Hi Tom, there is a condenser but it is mounted outside of the distributor housing on the bracket that holds the coil . . . . . and there isn't a vacuum advance, Cheers, Joe

Hi Gary, Yes the dual points are stock to the L35 - 8 cylinder from the factory. The F35-6 cylinder engines had the single points. Cheers, Joe

I agree, great story and a nice car to keep going . . . . . Thanks for sharing the story . . . .

Having a really, really nice fall in Western Canada . . . . Temps in the mid 20's Celcius each day for weeks now ( mid 70's Fahrenheit ) great time to take the 1935 Pontiac for a few last spins . . . .

I have used Olsons and they are very good and supply many of the stores etc. They can even make one if you send it to them, http://www.olsonsgaskets.com/

A wealthy land owner stopped at gas station to fill up his truck. While waiting for the attendant to fill the tank he wanted to impress on him how much land he owned, so he said, I have a ranch just West of here and it takes me 3 days to drive from one end to the other. The attendant looked at him and said " I used to own a truck like that" !

Hello, Canada did go to kilometer per hour in 1977 when switching over to the metric system . . . . you would be looking for MPH for your 1926 car . . . .

Thanks Randiego, I'll have painted the emblems and they turned out really well. I didn't think of the petroleum jelly idea, so I'll keep that in mind, Joe

Thanks Pete, I'll look around and see if i can find some, Joe

I think the one in the background might be a 1935 Pontiac 8 cylinder with the Indian Princess hood ornament. it's hard to tell . . . .

Take a look under general discussions, I have also posted the question there and have a couple of replys (suggestions), Joe

Thanks for the above methods, I'm not sure if I can safely file any areas that are pretty fine detail without a miss and a scratch. I'll try the self etching primer and then the laquer and the paint paddle with the cloth . . . . I think that method will work best for these emblems, As always, Thank-You for your ideas and suggestions, Joe

Hello, I have recently had a few 1935 Pontiac emblems chromed and now have to paint parts of them before putting them back on the car. I haven't done this before and am wondering the best way to go about prepping / painting the chrome so the paint will stay on. Any ideas and / or suggestions are welcome. Attached are some pictures of the emblem I will be painting ( Pontiac 8 ) and an original emblem ( Pontiac ) with the original paint still on it. Thanks in advance, Joe

FYI - I think the clock is for a 1936 Pontiac . . . .

Great looking car . . . . Do you have any pictures of the interior of the car? and is there any rust on the vehicle? Thanks, Joe
