    Just to be sure that the problem is the switch , jump the two wires together and see if you now have a brake light . Both the original type of switch and the aftermarket style are available at a good price .

    Reading in April 2018 Hot Rod magazine ; " A good idea for any aluminum radiator " ... a anti - corrosion sacrificial anode in place of conventional the drain cock . The one shown is Flex-a-Lite brand part number 32060 sold by Summit Racing for $11.97 . Opinions are welcome .

    I don't know exactly what your hinges look like , but can you reach the pivot points with a Zoom Spout Oiler ? A Zoom Spout Oiler has a long thin tube about 10 inches long and you can dispense oil uphill if you need to by squeezing the bottle . Zoom Spout Oilers also work good for oiling speedometers up under the dash .

    No it is not a sealed system . When you step on the brake pedal some brake fluid is pushed down to the wheel cylinders . That fluid is replaced by outside air as your master cylinder cap is vented for this purpose . The vent hole in your master cylinder cap and VERY small so you might not have noticed it . It is located in the side of the very top of the fill cap . Newer master cylinders have a diaphram under the cap that is designed to colapse downward and to help prevent this problem of drawing in outside air . Because there is a vent hole in your fill cap , you don't want to completely fill your master cylinder as the fluid will splash out .

    That is correct . As strange as it may seem .

    There might be a shop in your area that can test your generator for you . When you bring it in , bring your regulator too . Is there an amp gauge in your dashboard ? If you increase the engine RPM s the gauge should show a charging battery . If your battery is already fully charged the amp gauge would only show a very slight charging .

    Yes they had gaskets there . And no push rods . ( valve covers )

    Vintage Power Wagons has been selling the NOS 23 inch heads for $250 . I bought one from them a few years ago when they were still $125 . I least you can still get them .

    Half of the enjoyment is sharing the experience with others . My truck is 77 years old now . From the same year that Pearl Harbor was attacked .

    He gives three different options with his instructions , one of which is the method mentioned of reversing the nut and putting the cotter pin in the slots . Woks for me .

    Reg , If you look past all of the doodads , I put in a simple flat piece of sheet metal from side to side with a couple of braces to prevent wobble . That empty space bothered me too . Also my bumper isn't stock .

    It seems that someone could sell at lot of 23 inch brass tubes if they were to repop them .

    The machinist that rebuilt my engine 11 years ago found a BRASS tube for my 23 inch block . The tube was so oxidized that he had to sand it a little to see the brass . He got it from his friend that buys and sells the old mopar parts .

    I saw a Pilot House truck engine that had ALL of the head bolts tapped like this . I guess that is what was available to the man .

    I have had good luck finding them at the local auto parts stores .
  16. Jerry Roberts
    Huh ? How can that be ?

    You might be able to find information on that yard with a search on the truck side of the forum . There was a big write up on it a couple of years age with a lot of photos .

    Is this the one ? Brain's Salvage , 2580 Green Island Road , American Canyon , Ca . 707-642-5408 . I know that he has a lot of the old Dodge trucks , I don't know about mopar cars though .

    It seems that not all of the draft seals are of equal quality . The seals in Don C ' s photo look very thick and sturdy . The seals that I bought for my truck were much thinner and stretched over the pedals easily. My pedals looked like Tod F ' s welded on pedals . My thin seals wore out very quickly .

    Take your prepared housing to the auto parts store and look for the boxes of filters that might fit . Try them out for size . Not all of the housings are the same size .

    I think that most of us just bring the parts into a machine shop and let them handle it . Others have been known to shop for the correct reamer and do the job themselves . After I had mine done I eventually found a reamer at a good price so that I have it for next time .

    Fuel pump heat shield ?

    Someone has made up your rear end from two different rear ends so you ended up with two fill plugs . I wonder if you can drain the oil with a suction gun .
  24. Jerry Roberts
    You probably will want to clean the area first as grit can fall done into your oil pan from the exposed hole . Some of the oil fill tubes have a clamp that bolts to the block .

    Also if you take your part to a college welding class they might weld it up for you for free .
