The 1939 Studebaker Commander has to have the bellhousing dial-indicated onto the engine to make sure the pinion shaft is parallel to the crankshaft and gearbox main shaft, otherwise the front bearing doesn't do well and the gears don't mesh properly. Does the Cadillac require this too? If they didn't do it, you may get noise.

thanks Spinneyhill I never heard of that I will do some research and see

My problem is I took my 1940 Cadillac to my mechanic to replace seals in the trans to clear up some leaks. When I got it back the trans was making noise and vibration only in second gear. It seemed okay if you didn't put pressure on the gas, but as soon as you did it would make this loud rumbling noise. It would also happen when down shifting into second. This was only in second gear. I took it back to the mechanic they took it all apart and couldn't find anything wrong. The car was then towed to a transmission shop and they can't find the problem. They sent the trans to their sister transmission shop and still no answers. Anybody run across something like this. It's going on three weeks now.

Thanks for any input:confused:

can someone tell if the fuel sending unit on a 1937 Chevy is on the top of the tank in the middle or on one side. Looked for pictures but it shows a lot of different tanks. This is a stock tank I'm talking about.

Thanks for any information:)

thanks for all the input. I do have the Oakland Pontiac Manual, and have read it several times. I just can't seem to get the brakes to work like I think they should. I do not have Midland Steeldraulic brakes they are banded brakes as stated in the book. They mention a rounding tool, I know what it looks like but not how to use it. I had the brakes all relined several weeks ago and the hubs turned, it seemed to work for a little bit but then I had to start pushing harder and harder on the brakes to stop. Now I have all the wheels off checking seals and ready to adjust them one more time. I guess I haven't found the secret yet.

October 28, 2014

Sorry I forgot Yes it is a 1929 Oakland Sedan I was just out looking at the shoes and I wonder if the pads are to hard. They are new and fell so rough and hard

October 28, 2014

Hi guys Does anybody have some information on how to properly adjust band brakes. I just had new shoes put on and I'm having a hell of a time.

Thought I report back what I ended up with today on this wiring problem. took the headlights apart and the tail lights checked all the wires from the back to the front and check wires and connections under the dash. All seems to check out OK but maybe a problem with the connectors in the headlights and tail lights. The last thing I ran across today was when the ignition is on lights I have no tail light. when the switch is turned to the left (lights) I have headlights and running lights and brake lights all at once. Tomorrow I plan to start with the brake/running light and replace the connector and ground and do continuity check on the two wires running thru the loom. Also today I checked the brake light switch seems to work fine. Side lights seem to work like their suppose to. Headlights are disconnected for now.

September 13, 2014

Larry thank you for your thoughts I worked on it today and everything looks good that I checked I have to get into it deeper I now noticed the lights only come on when I hit the brake and the car is off couldn't get them to do that when the car was running

September 12, 2014

Thanks for the advise I start trying to find the problem tomorrow. It looks to me that this is the original wiring harness and yes I have always had brake lights.

It seems to me that all the lights work the way there suppose to except when I step on the brake the headlights and side lights come on. Also sometimes the brake light sticks on. I'll check out the wires and also the brake light switch and try to see whats up. Thanks again for the help

September 11, 2014

Sorry I forgot to put the car information. Its a 1928 Oakland and it runs good but I just noticed this problem. No test were done yet that I am aware of. I'm not looking for anyone to fix this for me, just suggestions what to look for. I will find the problem if I have to wire the whole car Thanks

September 11, 2014

My problem is when I step on the brake the headlights and side lights come on. Is it the brake light switch or what? I just checked all the wires under the dash and all looks good. Any suggestions would be helpfull
