    I've spoken to Jim Mann a few times about the car he built for a customer - and I supplied the intake manifolds for the car.  I guess I'd better call Jim and ask how the mate-up of the bell housing and transmission went.  But, will the '41 bell housing fit my '37 engine?

     

    Thanks for the photos, Rex.  You did send some of those to me before. 

    Should fit.

    The salon horns you require are also used on the 35 Fords.

    Hope this helps you.

    Close but not the same.  View photo.  The domes are different and the stude horns go down and out further.  I bought the ford repos and did not use them.  Cheap horn.

  3. The ASC will be using the Spring Hill Estates by Marriott, in Mishawaka, In. The rate is $106 per night and includes breakfast. The ASC hospitality room will be there also. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/trave...5-54ba596febe2
    This is a very nice area with many quality restaurants, motels and shopping. Mention the ASC when making reservations. We have a block of rooms reserved. Easy drive to the fair grounds and the museum.

  4. There is no seal on the slinger.  I went to the wood hobby store near me and bought wood that was strong enough to pound in the slot but not too hard as to not absorb the oil and swell.  I forgot what kind of wood I bought but still have some.  Then cut it to size.  About 3/16 by 3/16 and 4 inches long.  when putting on the rear main cap I put a very thin coating of silicone on the cap sides.  I also put some silicone in the slot before tapping in the stick seals. 

  5. Gary, I do not install timing gears by drawing them on.  It is too easy to damage both fibre or aluminum gears with the load on the cam shaft from the valve springs.  i remove the lifter blocks and cam.  Then use a press to install the gear and install with no problems.  If you do draw it on, make sure you rotate the cam or crank to keep the load off the gear as it spirals on. 

  6. Actually, I did finally acquire the four I needed.  I had two rebuilt at Five Points but I think I'm going to send the other pair to Apple Hydraulics.  The guys at Apple can practice on Rex's parts, LOL!  But, thanks for keeping me in mind.

    Twice I had leakers from five points.  Never a problem with Apple. Still hard to pay the price.  But that said, it it a real pain to rebuild them myself.

  7. Was it something I said? Several people commented about the wheels and two even sounded like they might want them so I added more pictures and measurements. Is there something in the photos or specs that takes them out of the Studebaker world? Thanks!

    I am not able to check the bolt pattern for a couple weeks. If the pattern will work on the 35 commander I would need 5 matching wheels.  I think Peter needs the one that has replaceable spokes to match the ones on his car.  Thanks for supplying the info.  Hopefully this posting will find a buyer for you
