    I just last week took the hood off and noticed a ID plate under the hood hinge area. Somebody used one of the bolts to mount a voltage resistor block. I have not taken it off yet but i will try to this afternoon. Thank you.

    Thanks Chistech ... I have not gotten the engine out but i have started, I really really want to stay as close to original as possible. I found all the parts separately except for lifters. Of course the mains bearings they say are poured babbit. Some say you can bore out to use inserts. Not sure about this. I will look for a 28 head or a whole 28 engine. Any help or advice is great. Thanks again.

    Can you buy an engine rebuilt kit for a 1927 engine ? And if so where ? I finally got an adaptor and checked my compression. 53, 42, 0, and 0. Not good. Make be a head gasket but number 2 is low too. I am the goober that if i have to work on it, i am taking it out and going all the way through it. I really want to stay original. Thanks

    On the 1927 Chevy truck ...i have started replacing the cab wood. Trying to line up the doors. This is a picture of the passengers door that i have not taken off. ONE- Is the door supposed to stick out past the front cowl panel or lay flush with it ? TWO - What about on the rear at the latch? Flush, out or overlap ? The one i have not taken off is on shaky posts. THREE - What about the amount of gap between the door and the latch plate? Thanks for your help so far.
  9. Chuck can you contact me ? I am interested in your parts book. tewilliams1957@gmail.com

    Thanks. I guess everybody is busy. I read your reply and it has taken me a while to get back to you. I have been looking at photos and articles that i learned alot of what you are talking about. Mine does not have the vacuum fuel pump but i want to put one on or a replica of it. I need a photo of how it mounts. Somebody put an electric fuel pump on it, which is great but i want to hide it. The air tube and exhaust canister is gone, so i want to fix that back too. I want it to look as original as possible. Somebody posted that you have to squirt oil in the holes on the valve cover? Is that correct? If so how much. Thanks for the advice.

    This morning i looked while i was actually awake and it is the throttle linkage missing at the steering wheel end. Not the dist advance. Good grief. I also noticed this morning that someone installed a modern plastic case accelerator cable. Everytime i go out there, i find something else. I am not an "original" nut but as close as it is, i sure would like to keep it close to original.

    I cleaned points and got it to fire off last night, so looking good. I have to make a paper gasket ring for the bottom of the carb bowl. It is leaking and i have to fix that before i can run it. I did find a number behind the distributor and it has E 16 7 so i assume it is May 16th 1927. And the number 846709. I also noticed that there is linkage sticking out the bottom of the steering column but the rest going to the distributor is missing. Can anybody post me a photo of the column end and how it connects to the distributor ?? Not sure it will run without that. I don't now what to look for or make. Thanks.
