I have to research the size fitting I need.

I have a 1939 Pontiac with the flathead six. It has the Vacuum assist fuel pump for the wiper motor system. I need the vacuum line from fuel pump to wiper motor.

Temp repair with JB Weld of 39 cylinder flat head six Pontiac 223 cu in

I was losing coolant and after a close look I could see a hairline crack that was opening up at operating temp. Crack would disappear after cool down. I’ve got it temp repaired with JB Weld. It’s holding on short trips however I realize I’ll need to have the head replaced.

1939 Pontiac Business coupe with 223 cu in flat head six has a crack in cylinder head. I have it temp repaired with expoxy, it’s holdjng but I know eventually I’ll need to replace the head. After searching for weeks, no luck. Anyone know where I may obtain one?

Installing NOS water distribution tube

Up date on the cooling issue with my 1939 Pontiac. The classic car gods must of looked down on me tonight. I was able to remove and replace the water distribution tube by simply tugging on original with a coat hanger. Prior to removing old tube, pulled radiator, removed water pump, disassemble water pump and found it blocked with debris. Cleaned it up and removed and replaced water tube. Now I need to order gaskets for water pump. I had to remove small portion of the front grill.

So far I've pulled the block drain to flush block and drained radiator. Was able to open up clogged block (coat hanger) and got crud filled water to flow. I poured gallon after gallon of water down opening where thermostat sits. Found no thermostat installed. I'll install correct thermostat and gasket (parts on order) fill coolant system then ops test, flush to see where I'm at. The fan belt I ordered is wrong one. I need to research p/n order another.

poured gallon after gallon of water down where thermostat sits and drained it through the hole from the removed pet cock, block drain on LH side. Eventually water drained clear from a thick muddy consistency. Had to apply shop air to back flush to get initial water to drain. It's a start. Previous owner was running without a thermostat too.

Well, making progress on the 39 Pontiac cooling system. Drained radiator and block. Removed block drain and nothing came out. Some air pressure and drained a whole lot of crud.

Good eye. It's an extra one that previous owner probably dropped
