Don, this thread has some info on identification on page 5 (which the link should take you to), including a table out of the Bendix catalog: Treadlevac Thread There probably is more info pertaining to ID'ing the units, but I didn't look thru the other 16 pages!

Marvin, on my Studebaker headliner, I used Eastwood's X-Mat Underhood and Headliner. Here is a link: X-Mat Underhood & Headliner Prep beforehand was scraping off the old asphalt pad, and cleaning as much as possible with a 3M scotchbrite pad. Then I painted the top with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator paint. Then the X-mat is stuck on (it's self adhesive) and rolled with a wooden wallpaper roller. It's been on the car for 3 years with the car sitting outside in the sun, no issues -- it's still stuck tight. Attached are a couple of pictures.

As I posted on the AACA forum: Too bad the previous owner stripped the original paint. It might have been a good candidate to get it looking as good as possible cosmetically with what was there, and fix the mechanicals, and drive it.

Yes, it could if the valve is not all the way open. Don't try to force the engine to turn past the point it stops, or you could bend a pushrod if it's stuck valves stopping it. Also, consider the possibility that you could have more than one valve stuck.

My guess on your huge valve clearance -- that valve is stuck in its guide.

I like louvers, on the right type of car. But in my opinion, a '55 Clipper is not the right type of car!
