35Dictator

Hi all. We just installed an electric fuel pump, so far so good but I have a couple of questions.The pump is wired to the ignition but what will happen if the key is turned on but the motor isn't running? Will it continue to pump until it floods the motor or damages the needle seat. I think it pumps between 2-7 lbs.So far so good but I haven't let the pump run w/o the motor running for over approx. 30 seconds.The last time time I drove it was to pick up a gas filter at the local motorcycle shop and on the way home the motor revved up quite a bit like the throttle was stuck Could this be related to the pump or just sticky linkage,etc.?About the rebuilding the original pump reply we tried that and it would have worked, it did work for awhile. What happened was with the kit came a longer than stock pin for the lever that rides against the cam. We used it but shouldn't have because it made it impossible to get a wrench or socket on the two bolts so it leaked a little bit of oil from the gasket to motor connection.After seeing the pin was too long I took the pump back off and put in the original pin but in doing so this time I must have installed the pump with the lever on the wrong side of the cam resulting in it not pumping anymore and somewhat distorting the pump. The diaphram that came with the kit did work just fine, it stopped the gas leak through the weep hole and the car ran just fine except for the small oil leak.Anyone need a new slightly used diaphram for cheap,lol?Thanks all.

Hi all, my original fuel pump started to leak last summer and I think I will replace it with an electric one.Anybody have a part no. for a six volt and that has the correct pressure for it?How many would that be? Thanks all very much in advance.

Hi.I wasn't aware of the two models.Wish my car, Dictator, was really a two seater.Which of the two seaters are more desirable and thanks for explaining the difference.

Thanks for the heads up. I did bid on it but the more I looked at the picture the more I had to pull the tarp and take a look at the one one the car.It's a good thing I did because I turned out to be way different. Along with the water glass the bolt pattern was different.The one on ebay was diagonal and mine is straight across.There was only one pic. and it didn't show the bolt pattern, he emailed me. I wonder if my motor is truly a 35?Maybe my motor was from a 36?The guy that won it paid under thirty with shipping include.

I can't say for sure because mine is a four door but aren't all two doors called a coupe?

Thanks, that's good to know.Does Ac stand for AC Delco then?Maybe Napa,Carquest might be able to get this? Thanks a bunch.At the price of gas here in ND right now mpg wouldn't be good even though the car is tarped for the winter.

Howdy all.My fuel pump has a leak and I can get one new for a 39 Champion.Will this work for my 35 Dictator? Thanks.

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi....What is interchangeable to a 35 Dictator?Much of anything or little or nothing? Tail-lights?One of the two vertical pieces on the front bumper? Thanks..

Hi all.I am having a tough time getting my transmission back in after taking it out to clean the clutch and clutch plate.We used an alignment tool with the correct splines to fit the clutch plate but the end that fitted into the flywheel was loose.We had two to choose from and used the bigger one but still was loose. Would this be enough slop to cause the problem?Just by guessing the tool was half inch and the flywheel hole 9/16 to 5/8th's.Would adding tape to the tool work to take up the slop?Another thing is the transmission shaft seems to bind into the throw-out bearing, is there any trick to just even getting the bearing on the shaft? We have the bell housing on so maybe that's the prob. and we just need to align. the shaft/clutch plate first and then put the bell housing on?Thanks a bunch as were getting a bit frustrated.

Thanks for the info. One of the town mechanics here is almost ready to install the motor in a Studebaker truck and then I then he will let us use it.If not now I know that a tool is available. Thanks again.

Hello all, had to take the clutch, transmission out to clean the clutches and now need to put it back together. What works for this?Length and splines, etc.? As you can tell I am not the main mechanic.Thanks.

I would pay that for a 35 Dictator rad. cap in good shape.
