I have a some 738G starters. Two have clean commutators and long brushes so it looks like someone long ago refreshed them. The best one will need to be gone through just to make sure everything is good and painted. I motored it and it seemed very strong.
If interested send me a pm.

One thing I did that helped with sanding my fenders is I made a flexible sanding block with plexiglass and taped a heater hose on the back so I had something to grip. It was about two feet by the width of the sand paper. I used the roll tape mentioned above and it would curve to the fender contour and sand evenly. If that makes any sense.

Ron,
No I still have it.

I thought those numbers looked familiar, same as my 39 Chevy and all 216 Chevrolets up to 1953. The point set for the above numbers is 1855720 short number D100. I also think there is also a more modern set you can use but the number escapes me.
I do have 3 lifetime supplies of the D301 and the D400 if you wish to buy them from me send a private message.

The cap is 824735, short number D301, rotor 820445, short number D400, point plate 821150, lever 813238. Condenser 1900272, short number D201. These are Delco numbers but they look like fairly common parts. The internet or a local ACDelco or NAPA place should be able to get you going.

I wonder if the holes are for the original oil filter. My 31 60 series also has the holes but the original filter has been replaced with a cannister filter. They are in the right general area.

All the spin on filters I have used have the specific tightening instructions on the label. I only use AC filters so maybe it is only on that brand. I tighten the filter to where the gasket just touches and then the filter instruction turns.

Both are very nice, thanks for posting.

I answered in the other post but the 660e is correct and the 662b superseded the 660e according to Delco-Remy. Should be the same.

My 31 66s has a 660E.
The July 1, 1956 Delco-Remy parts history shows the 660E was superseded by the 662B.

I have been learning (the hard way) as I go painting a 31 Chevrolet. I am using single stage urethane paint. I debated the need for a fresh air system but went ahead and bought a Hobby Air System from Eastwood. In the end I did not want to risk hurting myself and I will spread the cost ($750 or so) over several projects. It works well and it is very satisfying when the painting, sanding, and buffing go well.

Kenny, I just saw your reply I must not have set the notification right. Can you send me some photos of the wheels and parts? Close up on the wheels. Send me a pm and I will pass on my contact info.

Mr. Reed,
Lots of good advice. I had to take mine apart but knew that going in. One thing that kept me going was I joined a marque club and the local region. I went to the meetings and met other crazy guys restoring old cars. An older gentleman that had done dozens of the same type car would handle all my questions, share parts, and even come by every couple of months and give me encouragement and help. I moved but still keep in touch.
It has been about ten years and I am just finishing up paint and mechanicals but I am slow!

As many of the other responders I would recommend California Car Covers. I have at least three different styles and they all have been excellent.

I posted a picture of a 5751 below. Hwellens may be on to something as the arm is slightly different but is still a push rod arm. Like you the number on the ebay pump does not show up in any of my catalogs. Then and Now should be able to help find a pump, https://www.then-now-auto.com/ .

The 31 Buick pump did not have a cam arm like I am use to seeing. It is operated by a push rod and the ebay pump looks just like my 31 Buick pump.

Not sure this will help but your radiator GM number crosses to Delco number 20907 which was the new number for 20546 which was caused by the brass to aluminum rad switch. My illustrated catalog only shows the dimensions of the old number and I don't have a later catalog than 1999. With the supersessions there were 6 rads cataloged for your vehicle. Lots of consolidation and discontinuing since then. I'll attach the illustration of 20546. It is possible the new number had different dimensions.
