Anyone know what this fits/is? Trying to sort/ID parts. Expiring minds want 2 know! Looks rechromed? Guesses accepted.....the benefit of a declining memory, finding shiny parts you forgot you had!

Thanx 4 those tips!

Thanx so much! I bought a replacement seat becuz the seat in the '39 I bought has been covered with new cloth, but when I sat on it I realized it just had the new cloth put on over deteriorated padding and springs that were no longer even covered with the padding. Uncomfortable! Trying to get a usable seat bottom out of combing two somehow. Heard the cloth cover rather difficult to remove & replaced.

Looking to hear about actual results of anyones hands on efforts to effective clean the cloth upholstery of this era of seat upolstery. Thanx very much for sage experienced info!

The throughout bearing I got from OReilys was sourced by using the original bearing number & cross referencing it to the current number.

It's 1994 Jeep Gran Cherokee 6cyl stk. Approx $125.00@ OReilys press plate & clutch disc match perfect. The original had a wavy spring steel insert about 99%cracked, if yer lucky, cuz then U don't waste time with poor engineering that no one has! At the price it's tough to find a rebuilder competing with Peking parts! They also had throughout bearing for 21 bucks working fine iny '39 Spec.

I often make a similar reference, "You have your phun cut out for U!

Hey Pete Believe the slant on the center section before 1939 is different on those exhaust/intake parts are not mix & match . In '39 the slant of the engine Regards the frame changed requiring an elbow shape on the intake Complete sys(ex&intk)could work by 'shimming' back to level, but I wouldn't try putting 38 older pts with '39 & newer. From addled memory, please verify! Good luck!

IMHO, losing 3/8" off 5-6" long of splines, Ill take that bet. Lemme know if you need parts. Or if you get really daring and want a complete stick changeover. I have a few parts in my 30X40 storage bldg.

Thanx Brad, Keep em comin', great upgrade. Careful you might lose you ships captain status. Lol

Tempted, but I would hafta be there to make that call. Do you think there's a way to accurately depict that shadowing as it may not be able to be buffed out. Thanx!

I have a 1955 Cent 2dr ht. It currently has a 1956 dynaflow transmission in it that I installed. The 1956 Dynaflow is 1" longer than the 1955Spec&Cent You can install the 56 dyna in a 1955 Super or Roadmaster much easier becuz those transmissions were equiped with a longer tailshaft. I took care of the extra length proble by studying the different torque balls used in that era. I used the 1948-52 torque ball which is shorter than the 55 Sp/Cent. I noticed my 55trans cross member was 'offset', I also had a 1955 Standard trans crossmeber which is straight, but still needed to have the bolt holes slightly modified. When I brought the torque tube and put the splined end in the U-joint it stopped with an approx 3/8" gap. Since ai had installed a shorter toque ball the splined front of the driveshaft was too long and ran into the center of U-joint yoke, so I pulled the driveshaft back out and shortened a bit more than 3/8" and chamfered the end as original. The trans fluid cooler on 55s is mounted at the back of trans. The 56 has cooling lines running to the radiator. I bought a remote cooler and installed in front of radiator. The reason the 56 is longer is Buick added another stator and needed more room in the bellhousing. It performs better at takeoff cuz they changed the ratio affecting acceleration. The fine splines in the U-joint evidently had quite a few failures, some being twisted like a piece of licorice, probably from more stress on the joint from increased HP and the torque multiplication with the changes in the convertor. Just a SWAG((scientific wild ass guess)! Good luck! I consider it an upgrade until it proves itself otherwise.

Yes, it's on both 2dr & 4dr converts and they are different lengths depending how many doors. I think the 4drs are longer. Don't quote me yet, I'll look at my brand new repo and compare it to my two door. Yes, it's available if it's 4dr.

Does that car have dual two barrels or single carb?

I have another 1942 Spec sedanette location I visit from time to time, but the French Lake car had quite a few takeoffs from others stored inside of it.
