Re: Pressure Brake Bleeder

Due to the location of the master cylinder I use an air operated suction bleeder. This attaches at the bleeder valve.

Re: Alt or Volt gauge for a '52

A volt meter is a better choice to know what is going on. An ammeter only gives rate. But, because I like to know both level and rate, I have both and mounted the ammeter under the dash in a small panel. Thank you. I was leaning towards the volt meter. I read that with a solid state regulator (whic...

If you want a volt meter, just pick up wire 27 from the instrument cluster (it's grounded through the panel).
Yes, thanks.

Amp or Volt gauge for a '52

My '52 M37 has wires 8 and 9 out of the regulator. The previous owner had an amp meter but it doesn't work.
What would be best in the cluster?
The easiest to interpret?

New voltmeter and rewire?
Check wires 8 and 9, maybe rewire or new amp meter?

Either way seems just as much work for me.

This is a 'future project' and want to have it rebuit then swapped in.

Charles has already provided locking hubs, power steering, power brakes, and some work. I know his work well.

Looking for a late year 230ci flathead

As said: Looking for a late year 230ci flathead
Military preferred but complete, head and block
To be rebuilt so tired is ok, just not seized
Must have flywheel
No carb, fuel pump ok
Best location in the NC area

Re: Carburetor Stud Size & Distance on Manifold??

Thanks for all the input. I picked up a modern single barrel carburetor that "may" work. It's rated for a 220ci to 260ci 6cyl. For $30 I'll take a chance as the jets are available for tuning if required. Going with the OEM  Federated# F331227H gasket. If I need to open area around the port...

Hi RD, According to my TM9- 8030, the carb stud size is 3/8x16 NC x 24NF x 1 7/16 length. Still digging on the distances; might anyone have a carb gasket they can measure for RD? My manuals don't have that measurement. Thanks, Gary Perfect! I have a gasket arriving tonight that will work for any ot...

Re: Pinion Drive Shaft Seal

This Mother is just wearing me out. Any hints / tricks on getting the old one out??
I'm almost thinking this is going come out in small pieces!

BTW: The old seal was leather and the flange is worn/pitted. Definitely needs a sleeve.

Thank you.
I had to look a 3rd time. You're correct there are some listed but nothing for the 1.875 I.D. x 4.014 O.D. x 1.000 sized pinion flange seal.

Update: (confirmed)
F&R Axle Pinion Flange Speedi-Sleeve #99187
