Roger,
Yes, I did remove the paint. There was il on the surface so it came off easily.
Thanks.

Interesting footnote. I got this Pilot Ray light from Preston Tucker's great-grandson. He has Tucker #18. I guess you don't need a Pilot Ray if you have a Tucker.

Here is the replacement Pilot Ray bracket with the Revell paint. I might get away with it as it is almost impossible to see

I was back on the brakes. Fill up the reservoir and in 10 min it would leak at the left rear.
This is the same leak area where I found the split hose fitting. I had replaced the line and the coupling and still had a leak.
There is a banjo bolt copper crush washer, banjo fitting, crush washer, wheel cylinder. Everything was tight.
I checked the crush washers and the ones on the car were bout .020 thinner (.065" vs .085") than the ones I had bought from a brake line supplier.
Changed to the heavier washer and leak is gone. Evidently the banjo bolt was bottoming out in the wheel cylinder before totally sealing, maybe a few thous, but enough to leak

I opted for the cut and paste method. Need to do some more sanding and use a better paint gun for some respray, but the end is in sight.

It is 5" and is the same as my 72 and 75.

It looks like it to me. Let me know if you need dimensions or other info.

Gunsmoke,
Thanks, I think you nailed it.

Mine has been off the road since the '70's due to aluminum erosion in the heads and timing chain covers. I think that is also a reason they got parked.

Ramair, I have a 1608 that is listed in the packardinfo site.

Pierce 8 left, Packard 12 right. The Pierce is a top mount.

Ed has a point. What was original to the car?

What does your air filter look like?

I’ll send some pictures.

I am not familiar with your car but I have 2 EE-3 equipped cars. Is your Imperial a down draft car?

Photos would help. They are about 12" long

I have 2 sets of these rough brass/bronze casting that I think are for a '29 or later?? roadster.
They are too long for a '28. Can anyone verify what they fit?
They will need filling, finishing, drilling , plating etc. $125 a set.

I have struggled at times getting epoxy or other 2 part compounds mixed in the proper proportion.
I have been using an old lined note pad to mix on and after years of doing it, I realized I could use the lines as a measurement.
Just run the beads between the lines to the same or proportional length then mix.

Maybe that was what Jaguar used in the E-Type engines that would blow out and dent the hood (bonnet)
