Thank you for you helpful response; my Senior is an early RD model with the smaller intake Manifold. I have set the OX to Stan's recommended settings ,but the 3/4 to 1 gives me some more tuning options.

My 2249 Dodge Senior is fitted with a Stan Howe restored OX-2. The High Speed mixture adjustment is 2 1/2 full turns from stop, what I am not sure about is the Idle mixture adjustment: Stan Howe recommends 3/4 turn from stop but I have read that I should consider one or two full turns.

Thank you, I have ordered some new ones from Myers in the USA,

Is it possible to buy new Stewart vacuum tank springs in Australia?

I should have added "...the fuel will suddenly starts to flow agin." The engine is switched off.

After cleaning out a large amount of sludge from the block and fitting Ron's superbly made side plate ,four years of over heating problems for the main part have been sorted out. Yesterday I used the car on a 20 mile jolly to the coast, in hot (for the uk) 33c heat.It cut out in a traffic jam and after driving slowly on the way home. The problem starts when the fuel stops flowing through the glass filler to the carburettor; I lift the bonnet to let the engine cool down a bit after four or five minutes the fuel will suddenly starts to flow agin. I wonder if this is a problem with the Stuart Vacuum tank vacuum / vent sticking when hot ?

These are for a Ford A or T left hand Spring (1) on the picture.

Is it possible to buy right hand Bendix Spring clips (11)?

Thanks to Ron I am able to replace the broken Bendix Spring and the two damaged spring bolts.I bought a pair of Ford model A Bendix spring clips(1) not releasing the are only for a left hand spring. Is it possible to buy right hand Spring clips (11)?

I was thinking of using Loctite 243 and Flexoid gasket paper (oil and fuel resistant)

I will Loctite all the brass fittings to make sure they are air tight on my Stewart Vacuum tank ; I also want to replace the Gasket between the top and the body of the tank. What thickness should this gasket be (mm)?"

Thank you very much,Let me know the cost of postage . PayPal?

Than you Ron. This has now become a bigger job. I will need to replace the two Clips, Lock Washers and both the bolts ( Screw Shaft Spring and Screw Head Spring ) as they are both cracked.

Thank you for posting the Bendix parts page,I have a spare Plymouth engine with a starter motor ,I will see if I can use some of the parts from it.

My Dodge senior starter motor( SBH type 6400) Bendix Spring has just broken. is a new Ford model T, A or b spring a possible option?
