WTB Set of Piston Rings 8-Cyl .040 over
JFranklin replied to OrtonvilleBob's topic in Pontiac Flathead Owners
EGGE Machine may have some. Or try OTTO GAS ENGINE WORKS. -
Snyder's is a Ford Supply house mainly but manufactures seat spring assemblies in house. Google Snyder's and add Ford parts, or antique, and it should come up
-
Snyder's can build your seat springs if you can give dimensions.

Look up OTTO GAS ENGINE WORKS.

I did that accidentally, I also use MMO but I was glad I saw steam and shut things down quickly.

I bought a Willys Knight and got it running and yes there was a bit of smoke. I ran it up the driveway without water in the radiator and stopped it before it really overheated but after that it smoked much less. I think it freed up stuck rings.

Tell us why you are sure the seat hasn't been replaced. Kids could have spilled grape juice. or a smoker could have dropped a stogie ash. In '46 things were still hard to get so maybe the factory had to use what they could.

Olsens Gaskets should be able to supply you. Most of the gaskets can be made from flat gasket sheets from the auto parts store and an Exacto knife.

Heat is a good idea, I was successful removing brake fluid with brakeclean and a month+ buried in cat litter. Of course I wasn't needing the car for awhile!

Need help with brand of vehicle in old postcard
JFranklin replied to machocraine's topic in What is it?
Looks like a Ford. -
The original sealed beam headlights were fully adequate when the car was new, I would check the voltage and grounding. If good, 2 new sealed beams might make a difference. I found much brighter headlights after my cataract surgery!

Starter or Armature for a 1927 Hupmobile
JFranklin replied to Auto Showcase's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
Can't it be straightened? -
The bulk of your operating funds would come from pre-sale to the potential participating members. At our last regional we also negotiated bulk discounts on lodging, catering and local attractions. Most of the outside business support was in the form of door prizes from local businesses which they could write off as advertizing. Other door prizes were encouraged to come from the other participating clubs. My artist wife made this birdhouse as a door prize. It is made to display an Ertel metal car bank.
