    Installation depends a little on the location of the cam lobe...the arm rides on the lobe; it doesn't hurt to put some engine oil on the arm prior to installation... torquing the mounting bolts so the pump flange contacts the block begins pulling down on the diaphragm, so that when installed, the diaphragm does not fully bottom out during normal operation

    The pinched tube towards the firewall on the intake manifold is the port for the vacuum wiper motor, where a rubber hose would go up thru the firewall to the wiper motor. As for your horn button, the 3-eared brass plate locks into the collar, with a compression spring on the steering wheel that keeps that plate in place; the wire and Bakelite feed thru the hole in the brass, not under it

    Agreed, that's a spammer...the bogus account operator can see who is currently or has recently been online on a forum and start their hijinks from there...I have other accounts where I exchange information and about the time I am active, I will notice an uptick in spam activity... proceed with caution...

    I think the engine would also need supporting while the front engine mount is removed...

    A simpler version of this was supplied by our slip ring vendor, and there were issues with them on the floor and in the field...sub-assembly had trouble "threading the needle" towards the end of the work day, and the occasional warranty claim root cause analysis showed that the acrylic body could hold condensation then freeze, splitting the body, during transitional weather during late fall and late winter...compact? Yes, but not perfect

    Those plastic fuel filters aren't designed to be located that close to a heat source...I soaked my stone filter for a week in lacquer thinner, then repeated with fresh lacquer until it was clear after a week...ran with it for years, with an annual lacquer soak to flush it out

    Those flywheel studs are most likely installed at the factory on the crankshaft so that they act as pilot studs when the flywheel is being serviced in the vehicle... as DC has shown, a properly sized bolt with adequate shank can be modified and installed, with the downside that bolt modifications will remove any metal coatings that protect against corrosion. Also shown is that the fasteners need not be grade 8 nor stainless steel, as the original flywheel studs were neither...this is a Dodge flathead, not a Titan rocket

    since these bolts are not obvious to the casual observer, you could make something work that fits...

    Finally, furniture that I can put in the yard that will match everything else in the yard... One of the drunks that I went to high school with keeps pestering me with this idea, but he wants 1 of my pieces of yard art that is intact to hack'n'whack...luckily, my art collection would take quite a bit of work to extract, so that's what's keeping him at bay...

    That bolted-on rubber block is not a factory installation...the factory draft seal acts as a dampener/stop, but eventually that rubber wears out and the floorboards act as the pedal stop...I took a 10 inch long piece of old garden hose, cut a slit along its length, and slipped it over the pedal arm with nylon ties...this was done so when I took my foot off of a pedal, the pedal arm hit the floorboards with a *thud* instead of a metal-on-metal SLAM
