  1. Just acquired a 1948 Jeepster from an estate.  I don't know much about these cars (I have Studebakers). The car is rust free, 6 cylinder, top in great condition. The upholstery is amateur. Odometer show 16,000 miles. I don't know how accurate that is. I do know that it was used as a "Shriner" parade car at some time. It is complete and would make a great (an easy) restoration project or keep as is for a nice driver. All inquiries are welcome. I am asking $9000.00. The car is located in Michigan.

    pm me for additional info or 517 795-9658

  2. Helping a friend that just purchased a dissembled 1956 Fury.  He would like to find a Shop Manual and Parts book to help with reassembly .  He would also be interested in a parts car (55-56 Hardtop).  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

  3. When I removed the rear brakes shoes from my 1937 Dictator the brake lining on each shoe was equal length.  When I got them back from being relined one brake shoe lining was shorter than the other as pictured in the shop manual. What is the correct way to install the brake shoes? Shorter or longer to the front or rear?

  4. Yes, you can bypass it. However, be sure to use a low pressure fuel pump. This is what I use in my Model T's http://www.amazon.com/Airtex-E8011-Electric-Fuel-Pump/dp/B000DT7Y70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423602827&sr=8-1&keywords=airtex+fuel+pump+6v

    Ok, I've seen those electric fuel pumps before. Can I use it in line with the vacuum tank? i.e to keep the vacuum tank full when running at cruising speed or at low vacuum while accelerating?

  5. Can I by-pass the vacuum tank on a 1927 Studebaker by adding a 6 volt electric fuel pump? At cruising speed (45mpg) the engine seems to be starving for gas. Maybe not enough vacuum to fill the tank. As when the vacuum wipers quit while accelerating.

  8. This has probably been previously addressed on this forum, but being new to Pontiac, I want to convert my 1960 Bonneville 389 to a tri-power setup. Can anyone help with the correct intake manifold casting number and the correct carburetor models for the front , center and rear. Also is the complete linkage avaialable?

  9. This may be a long shot but do you have a non restrictive muffler installed? I have a 1931 President that came with a repaired cracked exhaust manifold. I had to replace the exhaust gasket every season. The car did not over heat but ran hot and blew the exhaust gasket regularly. I was advised that it might be the muffler. I replaced it with a NOS non-restrictive muffler and the problem was solved. Just an idea that you might consider.

  10. Recently got a 1919 Light Four running that had not been on the road since the 1930's. Oil pressure is "zero". The service manual instructs to check line to gauge for clog. Negative. The manual suggest to "prime" the oil pump. How do you 'prime" the oil pump? Or should I just remove it for inspection?
