I know this post is very old, but Egge does not sell valve springs for a 1931 401 Pontiac anymore, I guess. I've tried several different places...Anyone have or know of a supplier?

Good afternoon, Dennis, Do you have any valve springs? Need as many as you may have.

Thanks! Egge and CPR were a no go. I will contact the company and member you suggested. Any leads are appreciated!

You wouldn't happen to have a good source for valve springs would you? My dad has a 31 as well and needs to replace a broken spring.

Hello, my father is looking for valve springs for his 1931 Pontiac 401 as he has a broken one. Does anyone know a source? Another thread on here about the same subject from many years ago suggests egge in California, but their website search tool says they do not carry such an item. Please help! Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I will check them all out!

This car is a keeper. other than a few minor scuffs here and there, the previous owner who I suspect passed away had all of the rubber replaced, glass replaced, headliner replaced, seats recovered, etc. It's in fantastic shape. There are only 2 issues I have found. The vent flap will not close as the vent lever is stuck somehow and I cannot free it and this wiring issue. I do have the Manual. It came with the car. It seems that the man who had it prior to the jackleg that I bought it from really took care of it. any suggestions on a good source for an OEM harness?

Thanks, it's beginning to look like it's the smartest option at this point. it's definitely an interesting car. never had or seen a vehicle without Park. Interestingly enough, we drove it around the block yesterday and parked it. Now it won't even start because the new alternator must not have been charging the battery, or there is now a slow drain. Ugh. Oh well. Sounds like I'm on the hunt for a new generator, 6v battery and some wire.

no, I'd have to purchase one. He didn't do a whole lot of re-wiring other than under the hood where I can see. i do have a wiring diagram and can follow what was done to an extent. Voltage regulator is still in place.

has anyone done a 6v to 12v conversion on a 54 royal? I just purchased this vehicle, and the past owner did a partial conversion (if you can call it that) and it's sketchy. He said he did it because he could not get a new generator, but I don't believe that. Anyway, the car starts and runs fine, but stalls when in gear when i hit the brakes. Only the clock light comes on when I turn the headlights on, and the glove box lights work all of the time. Brake lights work, just very dim. nothing else. He installed a "reducer" from the battery, and when you jump the 2 terminals, the horn will work. Just not sure if I should start fresh and convert or buy a new generator and put back how it was. Any help is appreciated. Also wondering if changing the wiring harness can be done without having the interior stripped out. Thank you.
