I was making a cut in a bell housing to clear a high mount R&P on a retrofit....when I had the pieces off and laid on the table my minds eye saw a star wars type creature.....the bearing shells were on the table from when I was cleaning the crank and of course the bell after the cut...

That's Jesus!.... In some shield? You sure get side tracked?

I went ahead and made a 1-1/8 -14 bolt today 4 inches long. I did find a nut that fits. Fastenal actually had a 1-1/8-14 nut. No bolts just the nut in a grade 8. I cut a washer today also so I should have all I need to push the sprocket and damper on. Many thanks Conn47d24 for the info.

I scored a nearly new B-1 steering wheel awhile back on eBay for a modest price, to replace the one on my '49 that was crumbling...that's when I realized how pronounced the ribs opposite of the grips are...rather than build up those areas with epoxy and file each rib by hand, which probably wouldn't look very uniform, I stewed on making a mold from the donor. Then the worn steering wheel could be set in the mold for an epoxy pour of uniform cross-section. But that's sketched on the notepad next to the economical door check repair kit that I was cobbling together several years ago...kinda got sidetracked

Well the project started in the winter, and carrying over to spring

I believe yes but not positive. On my '38 Chrysler that I sold the lettering was black so as I say, not positive. Hopefully someone else chimes in who knows for sure. I'm not a big fan of beauty rings. All they do is scratch the paint and are often noisy when driving as they tend to "work" unless they are perfectly straight. I used to have them on my '48 Dodge D25 club coupe but took them off and sold them when I repainted the car including the rims.

No contest but, I found a face in a part I was cleaning on my B3 Name that part

Check the little thin wire going to the points inside the distributor. It could have frayed or grounded-out.

It was your posting Dodgeb4ya, that I found searching for a 1-1/8-14 bolt. Thanks to you, the idea is great and didn't take very long at all.

Gutted the heat riser. Installed copper sheet blockoff plate... problem solved.
