  1. The axle that I am working on for a friend is in really good shape.   There isn't any play in the spindles but the real thing I wanted to do was press them out so I can clean out the oil passage ways.   He has been working on this project for over 40 years and I'm just trying to help move it along a bit faster.

  2. IFDPete,   I have been following your journey with the Buick for some time now.   I experienced a similar crack in my 1920 K 45 and found a source of cast welding in Nevada, Iowa.   Company is Midwest Cylinder Repair.   They did and excellent job of welding my block and bored and sleeved two holes for me.   1700 W  F Ave       Nevada,  IA    800-873-8506    talk to Tim.    They do large heads off tug boats for the great lakes along with over the road semi-tractor and farm tractor repairs.   They bring the item up to temperature, weld it and the cool back down over several  days.    They are usually about 2 to 3 months out on turn around.    GREAT people!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Kamil,   if you have a 13 Cadillac,  the wiring is totally different than the 12 wiring diagram.   The 12 uses two distributors and a two wire system.    The 13 has only one distributor and uses the frame as a ground.    However, they both use the same rotor, distributor cap and point set.  The contact plungers are made of a good grade of steel, not carbide.   The resistance unit you are looking for is a ceramic unit that was used by Delco equipped systems from 1912 to 1915.   I have those units available for sale.  (see picture)

  4. Power Wagon Dude,  thank you for the reference on Dodge Bros ignition parts.  Yes I have a fair supply of points, rotors and dist caps for Dodge from 1916 through the 60's.      Regarding Ben McAdam, Ben passed away in 2017 shortly after I purchased his entire inventory and vending trailer.    Ben was a good friend and a wonderful source of information.   We talked almost once a week before he passed.  

     

    As Power Wagon Dude said in his post,   "Advice - If someone has what you need - Don't 'quibble' on the price - BUY it NOW!!   The supply of this stuff is drying up fast.
