This topic is rediculous. There is no way a starter will have enough torque to cause damage. You will stall the starter and foul plugs. Hydraulicing a running engine is completely different. Inertia will brake stuff.

amps are amps...the voltage rating is that when the fuse is blown the gap in the burn out metal will be such that the voltage it is rated at will NOT arc the gap. Your 32 volt rating is good for automotive...

Hardware store. I had a similar leak in the speed control for the 3 point lift on my tractor. Long story short - after unsuccesfully trying to obtain a very expensive rebuild kit, a hardware bought oring of the proper size fixed the leak. This cost less than a dollar and has been in service for many years.

I have sent him a PM about some nice bed sides, so he might go that route.

Thank you all very much for all the information! It's VERY helpful. I guess my journey is beginning... - Paul

The 328 kits will fit a bunch of different jacks. You won't use all the seals that come in the kit. That plunger has a dust seal on top and an O-ring with a nylon backup ring. If you can find someplace that sell Orings and backup rings, that may be all you need. With the handle out of the way you should be able top pull the plunger out and access the Oring.

Doesn't everyone have a spare hanging on the wall???

If you have a local company that does hydraulic repairs, you could give them a try. I've had a bottle jack rebuilt many moons ago by a shop like that. Maybe if you carried it in they would know what you need?

I can help with this project, I just wired my 1948 Plymouth convertible from scratch using a fuse box. I can show where to mount the fuse box and how to run the wiring. The first thing you need to do is order a car color diagram of the wiring, (11x17) that will come laminated and runs $18.95. (www.ClassicCarWiring.com)(888-606-5319). It will take me a little time to go through all my receipts and take some pictures. Bob Ritter rritter2@ca.rr.com 818-792-7710

What you're seeing on the drain plug is actually a double square with 8 points. As stated you can use a 1/2" drive ratchet.

I rewired my car with a scratch made harness. I put the fuses on the drivers side kick panel, as close to the gauge cluster as possible. All the ciruits that come off the ammeter go through the fuse panel. Headlights are protected by the breaker. Fuel gauge, dome light, tail lights, signals, wipers, and lighter all have a fuse. I also upsized all the wiring.
