  1. I know this is a long shot but...... I need a right rear quarter window or complete assembly that will fit my 1940 Windsor. The latch rotted off of mine many years ago. Thanks
  2. Also cured the sticky centrifical advance, replaced the vacuum advance and set initial timing at 4btc (was 0). Sometimes I forget the basics! Runs cooler, more power and no boiling fuel
  3. Since I installed the heat shield and improved cooling air flow, I am no longer having the issue. Thanks for all the info
  4. Have been having an issue with fuel boiling in the carburetor with heat soak after shut down. 1940 Chrysler Windsor. I removed lower pans from either side of the motor to improve air flow, and installed a heat shield between manifolds and carburetor. So far, so good
  5. Looks like I will be needing some radiator help too. 167 at the top and 157 at the bottom not much cooling going on there
  6. deception pass sent me theirs. Nothing but the cross in the box. no needles, cups or anything else
  7. Looking for a rear u-joint for my c-25 (mechanics cross style) Looks like my only hope is going to be a spare that one of you might have acquired over the years as they are quite obsolete thanks
  8. I bought a 47 ford pickup last year. P.O. had replaced a bearing in the steering box. Steered extremely stiff. Found out he forgot to put oil in it nope, filled it with power punch, set up the clearance, no leaks, steers ok. Don’t think the P.O. drove it much

  10. I tried Evans in my 1961 Mercedes. Pooped a freeze plug right out of the block after years of never having any kind of problems with 50/50 antifreeze and water. end of experiment I still have a gallon if anybody wants it (free)
  11. George Asche would be the one to ask. He just built me a R-10 and has my old R-7. 814-354-2621
  12. I have a puller similar to the fourth one pictured. Was my grandpas and just like the one I used as a kid 50 years ago when there were more of these fine automobiles around Always had success whacking the barbell with a hammer, until My 1940 Chrysler. a 3/4 inch impact wrench took care of that problem. Made a heck of a bang when the taper finally let go!
  13. Sounds electric to me check the overdrive solenoid first then work your way back through the governor then the relay the solenoid won’t kick unless the governor gives it power
  14. Here is my experience: In 2016, California passed a law stating the there must be two places on the car with the vehicle ID if it comes from out of state for the DMV employee to verify. If not, you must take the car to the California Highway Patrol and have the VIN verified by one of their VIN certified officers, of have a VIN assigned by them. Then and only then will the California DMV issue a title. This is true even if you have the title from another state and it agrees with the VIN on the car. Annoying but true, have been through this twice in the last year, and CHP is an hour and a half away from me.
  15. I bit the bullit and ordered a r10 with 40 gears from George. Great guy they don’t make them like that any more
  16. My experience has been that a worn pilot bushing typically causes problems with direct, and not reduction gears, but what do I know?
  17. Need trunk hinges for my 1940 Windsor lid won't stay open and there is some sort of catch in the passenger side hinge that has seen much better days. Thanks
  18. I thought about trying a small parts kit in mine but that seems a little intimidating. I would hate to have to pull it twice
  19. I knew it was in the main box, I should have been more clear. I identified it as an r7 to designate which trans I have. Apparently, many years are interchangeable. I may hav found an r10 for a reasonable price, but I might just bite the bullet and buy a recon from George asche. After all, this thing is 77 years old thanks for your expertise
  20. I need some transmission help for my 1940 c25 has an r7 overdrive and won’t hold second gear on decel anybody know how to find George asche? Thanks
