I don't have the 734Z group sheet but many Delco starters in that range used a leather washer on the C.E. end as Bloo suggested. I remember them being about 1/16" thick.

I am sorry about your bad luck on both counts. I do have one unidentified spider can you post measurements and do you know the shaft size?

New old stock AC pump box number 3412, pump number 3448. This pump has both a fuel pump and a separate vacuum pump. I found application info for Divco and White using the Continental G 4193 in the early sixties. There may be more vehicles I just don't know. The pump has also been around since the early sixties and would need new diaphragms. $70 including shipping in the US, elsewhere we will need to talk.

This may not help but an AC Vintage vehicle chart I have shows C86 as the AC plug for Model 8-78, and all others as C77. The C86 is a 18MM the C77 is a 7/8 plug.
We can try crossing what is in it?

What specifically is it that you find hard when you are driving it? It maybe the nature of the vehicle or something that can be fixed.
Sitting outside it will not increase in value.

My Grandparents bought this new in April 1939, I picked it up in 1972. It had about 70,000 miles when I picked it up and now has 106,000. Still runs good.

Good advice so far, it would not hurt to ask on this site as well. Lot's of early Chevy experts there.

Very difficult situation. Only chance would be tell him your story and hope your emotion will move him. Lot's of those trucks around , you could find another to do.
Good luck

Need to know what kind of car.
If it is a Chevy you might also try asking on this site ; http://vcca.org/forum/ubbthreads.php/forum_summary

The Filling Station sells them FG-1 is rubber, FG-3 is cork/rubber. I would be very surprised if you can't find them locally. Bob's may also have them and you can get other Buick treasures to spread out the shipping.
The Filling Station is a Chevy/GMC parts source. The gasket also comes with gas filters such as GF124.
Good Luck
Dave
Bob's has them too FBG-295, check the size to be sure it will work.

AC made several sizes of glass bowls, what is the diameter of yours?

Try Rick's Radiator, Azusa, CA

Tom,
The hub shaft from my 31, 60 series, measures 4.790 overall. From the gear face to the middle of the groove 4.000 and .790 from the middle of the groove to the end. My measuring is not the best so use it as an approximation.
I would not need one at this point, a great guy on this forum fixed me up.

Nice job on getting the 36 for your dad, well done!

Prestolite 14 7 crosses to AC 45. I would ask the men who own them what they are using, is there a Packard forum?
On the wide gap the side electrode is longer and more able to withstand a wide gap. They started being used a lot when HEI (high energy ignition) came out.

In an old car AC catalog they show the plug 46 for 31-36 Packard's with 14mm plugs. 46 was a non resistor and discontinued many years ago, replaced by R46 which is a resistor plug that helps with radio interference. R46 is not available either but can be found on ebay once in awhile. The currently available plug is R45, slightly cooler than the R46.
X stands for special or wide gap.

It may be the way I am conducting the test or I do not understand how it is supposed to look , but I don't trust the nickel double image test.
Every piece of glass I test shows two images. Plate glass from a 31 Cabriolet, the 31 Buick, the 39 Chevy, and even my 2006, 2500 with tempered glass.
Any thoughts on how to determine plate vs. safety other than breaking it? There are no imperfections. The glass in the Buick measures .210, the safety plate in the 39 Chevy measures .280.
Thanks for your ideas

Good luck and I know you know not to get the starter to hot by cranking away. I really like the idea(s) of getting the fuel up to the pump with the vacuum pump.

When starting my 31 Chevy for the first time with everything dry it took forever to get fuel to the pump and carb. Nothing was wrong it just took way longer than I ever expected.
