They were helpful on the phone. The engineer helping me was sympathetic to my cause. Literally no Carter pumps were going to be made here as they continued to move production south.

I always knew you love wide white walls. I see the attractive young lady…..I’m guessing she was either blind or a special needs person? There MUST be a reasonable explanation?🤔

George, three years ago they shifted. I have had the conversation with several restores and they have had the same experience. I actually called the tech department about quality control and a custom made pump. The hey closed down their US research and development devision and will no longer make custom application pumps.

Since the Carter pumps have been manufactured in Mexico……I have had two new pumps fail in less than 300 miles. I would suspect the pump. It’s the only pump I run on ALL our cars……..but I now carry a spare pump that can be swapped out on the side of the road………..I have ZERO faith in them now…..but they are better than anything else I could find. Welcome to the world of Mexican Chinesium! Pass the hot sauce and soy sauce. Same goes for coils……..I have seen multiple modern 6 volt coils go bad right out of the box in less than ten miles. Last week, I had a NOS Packard 120 coil I was going to use as a replacement for a bad original……the NOS coil was junk also.

Fantastic car. Can’t say enough good comments about the 34 Lincoln. I don’t need another car, but I would love to have this one in my garage.

Sold for 40K. I think a fair deal all around. It is a nice car and perhaps the engine can be fixed without spending the 75K a top shop would charge to do it.
Buying lottery tickets now are we?-

Sorry, no photos available on my end.

The slot you are asking about is for the clip that is missing from your unit. If everything is not PERFECT, it’s a shit show.

There is a clip that attaches to the needle and slides over the flat hinge portion of the unit. Also, 99 percent of the replacement needles and seats are manufactured incorrectly……..causing fuel starvation. (Also binding.) A side effect of the incorrect parts are fuel drip or leaks…….depending on the circumstances. Nothing like a piss poor design that has 100 years of hack mechanics altering things in ways that are virtually impossible to detect.

I use the element as a back up to haylon, not as a primary.......

Derham was also doing moderate restoration work after the war. There are two late series Pierce Arrow's that were done over inside and out without any major modifications to the shell............

With a splash system and a low pressure and low volume oil pump, making any changes is a risky endeavor. With a modern rebuilt engine everything is clean, and modern oils lubricate and create almost zero sludge, you’re much more likely to make failures than improvements. I see no advantage to try adding a filter to this car. Change your oil often and forget about it.

Matt, haven’t you ever seen an antitheft device? This one works so well, nobody wants to steal the car at any price.!

I'm interested in the Element fire extinguishers, as mentioned earlier in this thread. Has anyone here actually used one of these units to put out an automotive or shop fire? Thanks. John
I installed two Element sticks in our Pebble Beach Best of a show Duesenberg Thursday. Also have two Haylon 1.25 pound units in the car. It’s our main driver and sees thousands of miles a year, so I like the extra protection. The car has FOUR electric fuel pumps and one mechanical……..all FACTORY installed. Every car in our collection has Element fire sticks as backup to Haylon. Yup……..expensive……..and worth every penny.Basically the Haylon will put out 95 percent of any fire early on, but the 90 seconds of use for the Element is a great back up in a very small package. I also have five of the sticks by the inside man door of our trailer ………..ask me how nice it was when we had a fire in the mid section of the box and we just lit them and tossed them inside while the car was straddling the fire…….worked great.

Took the 1934 Series 56C to Mar-A-Lago for drinks tonight. Drinks cost more than the car! New light bulbs installed last week work great.
