  1. I had to buy a Reed-Prince screw driver when restoring a wooden Chris-Craft speedboat. I got the screws and driver from a marine supplier. Dave
  2. It is stamped AC and Type e-18, any ideas what it fits? I would like to find a home for it. Thanks Dave
  3. This is the Cole-Hersee switch # 75908;
  4. It may work I just don't know. If I am remembering correctly the 32 had a mount on the front cross member with two bolts and a mount on each side of the clutch housing. Check how the drive shaft will end up at the 32 transmission as far as length. Attach some pictures, everyone like pictures! Dave
  5. There are quite a few threads on how to replace the exhaust manifold gasket. I would read up on how to do it without causing the manifold to crack. My 31 had the correct curved washers but I had to source one that was missing. I used a paste of oil and graphite to coat the manifold and gasket and did not overly tighten the attaching bolts. The idea is you want that large piece of unobtanium cast iron to move when it expands and contracts rather than break. I had to go back and gently snug up a few times but so far so good. Again lots of good threads on this I would search for them before doing anything. Dave
  6. Welcome The 32 is 194 ci and the 36 is a 207 ci the 207 would be better if you have it. If you can get a 39 or 40 Chevrolet parts list it will have detailed info on the springs in the back of the catalog. Here is a online site that may help https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/. The vintage Chevrolet club also has a forum which is also helpful on Chevy questions https://vccachat.org/ Dave
  7. My first name and my first old car and my Grandfathers last, 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe. Dave
  8. Probably not getting more useful or valuable sitting in the Washington woods. Why not pull it out , put it inside and see what you have? Dave
  9. Reading about corn head grease it seems it does not get hot enough in most steering boxes to liquify so it ends up channeling like grease. I mix mine with some 600w so it is always semi liquid and still does not all leak out. I have not seen anything on corn head about yellow metals but there have been many posts about it on this and other sites. Might be able to search for old posts. Dave
  10. I would also consider joining The Vintage Chevrolet Club (VCCA). Lot's of Chevy specific knowledge on their forum to add to what you get on this site. https://vccachat.org/ubbthreads.php/forum_summary.html A good parts wanted section on their forum that many with nos parts look at for your not so common parts. I use The Filling Station and Gary Wallace in Missouri. Dave
  11. Those type filters can be over tightened and it warps the metal top. They can be carefully straightened if the new gasket does not fix it. I also use The Filling Station. Dave
  12. I tried a few ways like you but found just tightening them and breaking them off was the easiest. This was a 31 Chevy so they were 1/4-20 bolts. Dave
  13. Not the same cap as on my 31 60 series. Dave
  14. The first seal in the Chevrolet parts book is 1935. They did continue the oil thrower/slinger after the seal for some period of time. Dave
