Truer words were never spoken

Stainless steel is more brittle and work hardens easier and it does rust. Not better on many fronts.

They do make a tool to straighten out hard llnes https://www.amazon.com/Tool-Guy-Republic-Tubing-Straightener/dp/B073W197H5

You know, looking at the pics in the link I provided, they don't look like square cut O rings, but if that is what they are then that's what you need. McMaster Carr has a good listing of square cut O rings in Buna N
-
I would just buy the correct O ring, Buna N should be the proper material. https://www.globaloring.com/blog/how-to-properly-size-an-o-ring-the-first-time-around/ If the cross section falls between two standard thickness, get the larger of the two. But odds are yours just got old and cracked.
-
You asked how the clearancde was adjusted, if you notice all of Tony's measurements did not include the O ring. If you use the correct o ring then no, it will not affect anything. Too thin, it leaks, too thick then yeah, it affects the clearance because then the stop isn't the metal to metal contact of the cover to the housing, but rather the fat o ring not squishing down enough,

It has been a very long time since I messed with that era MoPar and I have no manuals handy for them either, so going from memory (from the mid 90's). You should have a joint between the two, similar to a tie rod. That is a wear point and the most likely culprit. https://www.hiltopautoparts.com/product/nors-mopar-drag-link-repair-pkg-all-1936-1937-1938-plymouth-dodge-models/

Odds are most of those 1 star reviews problems are caused by the actual problem (the reviewer) not the pump. I like to note the date of the review, if I see a pattern of complaints after a certain time frame I think maybe there was a change by the manufacturer.
-
Maybe some meathead put in different bolts in those years? Maybe metric? Do you have a thread pitch gauge?
-
I went to Tractor Supply this past weekend, for the second time in my life. That is all, carry on ship's work.
-
Did you check with French Lake Auto and see if they had any?
-
Might talk to the freewheeling tony smith on facebook, he's real familiar with these rods and such. In fact I believe he has a set of ARP rod bolts for these rods. Here is what he says about the rod bolts
-
It did not need that added length when the car was new and all was well. Which tells use if you need it now something is wrong. Do not forget the bushings inside the torque shaft yours look worn out. That is probably adding to your adjustment issues.

The pilot bushing is an oilite bushing DO NOT USE SANDPAPER on oilite bushings DO NOT REAM an oilite bushing READ https://oilite.com/best-machining-practices

Large or Small Driving lights on my 1939 DeSoto
Sniper replied to desoto1939's topic in P15-D24 Forum
See now a song comes to mind I see a black wheel and I want to paint it red Apologies to The Rolling Stones -
Do not lube an oilite bushing
-
The pilot bushing typically installs flush to the end of the crank. As for the rest I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for.
-
Oh sure, just as he finally got it properly broken in you went and got a new one. Gonna take lots of work to break in the new one, lol.

Large or Small Driving lights on my 1939 DeSoto
Sniper replied to desoto1939's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Being a function over form kind of guy myself and based on what the OP wants them for I would temporarily rig one light of each up, with separate switches and see how they perform at night before I made any permanent decisions. -
The 230 I bought to build had shimmed bearings, never saw that before. Plastigage will do that for the OP, no need to spend money on calipers.
-
Solution, offer the OP a sum he cannot refuse then keep it 6v.

1950 Plymouth front brakes completely locking up HELP
Sniper replied to canadiandeluxe's topic in Technical Archives
THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT FORUM FOR THIS THREAD This is the technical archive forum, where already answered stuff of technical value is saved. As in it's a FAQ section. Use the P15-D24 Forum instead -
Problem is, I don't think the OP is planning on having the crank machined so it really doesn't matter. In which case two options apply. Don't worry about and leave the bearings alone or just put new ones in the same size as you have. Neither is optimal
-
Hmm, looking at Andy's post I see something that might work Yeah, it's listed as a fog light bracket, but it looks like it would clamp to those bumper brackets and a piece of angle iron bolted to the top would let you mount a plate? No, I wasn't looking for anything like this, I was looking for add on fog lights, lol.
