1960 Rambler American Flashomatic Vacuum modulator leaks

[Guest imported_brian j]

Hi. My manual for my Rambler American doesn't show in the illustrations or address leaks from the vacuum modulator. It is adjustable and i believe it leaks from where it's "screwed in". Is there an O ring or gasket there that can be changed? If i need a new one, where can i get one? It is the cast iron version of the old BW 35 Flash-omatic behind the L-head 195.6 engine. Thanks.

From what I can see the vacuum modulator cannot be repaired. You can try these people for a new one.

Hi. Brian here. Thanks very much for the rapid response. I contacted Blaser, and he set me up with a modulator repair kit that replaces the ailing rubber diaphram with neoprene. it was spendy, but a new modulator was twice the cost of the kit. Thanks again,regards,Brian
