Are referring to the brass fittings? If they are seated properly they will not leak. I have had problems when they great over tighten. The brass had a small hairline crack.

Mine was dark red. Yes they were fast but that Corvair transaxle was very weak.

How hard is it to get parts for a Dodge Victory Six?
stakeside replied to Matt129's topic in General Discussion
Got any pictures of the engine. Curious if it is a DA6 engine. A complete engine rebuild can be quite expensive depending on the condition of the block. My DA6 block was in very bad shape. My complete rebuild engine cost $8000. I was fortunate to have the Steward carb. A great carb. -
This one that should not be restored. Very few of these left. The seat would be easy to repair.

1928/29 Model 72/75 rear main seal
stakeside replied to BlueDevil's topic in Chrysler Products - General
If the oil reservoir behind the rear oil can not contain the oil flow it will overflow and drip out the bell housing. It may be the rear bearing is in poor shape the wear will allow excessive oil flow to the reservoir. -

Are these engines similar to the Dodge Bros engines? -
I still have the original copper lines in my 29 Dodge Bros truck and they do not leak. There are many fittings in the lines. I have had problems with some of the brass fittings, They were cracked because of over tightening. Curious what brake fluid are you using. I believe the DOT 5 fluid tends to weep more than DOT 4.

Question on 1926 Studebaker Truck Rims
stakeside replied to Roadster Willy's topic in General Discussion
Could you post a picture. I am curious if they are Firestone rims. -

Not familiar with Buick trans but my 29 Dodge bros trans does not use seals in the trans. The trans used 600 wt oil. It appears almost like tar. Never had leakage if filled correctly.

Great truck. Got any pictures to share.

1929 Chrysler 65 Crankshaft main rear bearing seal
stakeside replied to Sasha39's topic in Chrysler Products - General
I do not know the type of seals for this engine but my 29 Dodge DA6 uses the oil sling system. Excess oil goes to a reservoir in the oil pan and drains into the pan. I found that excessive main bearing wear would produce more oil than reservoir could handle resulting in the reservoir overflowing. -
I purchased a BB1 carb and believe it to be a much later version than the original 1929 one. It never would work on my 1929 DA6. I had the original Steward carb rebuilt and it runs great.
