[1957 Tbird generator]

Does your manual spell out how to polarize the generator and has it been done? Maybe you don't have to on a ford system.

[Need pulley for generator]

I have  one. I would think a small rate box shipping would do. Send me a pm on what you think is a fair price.

[1929 master heat riser]

The casting number on the one I have is 146-71.

 

 

[Replace window glass with what?]

Why replace when you can repair with homemade washers and bolts as done by my cars previous owner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[1929 master heat riser]

Would you be able to provide the casting number on the old one?

 

Dave

[Can anyone tell me what car this is?]

Looks similar to Grumpy Jenkins drag Vega.

[Question about 1931-1932 Cabriolet Laundau Bar Spacers]

I will send you a pm with his contact info. He does sell them on ebay but would be happy to sell you direct.

 

Dave

[Question about 1931-1932 Cabriolet Laundau Bar Spacers]

They are very different on my 31 Chevrolet Cabriolet. Much shorter at the top. I think I got new ones from a friend that was reproducing them. I can see if he has more if your interested.

[Show me your Foliage!]

Not a lot of color,  trying to scare the spiders out of the old roadster.

 

[Which spark plug for 1956 322]

Most of my old AC catalogs show 44 or R44 but one does show " or R44S extended tip" . You didn't say what number was in it but going up one heat range to the currently available R45 might be worth a try. You should also be able to find R44S on ebay if you watch for them. Years ago the extended tip was considered by many has half a heat range hotter.

SBlomquist, What company is selling the coil you described?

 

Thanks

My info shows 52 - 54 Chevrolet cars and trucks. Superseded by AC  4149 which also references Case and Sheppard Diesel.

[1932 Chevy clutch squeeling question. Please help!]

The flip cap oiler is on the bearing it self. I am holding it open in the picture below. The early throw out bearings had replaceable carbon and the ones like that in my stock have no oiler. I suppose those were the type to put in oil but I don't know.

 

Does the squealing last for just a second or continue all the time the clutch is in?

 

Was it making noise before, why did you replace?

 

Dave

[1932 Chevy clutch squeeling question. Please help!]

Was it making noise before replacing the throw out bearing? If it is a nos bearing (not a ball bearing type) I have been told it is good to apply oil in the flip cap for a period of time so it gets to the bearing material. Some say to soak it in oil but I have not tried that.

 

It seems to me if the clutch is pushed in the pilot bearing is being used not the throw out bearing but I may not be thinking it through.

 

Dave

[help for my 1940 centry]

I hate to suggest something which you probably have done but have you polarized the system after taking the gen off each time?

[Where to get pinion nut? 1937 Special]

If 595904 is the part number for the nut you need, I have quite a few nos. Send me a pm if you are interested.

 

Dave

 

Looks like some may be nors, notice the shoulder is 90 on some and rounded on others. Let me know which matches yours.

 

 

[34 Cherolet VIN issue]

When the California Highway Patrol inspected my 31 they were not impressed with the nailed on PA serial tag but I showed them a plate that the previous owner had riveted to the frame with the same number. They passed it with no problems.

 

Dave

[1929 Chev Landaulet]

Chevrolet car sales were strong for the new six and remained so for Chevrolet until late in 1931. I think the researchers also though that Chevrolet sent one to each dealer for a traffic builder which would help the number.

[Need carb manifold for 1932 Buick 8]

I am sorry to hear of your troubles. I have never heard of James Hoade but you should let the editor know so he is not being recommended  to anyone else.

 

One other place to try is where I bought mine for the 31. They bought a large quantity of parts, mostly Packard, and have sold them here and on ebay. Might be a 32 Buick part in there?

 

Rick Lyon 518-637-1560.

ps You might try putting a wanted add in the Buick section below, may get other leads if nothing else.

[1929 Chev Landaulet]

The current estimate by those doing the research is 15,000 +. I think they have accounted for at least a 100 or so survivors. The theory is the 294/300 number came from just the Flint plant and a shorter than actual production period. Cars from almost all plants have been found.

 

Dave

[Need carb manifold for 1932 Buick 8]

I found someone with 32 risers when I was looking for one for a 31. I think it was Mac Blair 724-463-3372 , my apologizes if my memory is not accurate!

[Smoke cleared a bit and I saw this]

Did it still smell like linseed oil and turpentine ? My friends Handyman was a painters car and it always smelled of those. 

[Smoke cleared a bit and I saw this]

It has been modified some but it does look like it started as one. If you google 1955 Chevrolet Handyman many come up along with some original Chevrolet ads.

 

Its a nice car however it started. Thanks for posting the picture.

I think they called the pictured wagon a Handyman.
