  1. studebaker cars were champion plug equipped. they were the take apart variety in this era. 17 I worked on had 3/4 pipe thread plugs. they are available modern from napa. take aparts are available from snyder antiques as they were common to model t fords as well

  2. yes you will have to remove the front balancer starter chain, and the distributor. to facilitate the removal of the front timing cover. inside the cover the drive gear is retained by a nut and keyed to the shaft. on the out side the impeller is retained by a tapered pin. accessed after the hoses and the housing are unbolted. shaft can then be pulled out of the casting.

  3. Recently has a failure in the generator drive at the gear end. is anyone reproducing a gear set for the front end of the big and special sixes. a cursory gance at the parts books has part number 16984 shared series 19 cars to series 22 cars. 23 and 24 series cars are part number 24527, and a new number again in 25 of 109036. now what I dont know if they are the same part with a superceded number. I don't have any service letters indicating that. so with that are they available new or nos maybe. Thanks 

  4. Why do you need to pull the oil pump? If it is an oil priming question there is a plug on the top of the oil pump. pull it out prime the pump with an oil can should be good to go. this is a circulating splash system. expect to see 1 to 3 psi hot on the gauge at idle, depending on bearing clearance.
