Re: Y block no fuel

Well, the fuel issue is solved.
I feel like a bit of a bonehead, but sometimes I am!
It would appear that the previous owner had the fuel pump hooked up backwards, and as a result, so did I.

Re: Lever shock rebuild parts

So do rebuild parts not exist?
Or am I left to my own devices?

Re: Primer paint?

I'll be using SPI epoxy primer pretty soon on an OT project. It was recommended to me by a high end painter who uses a lot of PPG products.
It's priced well too.

Re: Anybody want a new friction tip for their vacuum brake?

I checked the friction disc on the extra distributor I have for my '37 engine, and it is indeed 5/8" diameter. I'm in for a couple.

Re: 37 spark plug wire loom

Interesting. I wonder what happened to the stock ones. The rest of the motor was stock, although it did look like it had been rebuilt before. Sorry I couldn't help ya out.

Re: 35-36 couple roof incert to fill roof.

Yes, the company you are looking for is Walden Speed shop. They do great work.
I don't think they advertise it on their site currently, but call them up, they'll make you one.
