    Just press a new seal into your retainer. You know the shaft size, measure the housing size/old seal outer diameter and use the Timken selector tool to see what fits.

    My 51 shows an inner and an outer oil seal. the inner is Timken number 6241S and has an inner diameter of 1.375, outer diameter 2.441" the outer is Timken number 450775 and has an inner diameter of 1.375, outer diameter 2.690" Both are seals only, no retainer. Not sure if either number will work for you, but witht he specs you can measure and figure that out. Use the link I posted above to cross reference competitors numbers and Timken will give their number, if there is an equivalent, as well as the specifications.

    every battery has a date code on it some where. Might be a sticker, might be embossed in the case but it's there. Might be an issue figuring it out as it can get somewhat esoteric, google is your friend there. For optima this post has date code info https://tawallaccess.com/2016/08/03/optima-battery-warranty-guide-lines/

    Well, I took the cap apart. It appears to be designed to vent both a pressure build up or a vacuum condition. The vacuum side might work but the pressure side either doesn't work or it's set so high it's essentially not capable of venting the pressure. BTW, the reason my above pic of the motorad cap looks like my Delco one is that my cap is a motorad cap that Delco boxed up and sold, lol. So I cut the spring as DJ194950 mentioned. A pic of that valve apart.

    We know yout riser is an issue, so let's resolve that first. A video on a slant six, but still relevant. Mopar part number 4318039AC Rust Penetrant

    Their website is not very user friendly though.

    Put the part number in the selector tool at Timken, it will give you the specs. https://www.timken.com/engineering-tools/seal-selection-tool/

    Going to 0.5V with a load tells me no amount of charging will make it work. Sounds like an internal break in the conductors.

    What is the voltage reading across your battery terminals? Sounds like a dead battery.

    Got the Edgy head this past week. Wished they would have told me I needed to be here to sign for it, had to scramble to clear time in my work schedule, but all is well, I have it.

    Going to have to check the wire from the horn relay to the Ammeter then. If that works then from the ammeter to the ignition switch. Ammeter could be bad though.
  12. Sniper
    There should be a feed wire on the battery side of the solenoid. It should be green, 10 gauge, that feeds the horn relay. Where it attaches to the horn relay there should be a red wire, 10 gauge. That feeds the ammeter. the other side of the ammeter goes to the ignition switch and gets divvied up to various places. If your horn doesn't honk then it's probably an issue with the green wire mentioned above.

    Did you remember it's positive ground?

    I have been known to put the Texas Rangers on the garage TV while I am working on my cars. I don;t really watch it, just listen to it. takes me back to the days of my youth listening to Harry Caray shouting "Holy Cow" when the Sox or the Cubbies did something worthwhile. For sound in the Plymouth I added a couple of speaker to the rear shelf below the package tray and a bluetooth amp to drive them. I use the old wiper switch on the dash to turn the amp on/off. Unless you open the trunk no one can see anything. And when Zeppelin is blasting no one suspects the old car of rocking.

    The CP ones were made in Australia by Fountain IIRC, I think they are not longer made. You could try to email them polymuscle318@hotmail.com but that address is pretty old, not sure it's still valid. Edelbrock made some cast aluminum ones years ago, no longer made. So the only suggestion I have is to keep an eye on Ebay if anyone lists a set.

    Having served I can tell you that in Mil Spec speak expired means expired, if it meant inspect it would have been labeled inspect and given an inspect date. Mil Spec is pretty good about being very specific and not leaving any grey areas. MIL-STD-129P is the relevant document.

    Don't have a pic of the Delco cap, this is a Motorad but the venting setup is very similar. Looks like it might have a spring loaded valve behind those 5 holes.

    https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4646622 Shows to be vented. Went to AC Delco's page, it give no specifications other than a picture and a listing of what it fits.

    Good tire selections are thin in 17's and even thinner smaller than that. And by good tire I like Michelin Pilot Sports, not BFG's, lol.

    AC Delco 12F7 is what I bought, the specifications do say it's vented. The old cap appeared to be a vented one as well. Inspection of the venting apparatus is fairly limited but I saw nothing obvious in either. I almost wonder if modern emissions regulations made a difference. There is no spec showing at what pressure it vents, nor do I have a spec for the original cap. So who knows.

    That almost 10 year old expiration date worries me though. Must be something about aviation types, lol. I was cleaning out the pantry and my wife had stuff in there with expiration dates almost as old, in the can it went. She used to be an aviation mechanic in the Navy.

    I plan to go with late model Crown Vic 17" steelies and moon discs. The Crown Vic rims because I plan to use Crown Vic 12" discs/calipers in the front and I know the rims will clear.

    Which brings up a question I have regarding fuel tanks. Mine does not vent. I bought a new vented cap and it still does not vent. On warm days you can heard it oil can when the fuel expands. Once I had gas shoot out when I opened the cap. Is this normal? If not should I add a vent?

    pop rivets, lol, what genius decided that was a good choice. Pull the sender, drill out the pop rivets, use solid rivets. Of course you will need to use the right tool to set the solid rivets. If you already have an air chisel then Ajax Tools sells the rivet set that uses your air chisel to set the rivets. You can find them on Amazon as well as the rivets. Now I do have a secret weapon, my wife was an aircraft mechanic in the Navy and she knows all about rivets.
