My local auto parts store sent mine away and got them rebuilt

Yes he did

So I put the inspection camera down the oil filler hole and noticed the floating pickup seemed a bit to high and thought it was oddly close to the front of the pan , so I poked it with the end of the camera and it was not floating it was stuck against the front of the pan. Pushed again on it and it dropped down and is now floating and I have 42 psi at idle . So my only conclusion is that the top half of the suction tube that is threaded into the bottom of the block has moved and had repositioned the tube not allowing the lower part to float, I did just have the pan off I may have jammed the pick up tube then . otherwise it is working normal no engine damage done crisis has been diverted .

I am going to do an oil change and see if the oil pickup swivel is a concern , I pulled the filler tube and will use the inspection camera to see what height the currant level is in relationship to the swivel and report back .

OK my low oil pressure situation is back , I have 15 psi on cold engine start up then after 60 seconds of running oil pressure drops to 10 then fluctuates to 5psi then back up to 10 then down to 2-5 psi then back every 5seconds and continues to do that , unless I increase the throttle then it might go to 15 at about 1500rpm .

That definitely looks like you got some good engines to build up into a nice power plant, I wish I new more about the cam grinds that those engines used in the combines it could help in making it a better street engine , either way the engine was a good find . Sold my supercharger so I am giving up on that option ,

Desotodav I remember see those under there I will see if they aren't siezed and try to adjust the pedal height then I can remove the optional C belt "thing a ma whatchamacallit "

Mine has a piece of C width fan belt screwed down but I think it was put there to reduce the released pedal travel and stop the arm from hitting the floor boards .

I would sell it , I will pull it out of storage and take pictures of it and PM you , my only concern is I am up in Canada and these would be costly to ship ??? IMO

I have a Fulton style in storage but they are all aluminum and to flimsy these are steel and much better IMO .

This is the centre bracket

I built my own centre bracket , I thought the bracket that was attached to the centre of the windscreen was flimsy. Mine is good with no movement at 65 mph .

I like the rim on the kitchen table with flowers in it ,it makes for a nice centre piece , it's just my wife isn't as understanding as yours mine wouldn't let me bring parts past the garage door your so lucky . Ha ha

You missed we have no "Trump "

Most pedals are made of cast and are usually fairly solid but I guess there plus or minus spec s where off a bit that day .
