Ok so I finally found the vacuum port in the manifold. Someone had put a 1/4-20 bolt in it. So was this port treaded from the factory? If so where can I find a vacuum tree to crew back in it? Thanks in advance.

just under 1 lb

So It doesn't hook to the intake it is directly to the pump. thanks, does anyone know how much vacuum is created by the pump?

Hello, how much vacuum at idle should the pump generate? Also I do not see anyplace for the vacuum hose from the wiper motor to hook to the intake manifold. Does anyone have a picture? Thanks in advance.

Nice truck and thanks again everyone. I am in need of a splitdorf mag switch. as seen in these pics. The 1st pic is mine the 2nd I wish LOL

Greg, during original assembly wouldn't the connecting rods be assembled from coming down from the top?

thanks, yes I began soaking with linkages and everything from day 1 and put mouse milk down the cylinders. a week after that I started with ATF.

Greg, yes I have been in touch with Dave, very knowledgeable and he sent me a copy of the manual he has. I was looking for something that shows the head coming off. I assume the head is separate from the cylinders and that the cylinders are separate from the lower block?

Hello all, this truck is now in our possession. Its a nice truck. Thanks Dan! My question is , does anyone have an exploded view of the engine? I would like to see what I am getting into before we start. Thanks ahead of time, Chester

Hello all, I need help with rear coil springs for a 65 Riviera. Any leads would be much appreciated. Thanks Chester

yes the gas is old. Thanks all!

I pulled the head found all the intake valves are sticking. I have been spraying carb cleaner and parts cleaning fluid into the valve openings then cranking have 4 out of 6 snapping shut. I will update later. And the spark plug is located over the intake valve on this one.

I take it that the intake valve is just below the plug opening? If they are stuck what is the best way to go about freeing them up?

are the lifters in these hydraulic or solid?

It ran a couple weeks ago. All the valves stuck?? I don't think so. The timing marks on the timing gears are still aligned.

Ok so the car ran fine went to start it up and it sounded as if it had no compression. So I pulled the pulls to look into the cylinders while cranking nothing moving. I assumed that i broke the timing chain or gears. I pulled the timing cover only to find everything intact as should be and still in alignment. Then I think about pulling dist. cap off then crank only to find that the distributor is turning. then i run a compression test no compression. Am I missing something?? Thanks in advance.

Thanks !!

hello, anyone know of a place where i can get this gasket? I keep striking out. its a straight 6. Thanks in advance

Hello, how do you go about removing the drive mechanism for the top on the passenger side? Thanks in advance.

I am looking for the ignition diagram. We just got in a 28 model 36 and they ignition system has one side hooked to the correct dual ignition switch and the other 6 plugs hooked to a toggle switch. I would love to correct this. Thanks in advance

Hello, I am in need of a 1929 Auburn fuel pump. I have been told the part number is J1-132. My Pump says AC on it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

hello all, we just got a 28 series 36 in. 6 cylinder dual ignition. The previous owners has one set of plugs hooked to the " double" ignition pull switch and the other set to a toggle switch laying in the glove box left of the column. Does anyone know the correct wiring for it? I am thinking that the toggle wires should go to the keyed switch but it is seized up so they went this route. Thanks in advance!

I found it under floor board left side http://clubs.hemmings.com/hupmobile/number.html

I understand what you are saying we also found the serial number on the frame as well. We literally got boxes of old photos and newspaper articles about this car. We have an original 1911 Model T Torpedo in collection as well.
