on a new oil pump install a member local to me had the same problem, ran a minute, stopped, no fire and called me...he had not discovered the broken gear as he knew it was a new pump and could not be the problem....I discovered this right off, (always check rotation) got a new pump...primed the unit and installed, indexed correctly for the distributor corrected the cap wiring and let the big dog eat...Sadly this does happen.....I am not sure if it was lack of initial lube or what else could have attributed to the instant fail on start up. He had to return the pump AS IS for warranty so an investigation was out of the question.

now I see why you are replacing the line.....

if you bought a kit.....the kit supplier should have included a coupler and instructions for which lines in the kit are to be connected for reaching the rear axle y connector. If not, contact them for this information and or as stated, get proactive and grab some line and a flaring tool and quit depending on companies that are not up to speed/falling short on the products they are advertising

I find it very hard to believe this, my local store has many many options on gasket materials.....are you doing the looking online or did a store employee tell you that do not stock any gasket material....

Unfortunately paint systems is an ever-evolving product. The big move to leave systems using solvents and go waterborne eliminating the VOC issue is pushing so many lines to the side. Not to be a bearer of bad news but there is a good chance an overall respray is going to be your best bet for match as blending systems usually can be seen fairly easily. Secondly, I would try to incorporate the views and such of your experienced painter on all aspects as the man will be more accustomed to the line of paint in his wheelhouse compared to throwing in a mix he is not accustomed to. So many here use so many different lines of paint and prep products/techniques all you are going to get is a view of THEIR preference that may not come anywhere close to your immediate needs. I would be one of those should I make a suggestion. IF you have to travel to a larger town a few miles away carrying a clean sample of a piece painted prior for matching, this may well be you best time and money spent looking. But again, ask your painter's input and if you trust his work, you should be able to trust his recommendation also.

many fans when changed from the back of the rad to the front have now flipped the motor and housing...and normally these are reversed by flipping the fan blade. You will recognize these reversible unit as they are advertized....REVERSIBLE

ya know they make a special wrench for installing starters.....

If there is a tax stamp on that jar..it is not moonshine, just distilled corn liquor....as a very young lad I happened upon no less than three working stills while traveling through the woods where I grew up.......see this, you just keep walking and keep your mouth shut...I knew two of the men running these stills, good idea who the third one belonged to.

do you have a tap and die set that has the TPI gauge include....you can gauge the TPI and then OD. Carry that to the local hardware retailer. Or carry what you have remaining and match it up in the store... If I had one out of a tank I would have recorded the size...but never saw a need to pull a drain plug....if a tank needs servicing in this late of its life, odds are you may need to cut an access hole and reweld that.

One of my favorites has always been SPAL.....use these often in engine retrofits.....you can usually depend on the ratings they state with the specs....pretty much a quiet assembly. you can check them out online.....

the bottom right pic is what the prtty people latecomers call a R clip.......gee, wonder how they come up with that,......lol

I admit I did not read your reply.....my apologies for repeated information...that is what happens when you mark post as read as admittingly I do not read every entry...

just in case you go looking for these at the hardware store, online or other specialty shops.....these are HAIRPIN clip

EST....rang in the new year with the tubular bells and then mums and I cracked a bottle of sparkling grape juice....don't get much wilder than this...? We off to a good start......best wishes to all....

resolutions are not promises to oneself, they are thought out plans of mice and men...acknowledgement of things you wish to accomplish...if you look at it any other way you bound for disappointment why I never set a timeline for a car...I measure my progress by what I call mile markers...each segment broken down and yes, usually on a check list...many times the shop will not get straightened till I have reach that marker and can put this behind me along with the tools I used. Organized chaos works well here. Computer got hit by lightening last night.....am on back up now and will pick up my new tower today. This started out as a gentle rain then blam out of nowhere this massive storm blows through in just a couple minutes..even the street light went off after it passed.

we normally have mild temps....my hydronic loop in to an exchanger in the ducting...not a radiant loop by any means though I have one set aside for the upstairs some day......just sitting in the kitchen with a coffee and talking with mums about the earthquakes in SC...bud lives right in the epicenter of that.....said he thought he was back in Iraq and was looking for something to dive under...the AC came on....it is 80+ today.....I have been in the yard pulling weeds and such and was about to head out back and get the welder cranked up and do the few small repairs on the Morris doors....would be nice to start the year off spraying some primer.

for sure this is appropriate...TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD

you have to give the era credit, folks dressed much nicer back in the day when they left the farm fields and workshops, homes and kitchens.

the wide ratio is selected for the less powerful engine for starting off with a loaded vehicle...this wide ratio make for sooner shifts in gears 1 and 2 for that reason, to get you moving...once your legs are under you the other gears are of proper ratio as the other boxes for driving thus this is really what makes them work as well as they do behind the flathead...ability to pull away with les feathering...a well tuned flathead on smooth level terrain could in a manner forego first altogether but feather will increase....feathering is added wear....the T5 drives different with the wider ratio for a reason...it is for ability to work when called on.

all real transmissions have floor shifter........

when static timing you rotate the distributor....not the engine...

well yes the general design goes way back and widely copied in the industry.....few banjos units still being built....

more likely....oil pump is indexed one tooth off and you may need to address this....procedure is in later published books.

good set of lights.....? bad set of lights...?
