Hello, I have an article from Old Cars Weekly Feb. 10, 1976, about Harrah's discovery and acquisition of this car. Do you already have this article, or would it be of interest to you? It is fragile due to the newsprint that OCW used at the time. If it is not a duplicate, let me know. Dennis

This works sometimes. Make a small cone of duct tape and fix it to the end of your wire. Run the wire down as far as it will go. Use your air blow gun to shoot it out the end. Dennis

Hello Mathew, Sorry I can’t help. I will let you know if I come across anything. Dennis

No luck with Certified. Appreciate any suggestions or comments. I wonder if Owen produced a parts catalog where one could possibly identify interchangeable parts. Thanks, Dennis

Thanks Rand, I’ll give them a call.

One more try. Unable to make contact with my guy to rewind these. I realize these are hens teeth. I was told once that Owen’s used very few different armatures and field coils among the different products. Can anybody confirm or have any suggestions? Thanks , Dennis

If you are not interested, please let me know. Thanks, Dennis

Very hard to tell for sure. I vote light six. Dennis Hood and louvers.

Bhigdog to the rescue again! If we were closer,I would love to apprentice for you. You’re the man. Thanks again, Dennis

John, Beautiful plaid side. I should know this car but It’s unfamiliar. Can you share more on here or PM. Thanks, Dennis

Hello Mark, It was not a blanket condemnation of pressure regulators. My point was just a caution that you could create a problem much harder to diagnose than the one you are trying to solve. Thanks, Dennis

Hello Mark, I am glad you had good success with the regulators. The last regulator that I threw out was on a 1920 Studebaker, 289 cu in., single barrel Stromberg. On heavy load, this car would always lean out. A problem we chased for a while. We had the regulator set to approx. 2 lbs. to accommodate the needle in the Stromberg. This is still twice the head of the original vacuum tank. Long story short, switched to vacuum tank twenty years ago and never ran better. My only point was not to create a problem while fixing one. Dennis

Ran when parked!

Not a fan of pressure regulators. In the case of the VW, volume may not be an issue, but the cheaper regulators set to a setting of less than 5 lbs. will limit volume at high end. This can create other running issues. If you need one, buy quality. Dennis

Hello Xander. Love the post. Also have some 52 Hornet parts. You may need some. Dennis

A shut-off valve will regulate volume and may increase pressure. Sometimes fuel pressure regulators will also reduce volume. Dennis

Brillman is your best bet here. Custom made to size with proper terminals. Cloth covered 1ga., no problem. Dennis

Hello Vin, I sent you an e-mail. Thanks, Dennis

Hello Linus, No luck on the king pin kits. Send me your address in a pm and I will get the gaskets to you. Dennis

1-5/8’’ was a common size years ago. Should be a few hanging around.

Leomara, I sent you a pm. Dennis
