Bolt on style fenders were common on old cars. I would guess this is a 40's item from the shape and paint color but for the make, we'll need a better expert than me to ID it. Terry

Catalog is SOLD! Thanks, Terry

Champion and Auto-Lite catalogs are sold. Blue Crown catalog is still available. Terry

If the distributor was put in incorrectly it will throw off the firing order. You might want to get the timing marks aligned and see where the rotor is pointing. You will need to have #1 cyl on compression stroke to TDC to check this. Terry

Sounds like you have a grounding issue or maybe a wire rubbed through that is touching metal. These are always fun to fix. The battery going dead on its own is a indicator of unwanted current flow in the wiring. It would be best to disconnect the battery terminals until you get it fixed to prevent a fire. Terry

That one is newer than I expected. It mentions charging maintenance free batteries so its much later than my Snap-on unit and newer than anything in my literature collection. A good freind of mine operated a Phillips 66 station for many years. I don't recall him having a Phillips 66 specific battery charger but he did have a roll around unit that he probably got from NAPA as that was his favorite place to get supplies. Terry

Well its NOT 1930-41, at least my catalog doesn't show it for any of those years. The catalog ends with 1941 8 cyl as McCord 6124 so I'm guessing its a little later. Terry

The Motors manual and the Chilton manual will cover many brands besides your Chrysler. They are on ebay. Look up Motors manuals and you will see what I mean. The edition, such as 20th, 14th, ect will determine the years it covers. You will most likely want a 21st edition or earlier. Terry

Have you looked at the Motors or Chilton repair manuals? I find them to be a good supplement to the factory manual in that they were written for repair garages and have procedures that can complement the "how to" descriptions in the shop manual. Prices are reasonable too, from about $15 to $35. Terry

I applaud your choice of a blackwall tire. The use of whitewalls is way overdone in my humble opinion. Good luck in your search. Terry

Looks a lot like a Buick shape. Terry

Looks like it might be a Delco 825430 aka DR193 in the Standard Motor Products catalog. IF it is, its for Elcar 1930, Graham 1930-31, Graham Paige 1929,Kissel 1929-31 and Studebaker 1928-31. Terry

You will need to know if you have a single action pump or a dual action pump. The dual action has a second chamber to create a vacuum source for the wipers. My parts books show both dual action and single action were used in 1938-42 Desotos. Regardless of the type of action, the pumps are the same for 1938-42. That is, a standard pump w/o secondary chamber is the same from 1938-42 and if it has the second chamber, it too is the same from 1938-42. Terry

I was vague in my question. I was looking for the timeframe of the battery charger, like 30's 40' 50's ect. The ebay link you posted is similar to the Snap-on charger I have. I had (but sold) three nos 1940's chargers made by the Allen company that were able to charge up to 5 batteries at a time. They were much smaller than your e-bay item and were more of a trickle charger that would have been used by battery dealers to keep their inventory ready to use. Terry

My Standard Motor Products catalog from 1939 shows the cap to be DR-197 and rotor is DR-149. DR-149 rotor is also used on Packard 1926-27, the cap is only shown to be used on 1930-31 Cadillac and 30-31 LaSalle. Kanter may rotor and wires. Terry

Saw it twice, once in Hagerstown MD and the other in Hazelton PA. Enjoyed both times. Its neat to see all the cars involved. At that time the sponsor was Interstate Batteries. haven't seen it recently under the new sponsors. Terry

Any idea of the timeframe for this item?? I have several pieces of literature on battery testers that I can check. Terry

Richard, I took a look at my 1939 Chrysler Shop manual supplement and in the water pump service section it says to remove the bypass elbow as part of the pump removal process so it seems your '39 originally had one. My 37 Dodge had a bypass and for the life of me I can't seem to remember where the heater hose attached to the water pump. Best wishes, Terry

Take it to the show. You will meet many helpful people there and you will lean a lot about your car from fellow Buick fans. Post some pics here too. Terry

Looks like a 1925 Somthnerother coupe. Could be a 1926 too. :confused: Terry

Dodge did not make a V-8 in 1950. Might be 1954 trim based on the Royal V8 emblem. Terry

The little hose between the water pump and the thermostat housing is the by-pass you asked about Richard. You can see it in the 1935 Chrysler picture in Rusty's link to allpar. The elbow has its own little gasket that goes between it and the water pump housing. Didn't know you needed a heater in your location!! Terry in PA
