When I was searching for mine I used a search engine that searches all of craigslist-nationwide. I located 3 engines this way over a period of a couple months. I got the closest one. https://www.searchcraigslist.net/

George Asche 814-354-2621 The linkage he makes is a nice set up. I don't have one but he showed me one in his shop.

Mine appears to have a different core in that tube, it 'looks' like it is a press and turn to release the core spring etc in mine. I believe the tube is fixed. I used a parts cleaner to run a bunch of cleaner through the tube to flush it.

Yep I've been staring at the bushing tool you bought for a few weeks. Note the graphite seal instructions says to test with no more than 14 PSI. didn't see the psi mentioned on the Miller part instruction sheet.

Miller made a tool to check a fluid drive for leaks. It requires draining, filling it with air and submerging it in water. #C-668. It is a threaded fitting for an air hose.

I'm rebuilding a later one, an E9a1. I am rebuilding one that was rebuilt by a rebuilder years ago and sat on a shelf. I don't trust their rebuild. I'll be following this thread. It's very interesting.

If you're holding your tongue how do you hold the two screwdrivers? Seriously, I'm about to embark on a BB rebuild and this stuff really helps. Thanks.

An odd one that I've experienced. make sure the distributor is snug if you messed with the timing on that tuneup. I've had one slowly, a little at a time, creep out of time b/c it had not been tightened down correctly.

Sniper is right. Yes, look for another guy, the patterning and layout of the seat is no big deal for an upholsterer. Look for the Sailrite videos on youtube of how to cover a bench seat to see the process. It's not like a modern bucket seat. A big pleated rectangle with a couple curved pieces on the end etc. Your old seat cover is the pattern.

Have not done it in this application, but sticking/wedging big washers into the spring to lengthen it then wrap it in a piece of tape so they don't pop out at the wrong moment, install spring then remove tape and washers.

how about going with a larger diameter for the single pipe?

Those little notes you slip in the baggie, never use a ballpoint pen or marker, always use a pencil or crayon. inks fade and surprisingly quickly at that. I have several blank tags on the wiring harness I'm duplicating that are only a year old. I also own a Dennis Hopper self portrait-He was also an accomplished photographer, that his signature faded away to nothing b/c he signed it with ballpoint. Moral of story- PENCIL.

Found this aftermarket filter canister. It's new old stock. Has a typical paper and metal filter inside a cotton sock. I should be able to make this work. Has a cool look.

while you're at it, If you're having your generator rebuilt, send along that regulator as well so they can clean it up and set it up with your generator.

Well something I should also have checked was-did the block have the needed mounting pad for this oil filter canister? It does not, so useless for the new motor. Oh well, only out the time it took to clean it up. I had better luck sorting a clock for the dash. The wagon had a delete plate instead. Found a clean non functioning one on Ebay and took it apart, cleaned and lubed it. Found the magnet's windings were disconnected and fixed that with some soldering, It should work fine now.
