No problem shipping to the UK, sent a water pump last week. My email is kelsey@prairieinet.net Thanks!

If it turns out you have a bad dash gauge, I probably have a NOS one. Kurt 641-648-9086

Assuming you are talking about a 1935 8 cylinder 223 c.i. engine, the only seals are the two wooden blocks that fit in the rear main caps. I have them. Give me a call 641-648-9086 Thanks!

I bought this ‘36 Dodge for $55 at an auction in Garden City, Iowa in 1958. It was a great car. After 2-3 years I sold it for $150 and thought I was real smart. I did have a lot of fun driving it including using it for my driving test to get my license.

drwatson: Is that a '36 Dodge business coupe in your picture? If so, do you have an extended history of it? I used to have one.

The couple riding in this car are my great grandparents. She died in 1915. Any help with the car? Thanks!

Most of these carbon T/O bearings have a grease zerk on them. Keep them well greased. That will help on clutch shudder and T/O bearing wear. There should be a good picture of the clutch linkage assembly and any return springs in a Buick Master Parts Book from the era.

Sorry, I had my head up my you know what. I was thinking about head bolts on the engine.

1940 Pontiac Shop Manual says torque to 60#. Same bolts and essentially the same engine. Use the tightening sequence shown in the manual.

Her's a picture of my '34 Pontiac. It is a model 301 2-door sedan. It was a true barn find about 15 years ago. It has 54,000 miles and is a nice running car. The fenders have been repainted, but the body paint is all original as is the interior and chrome except for some NOS hubcaps.

Yes, it is a 1934 Pontiac. I see it has the optional Flying Maiden radiator cap and RH windshield wiper. Nice car.

All 1937 and 1938 Pontiacs used the GM "B" body. The six cylinder cars were 117" wheel base and the 8 cylinder ones were 122" The extra 5" was all in the front end, hood fenders and longer frame, from the windshield back, they were all the same. I would agree that the LaSalle was a "B" body and parts would interchange on the bodies. One crazy thing about these 4 door convertibles is that the front seat is not adjustable. It is fastened solid to help support the body and make up for no roof on the car for support. Not good for tall people.

Backup light switch for a standard transmission, not sure of the exact application., probably late 50's thru 60's era.

I think keiser31 nailed it. Looks like a’27 Nash. Thanks!

I always thought it was 1928 until the four bolt wheels were pointed out to me. They were both a couple of farm kids who had just graduated from Iowa State. Maybe they took the wheels and tires off of a donor car.

My dad went on trip from Iowa to Calgary in 1932. They drove this car. Thanks!

The only two years they were made were '37 with 1266 produced and '38 with 519 produced. They were available in 6 or 8 cylinder models.

This 1937 Pontiac 4 door convertible sedan was owned by Dick Choler in Elkhart, In and sold at auction around 2001 after his death. I was heavily involved with the restoration of this car in the early 80’s. I have lost track of it and would like to know it’s whereabouts. Thanks!

I can help you with many of the engine parts you will need. The first thing I would tell you is do not grind the crank or bore the block until you have the bearings and pistons in hand. Some of the sizes are very hard if not impossible, so do your homework. Once you know some of the engine parts and sizes you need, send me an email. kelsey@prairieinet.net or call 641-648-9086. I take Visa, Mastercard and would be happy to ship to Australia by US mail. Thanks! Kurt Kelsey Antique Pontiac Parts

What axle ratio do you have, and what are you changing to?

John, So that now you have your transmission fixed, what's next? Engine overhaul or higher speed rear end gears? I'm still worried you will get a ticket for obstructed view with that cloudy glass.

I have the parts you bought in the NORS kit in NOS, genuine Pontiac in case your post gets anyone else in the mood to fix their sloppy shifter.

The parts book calls it a cushion spring. Group 4.383 part # 553715 This is from a 1940 Pontiac Master Parts Book.

The small holes in the original are orifices to limit the oil flow. If you replace them with standard hoses, you will starve your bearings for oil. You would be better off to plug the holes and take the filter off.
