Checking an old Champion catalog the cross for AC 46 is Champion # J11C. There is danger in using cross reference info for application.
Hope this helps.

I am using factory (AC) books. Let me check the cross in a few more but again I would use the AC plugs recommended.
-
I am not sure about the cross, my AC book shows RJ12C crossing to C49. C49 would be beyond the heat range recommended by the manufacturer. What exactly on the plug is 3X times longer?
Hot plugs, like a 49, have been know to melt holes in pistons.
I have more books and will check further but I would use what the manufacturer recommended.

Measuring from the base where the gasket sits on the plug to the tip;
Green Stripe made by AC
R46 - 2.236
44 (should be the same as 46) - 2.236
Currently available ACDelco
R45 - 2.496
Vintage of the car AC
46 - 2.202
You can get the current ACDelco at most any parts outlet. The green stripe plugs seem common on ebay, the stripes are around the insulator.
Hope this helps

I have some bases for 29-32 Chevrolets, pump 405. I can't research if they would work but if you do I have them. You would have to change the arm..

Thanks

What are the numbers/letters stamped into the bearing, I can't read them in the picture.

This is a great site and source. You will have to look around but they have the step by step Carter instructions and troubleshooting. Their kits are worth the extra money.

I hope so too. When you said antique I was thinking pre war. There should be more saved for the newer vehicles. The info you need may have been donated to the AACA library?

I don't think they were deemed important once production stopped and the years past. The offices would move and the old stuff went in the trash. I do not believe much is left at the manufacturing headquarters. GM has made some info available at the heritage site maybe others have as well.

The tires I have bought from Coker have been wrapped very well. I wonder if being sealed like that and stored inside in a fairly cool warehouse would extend their born on date?

Great truck, love the key fob.

If you have a spare cap George can work from that if you dare trust it in the mail.

The Cardone fuel pumps appear to be using the AC numbering system. Just drop the number before the dash and you have the AC number. One that stuck out was 40987 which was a very popular Chevy v 8 pump. If you don't have an AC catalog make a list post or pm me the list I can try and give general applications as time permits. Delco rebuilt carbs were discontinued in the early eighties , I will look to see if I saved a catalog.

Thanks for the info.

I should add it normally runs at 160 and when I say hot it is up around 170 to 180. I did do a search and found the heat riser can be a problem but would it run well at times and then not with pin holes in the heat riser tubes?
Thanks

My new to me 31 , 60 series Buick 66S, runs great when the outside temp is around 60 and I make no stops. If I stop to get gas and start out again it starts to backfire thru the carb. If I pull the choke out about 1/2 of an inch it smooth's out and runs fine. I can slowly push the choke back in without problems. My guess is it is something heat related. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

I searched facebook for "Antique and Vintage Car Parts" and was not available.

The serial number plate on a 39 Master Deluxe is mounted the cowl , passenger side, under the hood (not on the firewall). The Fisher Body plate is in the same location.
More info on the engine number, looking at the engine-fuel pump/distributor side, the stamping is just left of the distributor on a raised pad.

Sounds good. Need to swap Copperhead and shotgun stories. I prefer a 20 ga.

Did you find the engine you are looking for, need to let my friend know to stand down or not.
Copper fuel line on vintage car
in Technical
Posted
You don't say what car you have but many early cars had brass rather than copper. Copper will work harden and may break. NAPA sells bulk fuel line in different sizes you may consider that. What size is the tube, OD?
