1954 Generator by n2chev 15 minutes 22 seconds ago

I am rebuilding my 54 generator (#1100028) and while waiting for parts I installed a (1105009) polarized the reg and it works fine. My question is: what does this generator (1105009) fit? My book (1929-1954) does not list this number.

Re: Did you fill out a Survey ??? by AntiqueMechanic Today at 11:11 AM

I was contacted this AM by a member in a town close to me and he had just received his G&D. Not sure if he received the G&D based on a replacement copy or this was the one due at the first of the month. Obviously something happened for

Geez Mike --- DANG GOOD IDEA!!! I was talking with a "good" member of my local region yesterday and just sort of for the heck of it asked if he'd sent in "the" survey. He said he didn't know what I was talking about. Hadn't even seen it in the G

Ray knows what he is talking about.

To replace the antenna on my 41, I called Denny Turner in Florida {I think that his name}. He advertises in G&D, under parts for sale. Check out a few back issues you'll find his advertisement.

The engines with manifolds were painted as the doggie wrote. However most restorers use a high temperature cast iron manifold paint on the exhaust manifold to keep it looking good and not rusty.

Re: 28 engine rebuild by Chipper Today at 07:11 AM

If your bearings are pitted, either they are getting brittle or acid has attacked them. In both cases I would suggest getting your shells rebabbited and then line bore them to proper size with 4 0.002" shims per side. There are a few places that do

Re: float for 32?? by Chipper Today at 07:03 AM

You can try a radiator shop. They will need to solder with an iron not a torch and be extremely careful not to get too much solder in the crack. Also drill small hole at the ends of the crack to stop from cracking more. You can also use a little t

Re: running very rich??? by Chipper Today at 06:49 AM

What carburetor do you have on your 1932? Is it an original Carter W-1 212S? Or is it the later 235S? Or a replacement?

As Ray suggested check the float for leaks and adjustment. Also check to see if the float bowl cover is straight

Does anybody know the specific rotation value (revolutions per kilometer) for the AC speedometer (metric) that was used in 26-27 cars and -28 truck? Usually the value is printed somewhere on the meter face but AC does not have it.

The complete engine (less the accessories such as the starter, generator and etc.) was painted dark blue-gray at the factory and in a short time the engine enamel burned off of the exhaust manifold.
