1936 D2 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi Pappy, Nice job!!! But don't you need the long stud on the one diaphragm cover screw for the heat shield? Otherwise the shield will flap around and rattle.Cool photos too! Keep 'em coming as you progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.White Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Well spotted 1936D2. Sounds like the voice of experience! Pappy, you probably know but there should be a gasket between the pump and block that's not included in your photo.Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pappy Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thank you , Yes , I have the gasket and the stud for the heat shield but the shield is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 It's a pretty simple thing. I think the one on the '38 looks like this but not sure. This is Part # 854413. The tab on the corner fits under the front exhaust manifold stud nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) This one fits the '36 and has a large hole for the air dome on the fuel pump. This is Part # 654766. Edited August 21, 2012 by 1936 D2 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pappy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 While I'm waiting for parts I'd like to start detailing the engine bay. Any ideas on color for the motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I sure could use some pictures if anyone has some Here is an example....be sure you put the by-pass hose on the gooseneck before painting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) OK. So here are a couple shots of the compartment in a '36 Sedan. I would suspect the coloring setup would be very similar. Just keep in mind the whole engine block was fully constructed before being painted silver - not like these photos. That means the water pump, bypass hose, fan pulley, intake/exhaust manifolds, head w/head gasket, and transmission with clutch bell housing were all in place and painted silver at the same time. So the bypass hose, edges of head gasket, manifold gaskets, water pump gaskets, timing chain cover gaskets and all parts on transmission & hand brake setup (except the handles and levers) were all painted silver too.The steering column & linkages, starter, pedal arms & linkages, master cylinder, generator, fan, radiator, horns, spark plug wire loom, oil dip stick handle, oil fill cap, air cleaner, road draft filter canister (if equipped), shifter lever, hand brake lever were all painted a semi gloss black. The firewall in '36's was a semi-gloss black BUT I think in '38 they started painting the firewall body color.All hardware is a dark color but not black. Must have been some kind of "treatment", either a heat treatment or cadmium or such that gave it a "darker than steel" look. (The hardware on the block, of course, is painted silver also).This all should be real close for the '38's also. Maybe one of the '38 guys with an un-restored car can speak up if I have any of this wrong please.

Guest pappy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I could really use the door strikers ( the part on the jamb the latch engages) Hood latches, window tracks, all glass, wing window assemblies and probably more I haven't thought of yet.

Guest Shayne B Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hi there - I'm posting here because you guys seem to be very knowledgable. I'm wondering if I can have some advice on 27 Dodge (Australian) Engine is in good nick. I've just put in the magneto but am wondering how to find top dead centre - is there a mark somewhere to ensure the spark happens at the right time? Additionally, I've heard people talk about retarding and advancing the spark timing? Do I need to worry about this with a magneto. It is 1927? Dodge A106449 - It has the starter motor generator combined thingy. (This is a 12 Volt system?)Thanks for any help. I don't want to attempt starting until I've talked to people who know these things in detail.CheersShayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
