Another good source for Chevrolet info is the vintage Chevrolet site. Good luck.

If you are trying to sell this I would suggest more info on the car and it's condition and many more pictures. Inside, under, interior, engine, and rumble area.
Dave
Price and location would be helpful as well.

It looks like the heater installation took out the other tag.

I have been using a soft wash cloth and water on my running boards. Not much gets on them but dust from my shoes.

I did have to use my drill press to take a little off a pilot bushing. I used a bolt through a rubber core the bushing went around. With a nut and washer I was able to tighten it so I could, as mentioned above, remove material with a file until it fit. It has been working fine for years but maybe I was lucky.

5/16 is right. Whoever made my braces used the wrong size thread.
Thanks

I am looking for 2 for a 31 Chevrolet Cabriolet. The ones I have are 5/16 fine and don't fit my top brace I need 1/4 20. Your first picture 1-5 have the right look as far as the thumb screw.

I could use 2 of the first batch if they are quarter 20 thread.

I think I remember the post and it may have been Edinmass talking about how hard it was finding the original AC plugs for one of the big classics he works on and was getting it ready for a major show. Many of the early 30's AC's had a letter and a number like G12 and G14 (29-32 Chevy) but they changed the numbering system early on so they are hard to find.

I did find one in a 85U box but the unit itself is not marked 85U. Could be a core or non Delco unit stored in the box. Whatever happened it was long ago. Look at the pictures and see if you want it as a core. To me it looks good but I have no way of testing it. Fifty dollars for the core and thirty for shipping.

I would like to have a set of instruction, that would be very helpful. I will pm you my address. I bought a Consew RB 206 walking foot a year ago and have been practicing. It has a clutch motor which is a little scary but there is another type motor I am going with that is more controllable.
Thanks

Thanks again for posting this thread with all the detail and photos. I have referred to it many times and will continue to as I try and finish my 31 Chevy Cabriolet. I received the samples from LeBonney/Hampton but that was as far as I got. Your detailed pictures a least give me a shot at doing the trim work myself.
Too bad the materials and patterns never surfaced from them you would think there would be enough demand to make it work.

No luck yet confirming what I have will work. I believe your original Delco number is 1102769 and I am having trouble confirming the ones I have will work. From another post it looks like you have it on the road. How is it doing?

The end frames were not necessarily steel. Many are cast alloy which can be damaged if dropped or mis handled. Yours may have been damaged in the past and hidden with paint.

I should have a good core you can use to rebuild or for parts. What car does it go on and are there any Delco numbers on your unit?

My 24 Chevrolet with a cone clutch does this when getting started. I found using the hand throttle instead of the gas pedal helps as well as shifting as soon as it is moving as mentioned above.

You may know this but the armature you are looking for is 818002. There are a couple of nos Delco Remy on ebay right now. I have a used one I had checked and the commutator turned and the special screws and locks if you get stuck.
Good luck

The EP-2 was a heavy duty 6 volt accessory pump. It may have had specific catalog application but if it did it would have been under the long number. It was a good pump and if my photos of the catalog and specs ever load I will post them.

Going on 45 years with the 62 it has been a lot of fun. I need to finally restore it since it is getting a bit shabby but so far lack the motivation.

I use S&H Plating in Madison TN (Nashville). Good and fast. Not cheap.
A second on S & H. I drove my parts there from Atlanta to see the place after a club member recommendation. They shipped the parts back, very pleased.

I thought Billy Possum/C P Automotive was making the early axles but could not find them on their site, http://www.billypossum.com/Catalog/Catalog.php.
Might be worth a phone call. Lot's of other good parts.

I looked at the instructions of a P 4259 Carter I have in stock and it says it should never be used as a booster pump with the mechanical pump in place, it should always be used separately. I want to use it on my Buick and now I am not sure since I want to keep the mechanical pump.

Similar to EmTree but I roll it out between the floor and the baseboard. Works great.

Walker 93632 Floor Jack Problem
in Technical
Posted
I had a 50 year old Walker rebuilt by a jack specialist and the cost was reasonable. At the time it was a little more than a cheap off shore jack. The rebuilder did say the older American jacks were much better than what you can buy now but he did have a dog in the fight.
