[1937 Super 8 replacement distributor]

We're putting on the finishing touches on a 1937 Super 8 Coupe roadster. The correct 3-piece distributor cap is on the car, but I'd like to find a 'modern' replacement for both touring and back up. A separate set of wires will be made. The distributor is an Autolite IGT 1405. any advice on what cap might fit from NAPA or other stores? Same for points, condensor, and rotor? Thanks! glenn Hamilton

[Wanted to Buy: 18" Monocle windshield]

Glenn,

Does your casting guy have the patterns?

...or an extra set of castings?

I would like to hear a price for un-machined castings.

What is the dimension across the width of the frame?

I assume it holds a 18 in. dia glass?

what dia steering column was it made for, mine is 2"

How does the glass hold in the frame?

I've been working with these castings and have concluded they are too shallow to hold the glass properly. My plan was to have the glass epoxied in place at a glass shop. Once the groove is cut, the size of the glass increases to 18.5". It's a big piece of glass for the support these castings give. The clamps for the steering column would fit a 2" diameter without problem. Mine is 2.25" and that is too much. All in all, I'm back at square one, and continuing to look for an original monocle windshield. Thanks, Glenn

[Question about Model A era Windshield Wiper Identification]

That Heinze wiper certainly looks very similar to the correct Owen Dyneto wiper that was on my 1929 Phaeton, which I also no longer own. I am not looking at any documents and just going from memory. From memory I think that there were some Heinze wipers that were correct for 1929 but I have no knowledge about them. Perhaps it is an Owen Dyneto wiper that someone put the wrong cover on? The guy who restored my wiper on my Phaeton would be the guy who I think might be able to answer your question.

Here is his website:

http://www.modelawipers.com/index.html

He should be able to tell you if it is correct for a Model A or not. Good luck.

Thank you for the response. I'll follow up, Glenn

[Question about Model A era Windshield Wiper Identification]

I've had this wiper for more than 30 years. It was a spare for my '29 Phaeton, which is now sold. As I do more research, it doesn't match any of the descriptions or drawings in the Restoration/Judging standards. So the question is, can anyone help me in identifying it, year and application? Thanks, Glenn Hamilton, Dayton, OH

[Carburetor Problems Again! Help!]

The Carter # to look for on these BB-1s is 289S. This is usually on the small brass tag attached to the bowl. This carb will certainly manage a 220 cid auto engine and larger. I've used them on a 318 cid '09 Buick and '11 Marmon and they both run very well. You can also find a conical F&N air filter to fit. The original Carter air filters are hard to come by. Rand is very knowledgeable in these carbs and matching the correct size for the engine. Also you need the correct valve and needle seat for flow in a gravity feed system, which is likely in an '09 Regal. Rand can help there also, but Ron Hewitt at Daytona Parts Co in Florida (386-427-7108) has a new seat and disc arrangement that should work. Give him a call as he knows his business and has restored every carb in every car I've owned (from '09 to '56). He refers brass carbs, such as your Schebler Model ? to Classic Carburetors in Arizona. The Carter will really improve the running and dependability...if, of course the carb is the problem. Good luck!
