If you're lucky the problem is only the small wire inside the distributer with worn insulation grounding out when the vacuum advance kicks in.

[Can anyone ID these radio dials ?]

I reproduce lenses for vintage automobiles and wondered if anyone here can identify in what vehicles these dials were used.

I sell over 100 lenses on eBay as "grandpadodge"

I have found at least 4 different types with the same round dial.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Reg Evans

 

[Studebaker clock identification needed]

Hi there,

My name is Reg Evans and I make reproduction speedometer, gauge, radio, and clock lenses for old cars and sell them on eBay.  I found this image of a clock lens on line for a Studebaker and I need to know what years it covers and the dimensions of the glass.  Anyone here have one and know about it ? Are the graphics in metallic gold or just a kinda gold color ?

Thanks,

Reg aka grandpadodge on eBay

[Studebaker gauge lenses wanted for reproduction]

I make and sell many types of instrument glass for old cars SPEEDOMETER, GAUGES, CLOCK,  & RADIO.  Please have a look at this ebay item and then check out my other items. 

If you don't see what you need for your Studebaker ask me about making one for you if you can provide me with an old faded and flaking glass. 

Here's an example of one I sell now.

[Who needs a new reproduction speedo/gauge glass for a 1933 DeSoto?]

I reproduce lettered glass for old car speedometers, gauges, clocks, and radios and am wanting to reproduce the speedometer /gauge glass for a 1933 DeSoto.

If anyone out there needs one and has their old one I can use as a guide in making an exact reproduction I'll do it for free.  Contact me at rego@hughes.net and send some photos of what you have.

You can also check out my lenses already in stock by going here and the clicking on "see other items".

[Rear End identification ?]

Thanks Jack.  I'll need a helper !

Are the pinon seals marked so I'll know what to order ?

[Rear End identification ?]

I bought this rear end the other day for my 33 Plymouth from a man who said it came out of a 1933 Plymouth Coupe but that it wasn't stock.  It has 3.58 stamped on it (hope that's the ratio) and then a casting number of 600211-13 and it has bolts with the DB logo cast into the heads.  It needs a new pinion seal so I'm wondering if anyone has a book that can identify this rear end so I can order a new seal ?  I'm also wondering what vehicle may have donated it. It has 10 x 1.5" drums.

Well I'll Be.  I've been living in the PNW most of my life and didn't even know it.

Fill me in Please.  My old cars are 30's and 40's vintage. What's a DA6 ?  10 to 20 is a pretty good spread.  Is the engine hot or cold when you're getting these readings?

Agreed, I want to do it right. I'm prepared to take all the advice offered here, just need to get the brakes healthy again. If the pedal goes to the floor, all the adjusting in the world probably won't fix that so something else is amiss. We'll start with a new master cylinder and bleed the system again. Then I'll figure out how to set the shoes up properly with a tool. I'm sort of thinking that if I'm tearing it all apart, I may as well buy new shoes and put those on before we go through all the trouble of setting things up. We're planning on going to the Chrysler national meet in Detroit in August, so hopefully  I'll have it ready by then. Melanie wanted to take it to a show on Sunday, but with the brakes being like this, I'm not going to let her drive it.

 

Any thoughts on either of the tools up there being the one we need for setting it up? 

 

It's the Ammco 1750 but that one shown is not complete.

[What year is this speedometer lens ?]

I found this one image on google and it's entitled 1939 Dodge Canadian so maybe that's it !

Hi Reg,

Try the Plymouth guys... Looks like a 39 Plymouth layout (as I'm sure you're aware). Definitely more detailed than the standard Plymouths though...

UK or Australian version ?

 

Good luck

Dave

Thanks Dave.  Here's the US '39 Plymouth version that I refinish.

 

[What year is this speedometer lens ?]

I found this in my inventory and it was incorrectly labeled as a 42 Dodge Canadian. 

I make all kinds of old car lenses and want to list this for sale but need to confirm what it fits.

I'm leaning towards a '39 Dodge. It may be missing a color in the numbering ?

I sell on eBay as "grandpadodge"

[Sidemount covers? 1935 DB model DU]

The tire cover is listed as an accessory so it is a total stretch on your part to say that fender mounted spare tires came with metal tire covers.

Read down a little further and you will find fabric tire covers were offered as well.

 

Oh....I should have said could.  

[Sidemount covers? 1935 DB model DU]

From the price list of accessories for my '33 Plymouth it looks like the side mounts did (change that to could) come with the cover because it says $30.00 for black or $32.50 for color.
