  1. CarCraft did an article a while ago about junkyard sourcing a remote oil filter housing. http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/ccrp_1201_junkyard_builder_budget_oil_filter_relocation/
  2. Took this...... And applied rustoleum with a 2" roller in the driveway and made this!
  3. Not sure anyone cares, but the early 1950 Dodge Truck fuel pump bolted in with little problem. The most major issue being the fuel lines moving up and out from the motor. The pressure is good and there is no noise from the relocating of the pump arm on the cam. Antique Auto Cellar was not able to offer a kit for the auto-lite pump, only a custom rebuild. I'll just get an extra truck pump for $36 and be done with it.
  4. After a bit of measuring, I ordered the truck pump. The pump arm is different, but I don't see why it wont work. I'll let everyone know in a few days....the biggest reason? Truck pump $36.95 from Rock Auto, the car pump $89.00 from Rock Auto. $50 is $50 no matter how you save it.
  5. Thanks for the offer Merle, but I'd be afraid I'd not get it back to you when you need it. I'll just get a truck pump and resell it if it doesn't work.
  6. Nope, Young Ed stated this. Someone else would need to confirm it. Decisions based on unproven statements generally lead to regrets.
  7. So....Napa didn't have the pump after all. I have an email into Antique Auto Cellar. I am curious however if a truck pump will work. I don't need the glass bowl, my vacuum wipers feed off manifold vacuum and I have a ton of exterior clearance. Rock Auto has them for $36. In a prior post, Young Ed noted that as long as there is no exterior clearance issue, the angled lever style from the truck will work as a replacement for the straight lever type I removed from my car. It just positions it in a different place on the fuel pump cam. Can anyone confirm this?
  8. Thanks for the recommendation to Antique Auto Cellar. I reviewed their site earlier and found a lot of information about the Carter and AC pumps. Nothing on Auto-Lite. I was hoping to find that there was an alternate source (industrial perhaps) where the Auto-Lite was used and available. I looks to be just as I suspected, an oddball part.
  9. I just spotted Heavy Duty Tractor Trans and 303 Rated Trans Oils at Walmart in Wisconsin yesterday. about $40 for 5 gallons. Buy a pail and split it with your friends. (for the Fluid Couple) 10 weight non detergent was on the shelf for about $3 a quart.
  10. I pulled the fuel pump from my 1950 Wayfarer yesterday and discovered that as usual, I don't have what most everyone else does. Instead of the usual Carter fuel pump, my flathead has been purring right along the an Auto-Lite fuel pump. A search of this forum (yes I know how to do that) revealed a bunch of posts about the Carter and it's seemingly faulty pin issue. This would lead me to believe that perhaps the Auto-Lite is a better option......if I can find a rebuild kit for it. There is one on ePay right now, but it would need new seals as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-Lite-Mopar-Hammerhead-Style-4001-Military-Passenger-Car-Truck-Fuel-Pump-/200799062591?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec08e8a3f&vxp=mtr Does anyone know of a source for kits. It is Sunday morning as I post this so calling the usual vendors is out of the question. Is there a reason I cant just switch to the Carter that my local NAPA has on the shelf other than the fact that my lines are a bit shorter? (there is enough room to move them into place).
  11. At the risk of over stating the obvious, I discovered on my 1950 Wayfarer (which I have no door or trunk keys for) that by pushing the inside door release handle beyond the "neutral center" it locks the door from the inside, just like pushing the lock button down in later model cars. Pulling it all the way back unlocks the door and opens it. Have you tried to open the door using the inside handle? I had a 3 day long panic moment the first time my kid was "helping" and locked my drivers door.
  12. E brake cable on my 50 Wayfarer is a clutch cable from a 1976 Harley Sportster. Father in law had his bike stored here and when I need to get the ebrake working, I just went through the spare cables until I found one that was close to the right length.
  13. Tell you what Don J. I have a tach/dwell meter here that I found on the shelf of a garage that was going to be burned down. Send me a message with your address and you can have it for whatever the cost of shipping is....the lens is foggy but a it of polishing should take care of that and apparently some guy named Jay owned it at some point as he scratched his name in the case. It's a Dixson model 1501.
  14. Found this, 1948 Hot Rod magazine ad. Being that the poster is in Vancouver, it would stand to reason that his CN Plymouth parts would be Dodge parts here in the US, correct?
  15. Actually, being current production brass, the threads are most likely NPTF (national pipe thread fine OR national pipe thread fuel, depending on who you ask) and would be of a dryseal configuration with the pitch and valley of the thread modified to create a mechanical seal with no thread sealant required. You would be hard pressed to ever find #6 and under brass in IPS tread. The bushing would be the equal to a Weatherhead 3220x6x4 and the SAE J512 inverted flair adapter would be equal to a Weatherhead 202x5x4. Here's an awesome resource for brass works, any decent parts store can cross to Eaton part numbers and most stock parts under them. http://www.eaton.com/ecm/groups/public/@pub/@eaton/@hyd/documents/content/pll_1015.pdf
