Re: 1936 driver side door latch
The clip you need is not an original part of the latch. It is a repair part, the original was part of the housing that has broken off. So the repair part will not be found in the bottom of the door.

Re: Generator and Fan
Appears like the 33-35 Generator. If you clean the body you will find a date code. The pulley usually has a part number as well as the front mounting embossed into the metal.

Re: Packing Differential Bearings?
I only use the final lubricant as assembly lubricant. So for the Ford I use the same lubricant I fill the differential with when done. For the most part there is no need to pre lube.

Re: Cleaning a Hydrostatic fuel gauge
I just leave the acid in for about 10-20 Minutes. Then rinse over and over again with water, or follow the instructions above. If the acid can not reach the stoppage chances are it will not work.
