Well, I didn't 60+ years ago. Now I'm stuck with these unenergized lockheeds. Still patientily waiting for Ted's kit to fix them.

Probably haven't soaked or ran it long enough. If it was mine, I'd liberally squirt an MMO stream at it through the plug hole, Maybe let it...

Re: Petcock
Might be better to simply replace with brass pipe plugs. Easier to get plugs in and out with wrench than turn a handle in that location.

Re: Any value in a 21 stud flattie?
>>Should I be worried I have a 21 vs. 24?>>>
Maybe. If my calculations are correct, a 24 has 14.3% more studs than a 21. But a 21 has only 12.5% less studs than a 24. :D

Re: 1937 Oil Bath Air Cleaner
Why can't you print the image? Looks eminently readable to me. Then make your own decal by laminating the print. I've even used clear packing tape to make a durable laminate.

How do you know it needs to be replaced? Try to describe how much you think it's leaking during & after a good run.
