Durant, did you get good results from Tuckyman? I have a few 'parts' vacuum tanks in the basement. One is a 318-A with a cone shaped float and the other is a tank with a number I can't make out that has a round float with a flat top and a convex bottom. What are the dimensions of the float you need? We might just have a match.

I'll be going down early Saturday morning. I have been to the show many times and each year the chrome seems to get more and more space. I usually pass the chrome by and concentrate on the booths that have more rust than chrome.

I recently bought a Ford Model T speedster that has 1926-27 Ford wire wheels. Since I prefer the look of 30 X 3 1/2 high pressure tires, I would like to have someone build a wire wheel using 30 X 3 1/2 clincher rims and the standard 21" Ford wire wheel hub, since the Ford wire wheels are more readily available. Does anyone know of someone who can do this???? Thanks in advance.

I have a complete '29 Essex transmission for sale. The aluminum webbed bell housing is also in excellent condition with no cracks. $50; won't ship; may deliver to northeast shows.

Let me check this evening when I get home, I may have a set for your buick. Does this still use the starter/generator from Delco or was it a starter only by '25? I'll check my books. I have over 5000 brushes in stock for most cars before '35.

I posted this on the Buick fourm, but I think that one is mostly new stuff. I have what I believe to be a pair of rear touring doors for a 4 cylinder Buick. They are shaped very much like a Model T door (no cut-out for the rear fender), and have the typical Buick door hinge. $100 for the pair. Can send email pictures.

I need a 20" rim for a Ford Model TT truck. It is a split rim very much like the 21" for the car, but it has six mounting lugs around the circumference.

Gents, i had a problem with my vacuum tank on my '27 President - the vacuum at high speed could not keep the vacuum tank filled with enough gas. I kept running out of gas and had to prime the vacuum tank each time. Once primed, the car ran fine. I never ran out of gas if I kept the car at speeds of 30 mph or so. I put a six volt pump at the rear gas tank and set the pressure of the pump at its minimum. I then put a small T in the gas line at the carburetor inlet with the line from the tank at the bottom of the T. I then filled the vacuum line from the manifold with solder to shut off the vacuum to the small gas tank and did the same with the line from the vacuum tank to the carb. By doin this, I bypassed the vacuum tank completely. The incoming line from the electric pump is painted black , and no one ever even sees it. I have never been stranded since. I know it is not authentic, but my President is on the road much more now than it was before the fix.

Neil, I have a jumpseat that I cannot identify, I will send you a picture tonight.

Sorry for the missing email, I'm new to the forum. It is oldford@worldnet.att.net

I have what I believe is a complete top for a 7 passenger Studebaker from before 1925. I was told it was 'prbably' Stude. It is a 'one man' style top and it is 5 bow, 90 inches long, and is in excellent shape. send email for exact dimensions. Price: $650.
