Good day folks, I am seeking one straight and true steel wheel and driveshaft. Application is for a 1941 Packard 110 club coupe (1485 model). Seeking a shorter driveshaft for the future installation of factory overdrive. Wheel size is 15" (diameter) x 5" (width) - 5 holes on a 4 1/2" bolt circle diameter. Thank you, Tom

I may be interested in the distributor, depending on condition. Thank you for your preservation efforts!

Setting up for spooky fun- '51 Chieftain

I like it! Can you get Elvira to drape herself across the hood? Keep up the good work. Tom -
Automatic transmission? If so, you may have an issue with the floor mounted shifter. You may need to adjust or repair / replace as needed. To those not familiar, these early 'Birds have to be in neutral in order to start. Silly, I agree. Best of luck.

Can you also show us a picture of the right rear brakes? A photo of inside the drums would help, too.

'66 Mustang 289 stumbles and hesitates when driving
tom_in_nh replied to dr. james's topic in General Discussion
Hello and greetings from southern NH. First items I would check, if the car was in my shop: engine compression and vacuum tests second, if the first checked out OK: fuel pressure and volume test third: ignition system waveform pattern as viewed with an oscilloscope. Bear in mind that there could be a possibility of multiple problems / misadjustments that may mask the original issue(s). I suppose you could try a new Edelbrock carburetor, this might be akin to a surgeon giving you a new heart, without first running a battery of tests. Best of luck. -
Remove the tube and straighten the crimped over section. I use different diameters of sockets and a body hammer to bring the outside diameter of the tubing back into service. Do not over tighten that nut! Best of luck. Tom

Not sure if your bellhousing is integral to the engine or not, but in the event that your bellhousing is a separate unit: Did you use a dial inicator while assembling the bellhousing to the engine? Misalignment of components could cause erratic shifting issues.

Frozen hinges? Stuck weatherstripping?

The oil idiot light came on today on my Chevelle...

If it was my car, I would err on the side of caution. Do not continue to operate the engine until you get an exact pressure reading. What if you do in fact have a problem with your engine's circulatory system? Can't you hear the hundred dollar bills flying away? Most especially on a big block... Do let us know how this turns out. Best of luck. Tom -
Replacing press fit seals and cleaning differential

Major warning: Make sure that you reinstall pinion nut at the exact location prior to removal. Others will chime in with more tips. Good luck. Tom -
Was the crankshaft flange for the flywheel checked for run-out? Do you happen to have a picture of your crankshaft?

Ornate early electrics--Do any still exist?
tom_in_nh replied to John_S_in_Penna's topic in General Discussion
There are two pre-1910 electric automobiles in the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Ma. A 1905 Electromobile and a 1908 Bailey Electric. It is said that the Bailey was Mrs. Anderson's favorite - due to the fact that she could drive it, it was quiet and clean running. The original charging station still exists. Last saw it about 12 years ago. Tom -
Thanks for responding. I researched the part numbers. Unfortunately, this will not fit my truck. Thanks again, Tom

I am interested in the Ford emblem. What is the part number? Thanks, Tom

Has the Fluid Drive been apart? After reading this post from start to finish, this would be the next area to focus on. Good luck, Tom
-
What is the compression reading now? Fix the valve seat cracks and recheck the motor's compression. I suspect that is most of your issues. Good luck. Tom On edit: Is this the engine in question? If so, is it possible to have one flywheel inoperable?

1931 Cadillac Rolling Chassis with Engine and Trans.
tom_in_nh replied to David Fertig's topic in Parts For Sale
Hello, I have an interest in the ignition distributor, if you decide to part it out. Send me a PM to make it happen. Thanks, Tom -
I would be interested in it, if it is still available. Thanks, Tom

WTB: Ignition distributors
tom_in_nh replied to tom_in_nh's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
Hello John, Private message sent. I wonder how / why this post ended up in the cars for sale section? Tom -
That is similar to Packard. It is to help prevent shaft side motion. There is no valve or check ball at the end of spring. It is more of a rubbing block that has conformed to the shape of the distributor shaft. Hope this helps. Tom

@Fastam Was the Sturbridge Auto Museum connected with Old Sturbridge Village? Please share more memories, perhaps with photos, if you can. Tom
