch problems!

I don't think any change was made to rims specifically for radials. In the 50's, i think, Chrysler came out with the "safety rim" which had the raised bead to help prevent tubeless tires coming off the rim, but the other big 3 didn't use it .

Build it on the bench, not on the battery.

The complete suspension would have to be changed. The cantilever spring setup isn't designed to take the forward push of the drive wheels, that pressure goes on the torque tube to the motor and the big engine mounts on the clutch housing. Axle ratio is going to be 4.7, 4.9 or 5.1 to 1 depending which ring gear is installed.

Yes, that is what it is. but it goes on the front behind the fan pulley to pull the crankshaft ahead to decrease the clearance so the mag works better. ( Ya, I'd be afraid of a magnet /coil collision too.)

I don't see much stock on here. It looks like the carb has been converted to manual choke. The fast idle setup is for an automatic choke so you must step on the accelerator before pulling the knob. I m not knowledgeable on this engine in an International, but you should have a vacuum advance on the distributor. I take it this is an "upgrade" distributor, common on AMCs. , or did IH use the HEI? You also need to loose that front PCV connection and, if there is no large port on the air filter plate, just make a vent filter setup.

49 is the long wheelbase version with jump seats in the rear.

To answer the first question. If you can get the pan off with the engine in the car a ring and valve job is doable. I don't know , on a 'tang if that's easily done. A valve job is easier on that engine than a ford flathead. Rocket's comment on the intake seals is also a good one They get hard and brittle.

There are other posts on the forum about that. Apparently it's a problem with the 14 in. wheels. I don't understand the herky jerky. Is it just too sensitive in 1st or is there a mechanical slip-grab going on?

If your pump is in good shape these things can pump too fast when you are kicking it down the highway Some have put a restrictor plate in the top rad connection where a thermostat would go. 3/4 inch I believe was the size, although that doesn't look very big.

Looking good. From the pictures the gears look good too.

Another idea is to replace the rear bearing with a sealed one. The question is does the u joint get lube through the bearing or is there another path? it's years since I had one of these apart.

Partially plugged Muffler? What Bloo says? Or is it starving for fuel? does it ever backfire in the carb under load? If you have a good timing light, test it at varying speeds and see that the advance runs off the scale at 2000. ( it should)

I think the part you are referring to just pulls/prys off. The thin metal expands into the threads and holds like everything. Are you making new spokes?

The Gaskets are simple. Just make them. I don't remember there being seals.

Yes, it should. Sometimes a smaller probe was used and they just put in a pipe bushing.

As far as swapping the powerplant, anything can be done but it may be a bit of work. The motor mounts are different - 28 having a rubber in there. The length could well be different but you will need the tape measure to confirm. I think the rear axle will work with the later trans. The 128" car has a longer torque tube. . So: if the nose to tail length of the engine and trans setup is close , and you can figger out a mount setup, it would be hopeful.

29 Pontiac... I think

I though it might be a Governor for an electric variable pitch propeller but there should be a control cable lever if it is.

Not sure on smaller engine. they fit on the 320 but the pipe angle is different.

Varun comes up with the darndest car ID's

Lots of the old engines, especially flatheads have the threads going into the water jacket.

Yes. Mobiloil brand

We may need a bit more info. Battery wire goes to Bat terminal on the switch. there should be one marked IGN. this goes to coil. Do you have 6 volts on the + terminal on the coil with the switch on?
