It is well known that the oil pan end gaskets will stick up above the pan surface and should not be trimmed. However, the FSM says they should stick up about 1/8". Mine (Felpro) stick up more than 5/16" above the surface, which is well over 1/8". So in this case, should they be trimmed to match what the FSM says?
I went to the local Fastenal, which has the widest selection in our town, and they didn't have a replacement. Close, but not close enough. They had nothing closer available to order, either.
Believe me, coming on here and bothering other members for one was not my first choice! ? But, I'm very grateful that Keith stepped forward with his offer.
1957 Plymouth 230. I am missing a screw from the carb that the pump arm pivots on. It is a shoulder screw...item #1 in the diagram. Anyone happen to have a spare I could buy?
I agree with Sam about worn bushings in the distributor...doesn't seem likely your old and new cap would be defective in the exact same way.
My 1957 FSM lists max shaft play at 0.008", which is about 0.2mm.
It would make sense to do it that way, but there's nothing in the instructions about the original piece, and I don't see any way to mount it on the HEI dist. Do you have a pic of how you made that work? Thanks!
