Yea Keith I figured that out at this point the seal washer in there was all to crap.. got to see a bunch of things I never knew I wanted to know. But I like stuff like that. But yes bought replacement

Most of these hoses for the oil gage are rubber so that when the engine might move the rubber then can flex and this prevents the oil line from bending and breaking and leaking. You can get a replace rubber oil line on Ebay or contact Andy Bernbaum for your MoPar Vender. Rich Hartungdesoto1939@aol.com

Hibish..........AFAIK it makes no difference whether the car is RHD or LHD.........I had a factory RHD 1941 Plymouth and the pump looked the same style as that used on pictures I've seen on here of LHD pumps........also the 41 Plymouth whilst being RHD , the steering box which is the problem child in this conversation sits between the fuel and oil pumps and lives quite happily there........so long as the fuel pump you have has the correct placement of the mounting boss and the two bolt holes are in the correct position and the pivot pin is in place then the pump should pump...........I think you have carby or ignition issues............if you hold both pumps beside each other you can compare the angle of the arm in relation to the mounting boss and whether one contacts the cam under or over the actual cam is immaterial....the cam just pushes the arm, the arm pivots and the diaphram sucks & blows fuel.......BTW are you in Oztralia?.....attached pic shows the fuel pump that I was going to use on the hotrodded 230 I was buildingj..andyd

I understand the impulse to convert to a dual master cylinder. Redundancy is your friend in safety systems. That said, I have been running a single master cylinder for over 20 years in San Francisco and greater Bay Area traffic and it only failed once. That failure was right after I purchased it. I had a bad rear wheel cylinder. I purchased a new one from NAPA and put it in. About a month after that it blew. When I took it apart I could see that the seal had a manufacturing defect. After that I always inspect all seals in all brake items even if new. In the big Desoto I have a remote fill container up on the firewall. The end plug on the cylinders will screw into the top and you can just run a line up to the firewall. I use a white racer one so that I can just look and see how the brake level is doing. I use modern steel braided flex lines in place of the rubber. I new NAPA line got a bulge in it after about 14 months. So much for quality. My single master cylinder was sleeved with brass, but the man who did it has retired. You can get them done with stainless as well. If you rebuild everything carefully and keep an eye on it, the single unit system works fine. I think the real reason they went to a dual system was the lack of proper maintenance on thousands of peoples part that of course then lead to bad accidents. James
