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

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.

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: 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

The balancer is installed the same as any other 216-235 engine. The common practice that I use is to install bolts in the puller holes to avoid damaging the rubber between the halves of the balancer. The I use a large hammer to drive it on. It will

Re: 12 volt starter for 54 by bobg1951chevy Yesterday at 12:11 PM

If you've converted to 12 volts, why not continue to use the 6 volt starter? It'll crank your 6 in fine fashion, use a 12 volt solenoid and all works well.

Re: mirror and brkt. by Chip Yesterday at 06:29 AM

Does anyone have a photo of an original mirror as used on the 1930 open cars? The one that was on my phaeton looks to me like a replacement. If not a photo, a complete description would help so I can look for it.

Thanks, Chip
