Do early/late distributors have different lengths?
I had to install a new cam and cam gear in my 1937 21 stud, the later gear type that screws on instead of the earlier type that pressed on. Now the slot in the cam doesn’t reach the distributor. Do I...

Re: Running Hot When Not Moving
Is there a fan shroud that will fit a 1937 with the fan up on the generator? I did a quick search on the www, but didn't see much.

221 rear main needed, and a question about width
I thought about it for a quick minute, then took the main bearing to a local friend who is a pre1916 car machinist. He’s adding babbit to the thrust face tomorrow. Maybe a previous owner held the...

221 rear main needed, and a question about width
The rear main bearing on my motor is OK diameter, but there is a lot of end float on the crankshaft: about 0.025" The bearing is 2.246" wide overall. Does that sound correct, or is the bearing worn...

Re: Perhaps Another "Dumb" Question
I’d like to keep the intake cool, but don’t need a raspy sound from the exhaust. Maybe I’ll try some pennies though and see how it goes.

Re: 21 stud motor rebuild, beginner questions
That is my understanding too Brian. (but I didn't know about the tube). The car sat for about 20 years after a rebuild. I bought it two years ago and have done 2500 miles, but with a constant spray...

Re: 21 stud motor rebuild, beginner questions

Re: 21 stud motor rebuild, beginner questions
Thank you! That page on Red's site describes it well. And I might have been overfilling the oil. I did a four-hour freeway drive and the motor leaked about 1 quart every 75 miles. Ugh. It doesn't...

21 stud motor rebuild, beginner questions
My 1937 motor is leaking badly at the rear main. I think itÂ’s time for new piston rings. Cylinder #1 was low compression, leaking down past the rings and blowing oil out the breather and also into...

Re: where to drill 21 stud intake for PCV?
thanks Talkwrench. The issue is that the recommended PCV requires a gigantic 1" diameter hole for its grommet and there is no place on a 21 stud intake big enough to drill a hole that large. But I...
