My best guess is that something did not get aligned/indexed correctly when the housing was re-assembled around the heater core.

Does anyone know how to remove a for sale ad from this forum? I want to take my car off the market for a while and I can’t find out how to do it.

Do you have a carbon core coil wire or metal core wire?. Separation of the carbon core wires are a common problem particularly in 6 volt systems. The coils don't have enough voltage to jump the gap and spark plug also.

Tiny,

I just returned from being out and found an email shown as being from Geek@stovebolt saying that my registration at The Stovebolt Forums has been approved. One can see postings there, but not click on links or post anything until their registration has been approved.

It is probably a first line of defense against scammers. I certainly didn't mind having to go through that step. I should have gone ahead and signed up the same day I signed up with this forum...the day I came home with my project truck!

Nick

Re: Fixing my Dad's 1929 Chevy - Its a Surprise! beachbum 03/28/24 06:14 PM
One more thought. The brakes on a '29 have a lot of moving parts that will become stiff and drag. Roll around underneath the car and oil every part that pivots, moves, slides, turns, or pulls with 30 weight oil. WD40 will not be good enough, it dries out and does not leave any lubrication. All the way from the pedal, and the emergency brake lever to the wheels. You need to do this at least once a year before touring season. There is also an odd little equalizer at the front brake trunnion as well that helps the shoes adjust in the drum. If the car has been sitting, or that area has never been lubricated there is a good chance that the front brakes won't be as effective as they should be.

You can reach out to virtually any one on this forum. Either by the chat site, a private message (PM), or a direct email you can print off as a reference. We all enjoy seeing and hearing stories such as yours. Many of these cars are getting torn down to make rat rods, and hot rods. There are getting fewer and fewer. I believe you don't have to hot rod them all, and you don't have to save them all.

For parts the Filling Station in Lebanon OR, Marx Parts, or 20schevyparts online are a good start. Or if it is something else you need you can post in the "parts wanted" forum further down this page.

Please keep us posted as to your progress.

Thanks

Re: 1932 deluxe 2 door Coupe WildernessTruck 03/28/24 03:55 PM
I would recommend that you take it out for a test drive, with the owner sitting beside you.... see if you like the way it feels on the road... ask the owner if it has any mechanical issues, that he knows of, that might need repair or replacement soon.... see how it steers and brakes... and ask him what his bottom line selling price is...
these vintage cars... don't drive and handle like a modern car... so check it out and see if it is really what you want....
I like the way they put you back in time... to a slower pace of Life... as you take them out for a Joy ride.....

Re: 41 Special Deluxe Mr87Monty 03/28/24 12:53 PM
I have a 41 Master Deluxe with the original 216 and it has a Carter carb, not the original but the same model that came on it. It needs some choke (1/4 - 1/2) until it is warms up. Once warmed up it will idle without any throttle.

In the past on this car I have had a bad coil cause the car to require more throttle to keep it going and as it would stall at low RPM.

In another instance it had a carb that needed rebuilding that did make it harder to start but did not require any more choke. Once going the performance was not there, you hit the gas and it took a while for anything to happen. It would idle but I had that turned up on the old worn carb.

I think back then most of the torque specs were measured in uga dugas and good enoughs and not using a torque wrench.
