Steve,
According to Gene's post, the temp gauge was not a factory option for the Master, so the Master would not have left the factory with the temp gauge. As Gene said, it was a dealer installed accessory, which most dealers apparently installed--hence most Masters had a temp gauge when leaving the dealership. I have seen a 38 Master without a temp gauge (and the original delete plate, which has a Chevrolet bowtie on it) as well as a picture of one; I have also seen an instrument panel for sale on Ebay with the original delete plate.

Kevin....Turning the crankshaft while in the car was a real treat to watch..The old guy I worked for in those days (who owned the garage) was a "appointment only guy" he had a real following of customers.
He was a airplane mechanic in the Army Air Corps (before the U.S. had a "Air Force" ) in WWII.
He was a stickler for perfection.and taught me to except nothing but the best....He told me that during the war if any pilot got killed he did not want it to be his fault...He was a great guy...Long dead now......ED Very Interesting, Ed. I'm trying to visualize re-surfacing a crankshaft while in the car but I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around this one...Was he "turning" with a single point tool or was it a grinding procedure...? I'll assume he was doing connecting rod journals...? Thanks a lot ,Ed...I needed to get some sleep tonight. lol

Would really move your battery if you had the holder or do you just wish it came that way? Good photos thanks for posting them. grant Yes, I am going to move the battery to under the hood as each time I access it under the floor, I do additional damage to the mat. I will leave the original box in place but will remove and keep the original cables. I will use new cables including at least a 00 gauge positive cable. Beamer

I'm thinking of removing my mat altogether, it's so brittle but still in one piece...At least 'till all the MC work is done...Glad my battery doesn't reside under there...!
It appeared mostly angle iron involved with that battery holder...

Jim Jim..Thanx for that post.I checked out the eBay #. I never seen a 38 without a temp gauge...let alone a delete plate in it's place. BTW nice to hear from you again...I hope your truck project is going well....ED
I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

Thanks a lot ,Ed...I needed to get some sleep tonight. lol Kevin...The machine did only turn the rod journals, by grinding them to a precision setting..the arm with the grinding wheel inside attached to the crank like a con rod would turn the crank, only upside down...The spark plugs were removed and the machine would spin the crank,like a rod would do and grind it clean and back to round and the bearing would be replaced with a over sized one. ...ED

If the carb is HR (179 or 186) it will be a little restrictive (rev limiting) at full throttle on a 207 or 216 but I guess you wont be taking it to anywhere over 3/4 throttle opening anyway so you probably wont have a problem.

The first 202 came out in the HQ, earlier models had 186 as the "big" 6 cyl engine.
