bumped the dizzy 90 degrees came right out. Question is there an O ring that belongs on the shaft? found pieces of what looked like it might have been a seal

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try them this evening . It disengages from the oil pump and will come out about an inch but no further. It is a 230.

Been awhile but finally getting back to working on the Wayfarer. Went to remove the distributor. It turns and will come out about an inch or so but can not get it completely out of the block. Any suggestions, do not want to use too much force. What am I missing? thanks Mike

Bob The 52 is on a truck somewhere between Rhode Island and Virginia. I am in Blacksburg, will head north for the holiday tomorrow, and the family will be coming down after Jan 1st. Good news is the new house has 3X the garage space as the last one. Have a good holiday Mike

Bob Is the Wayfarer on the road? How is the new intake and exhaust? Most important how has the T5 conversion worked out. Mike

Bob sent you a pm Mike

I will buy two

49 and 50. The 51/52 is different

Howard, The car looks great, will you be showing at any of the Rhode Island events? Mike

my wayfarer doors have a 5th screw in the hinge pocket, not sure if your desoto is the same.

Want to replace the channels and beltline/wiskers seals on the doors of my wayfarer before I reinstall the glass. Are there any favored vendors for the parts or installation tricks?? thanks mike

Couple of weeks ago a forum member, 58prostreet, offered to give me a gas tank for my Wayfarer project. Had an oppurtunity to be in Virginia this weekend and got a chance to meet Bob. He spent a couple of hours discussing his wayfarer project and the progress he has made as well as solving my tank problem. thanks again Bob, hope to catch up with you at Carlisle. Also my son and I really enjoyed your 58. Mike

thanks guys, it would never have occurred to me that this was to prevent theft

working on getting the Wayfarer running and installing the pieces that came in boxes... There is an armor covered wire coming thru the fire wall that is flopping around. The manual indicates that it is supposed to originate at the ignition switch. Any insight on how/if it attaches to the switch ?? And does armor covered section of the wire supposed to be on the interior side of the firewall?? Lastly why is the wire armor covered in the first place??? Thank Mike
